    This hotel is round corner from MEN arena - just booked it for £29. Has parking and is handy for Deansgate pubs and the Arena.

    OR

    There's one in Ancoats, an area of town between the Arena and Piccadilly train station. Its only £19 a room No parking. Noisy / busy / semi-dodgy part of city centre.

    We'll probably drive and go home the same night... I'd have to talk to Dave about it.

    We'll be up for drinks before hand though :mrgreen:

    I'm kinda tempted by the 4am bus to london, but only 4 hours sleep on a bus might be a bit of a killer. I don't want to be a zombie at the O2 :(

    You won't be massivle inconvenienced by it. Trains to the airport go from Piccadilly. It's only a 15 min walk across to Piccadilly from around the area of the hotel, and there's a tram system connecting Victoria (adjacent to the MEN) and Piccadilly if you have heavy bags.

    Quick question, I was in my 3 month grace period for my membership and it wouldn't let me buy. I have renewed and I have just bought a pair, as my expiration date was March 29 2009, it has gone to March 29 2010, this mean its all good?

    Would have thought so. Try it and see what happens, if not, contact Ten Club.

    In for Manchester and London, never been to the MEN Arena. Just in the process of sorting out hostels.

    After I renewed it let me buy them, I have the confirmation email and they are in my profile, you reckon I still need to ask them?
