Fortunately 9500 or so people from all over found the place with ease. Can't find Oldham Road? Then you probably couldn't find your own arse in a blackout.<br /><br />We didn't have one complaint this year or in any other about it being hard to find and we had folks from all over the UK and abroad too. And and nowhere in Manchester Centre is big enough or within our budget in any event. Do you really think we didn't try that one?Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-44968622025448189452012-01-22T19:35:24.649+00:002012-01-22T19:35:24.649+00:00Simon, you obviously know your way round Mancheste...Simon, you obviously know your way round Manchester. Others have written on blogs about wandering around North Manchester looking for the place.<br /><br />As a Mancunian living in Stockport, I cannot claim to be that familiar with the area, for outsiders it's even more of a challenge.<br /><br />Of the dozen people I know who stopped going after the move, most are from Manchester. I know the CIS opposite Victoria station became unavailable but since then SIBA have held a couple of beer festivals, one opposite Oxford Road station and the other a stone's throw from Piccadilly.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310220100267028274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-13503933232783702282012-01-21T22:05:21.529+00:002012-01-21T22:05:21.529+00:00Yeah, it was a bitch to find.

Three minutes on a bus to right outside the venue.<br /><br />As much as I want it to be in Derby - twenty-three quid more I can spend on beer rather than trains - I have the sneaking feeling that a little bit of the passion will be lost. There's good people involved at the moment. I'd hate to see that lost.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387325466589229898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-44256119945305681582012-01-20T18:15:35.247+00:002012-01-20T18:15:35.247+00:00I'm a CAMRA member and I used to go every year...I'm a CAMRA member and I used to go every year when it was in Manchester city centre. I haven't bothered since the move up Oldham Road. Off the top of my head, I know about a dozen people who haven't been since either.
