Dont want to ruin TK,s excellent all our yesterdays thread

Here is a question related to it ........ a GOLD STAR for the correct answer Steve Knowles your excluded mate



Q

We all know the bridgy runs directly behind M.U.F.C. Old Trafford Stadium (dump )
But which canal runs directly behind M.C.F.C. City of Manchester Stadium (Middle Eastlands )

The one full of city fans

The one full of city fans  

There were a few Villa fans chucked in it the other week drynet




Wrong answer btw

Not a clue Dodge,

Sankey Canal at a guess.

Are day tickets over a million quid?

The ship on the MCFC badge refers to the Manchester Ship Canal. Failing that, its the The Mersey–Irwell Canal or the Manchester & Ashton-under-Lyne Canal. Bet its full of shopping trolleys and torn up MCFC tickets!

Manchester & Ashton-under-Lyne Canal. Bet its full of shopping trolleys and torn up MCFC tickets!

Well done Jon


Another Gold Star for you


The canal which runs behind The City Of Manchester Stadium is commonly known as The Ashton Canal The Rochdale canal which is around a quarter of a mile away runs parallel with it ....... both canals end in Manchester city center

No probs Dodge - just trying to stimulate a bit of banter as well as have a nostalgia trip

Keep the questions and topics coming - the more input/comment/chat on the forum the better and of interest and 'entertainment' value to the members Dodge

That sounds very much like the Bridgewater Canal at Sale / Timperley Joff    an upmarket suberb in south Manchester      


The Ashton Canal is in the north east shameless territory of Manchester     

Your a brave bunch if you had a chuck there mate
