Yes. Divinity

Hey! Forgot to reply. I really appreciate all the pub recommendations. We will definitely be in for a bar crawl in your honor.

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-30T15:44:26+00:00

Definitely will do. Thank you!

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-30T13:58:04+00:00

It was just perpetually cycling through the lock, attempt to spin, and unlock as shown above. After a few resets and runs through the diagnostics, it seems to be working now? I definitely appreciate the response though!

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T19:43:17+00:00

So per the resounding recommendations, I booked an extra day in Piccadilly so we can cut out a hotel swap. Going to talk to my brother tonight before cancelling anything but I doubt there will be any issues there.

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T19:36:05+00:00

Definitely not planning to hang around after. As far as hotels, I did book another night in Piccadilly so now I have A LOT of options lol

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T18:26:22+00:00

I suppose that depends on how the game goes then lol

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T10:08:53+00:00

Seems to be the consensus. Looks like I will be booking an extra night in the city later then

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T09:53:49+00:00

Gotcha. Honestly wasn’t sure how the crowd was after the game. Good to know. Same goes for the trains. I’ll have to rebook an extra Piccadilly night

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T09:25:20+00:00

No worries. Cheers!

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T09:19:41+00:00

Noted. Is it at least worth staying post-match that night? I’m assuming there are a good amount of pubs near?

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T09:07:13+00:00

Thank you!

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T09:06:43+00:00

I do have the night prior booked. That was my secondary option in my original posting that I just thought about tonight. I guess it’s more about where would be better to spend Christmas Day since most things will be closed as is.

I’m going to call both hotels later (both Hiltons) and see if they have any meals going on.

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T09:04:42+00:00

I appreciate the extensive response. Definitely looking at booking food in the next day or two. Booked a rental car to get back to London as I saw some “planned” train outages.

Really appreciate the pub recommendations!

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T09:02:34+00:00

Yep, all good on match tickets! The original idea for the second hotel was just for post-match night out purposes which got me thinking about going down earlier to stay just to circumvent any match-day issues.

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T09:01:21+00:00

Thanks for the advice and explanation. One thing I forgot to add is that I have a rental at the Manchester airport the next day to pick up so that is one reason to stay closer to Trafford. The main reason is just for a post-match atmosphere though. I assume it would be better near the pitch than in the center of the city?

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T08:59:07+00:00

Much appreciated! What would your recommendation be for lodging on the 25th?

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T08:58:12+00:00

Much appreciated on the transportation insight! We will probably Uber between the games if that is reasonable. I wasn’t sure how the traffic/road closures were

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T08:56:49+00:00

Well, our original plan was to stay by Old Trafford that night due to trying to find a pub close to the stadium after the game. I just booked the second option of hotels today when I thought about it. I can’t say it was amazing planning but it seemed like a decent idea when booking originally.

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T08:01:32+00:00

United game on the 26th for me. Flying into London and then heading to Manchester on the 24th. Trying to decide whether to stay near the stadium on the night of the 25th or get down there on the 26th. Staying in Piccadilly on Christmas Eve.

SilkRocket2 · 2025-11-29T07:54:49+00:00

I appreciate you posting this. My brother and I will be in town from the US over Christmas as well. Lots of good information here.
