MANCHESTER CITY HOME SHIRT 2005/2006

Advantages: STYLISH YET SIMILAR COLOURS TO OLD SHIRTS - QUALITY PRODUCTION
Disadvantages: MAN CITY BADGE OF LEFT HAND SIDE CAN IRRITATE THE LEFT NIPPLE

...As an avid Manchester City supporter from as far as I can remember I have owned every seasons home shirt and even picked up a few away shirts en route. The only problem I could find with this shirt is on the inside left hand side of the shirt - the back of the badge which irritates the nipple when running or jogging or imitating your favourite City players. The shirt has a sleek round neck design with white and black bands around the shoulder area. The front and back of the shirt has a small detail to it which makes it stand out but I must admit it stands out more when your outside in the wet. It can also been seen up close when you get your shirt out of the washing machine as its machine washable also after that muddy days football! Another small problem I occured with the shirt although this is not the manufacturers fault as I...

Review of Reebok Manchester City Home Football Shirt

Football shirts in general!

Advantages: Last years kit but only £10!
Disadvantages: Not the newest kit!

...Football kits are something every fan wants but not all fans can afford. At the moment the new home and away kits for most premiership clubs are going to set you back near to £40! This is an insane amount as we all know. However year after year we continue to pay it! WHY Im not sure why we feel the need to have the "New" kit every season. Im not sure why clubs insist on updating their kits most season. The differences are often minimal! I guess its just a way of supporting your kit. Wearing a new kit says to others "Yeah! I love City!". I suppose this is a case of each to their own. I however never buy the new kit. At the start of each season I get myself on Ebay and buy the kit from last year. I have recently bought Manchester City's away kit. I did the same thing with the away kit from the season before which just happens...

City Inn Manchester

Advantages: Location, service, food
Disadvantages: Small rooms

...I have been a regular to this hotel over the past two years and I have never been disappointed. The hotel is conviently located across from the main train station and only a 2 minute walk to the centre of the city - Piccadilly Gardens. The staff have always been helpful through my stays. The decor is contemporary and the rooms are finished to a high standard. Every room comes equiped with an Apple desktop computer with free internet acess - a nice touch. Fixture and fitting are all of a high spec and clean throughout. My only grip perhaps is that all the rooms are quite small. The hotel bar is again contemporary in style, but is comfortable and has a good number of guests in the evenings. Breakfast was of a high standard with excellent service and a great selection of hot and cold foods. All in all, a great place to stay!...

Our Days in Manchester

Advantages: Clean, comfortable, good food, handy for the hospital
Disadvantages: We had one or two problems - see review

...As those of you who have been reading my 'about me' information will know, we have recently had to stay in Manchester to be near my mom who had to go into Manchester Royal Infirmary for an operation, which never happened as she wasn't strong enough to survive the anaesthetic but that's another story. As I had a lot of arrangements to make Dave decided to take over and find us a suitable hotel for the duration. He wanted to find something really nice but at a reasonable price as this was likely to be the nearest either of us would get to a holiday this year as I am full time carer to mom who has dementia. Anyway after much searching he finally found The Days Hotel at the end of Sackville Street nearest to the Mancunian Way and thus nearest to the Manchester Royal Infirmary. *** The Booking *** We decided to book a Work Zone...

Don't waste your £ on the luxury rooms - Crowne Plaza Manchester

Advantages: Location. New and modern
Disadvantages: Awful club level package. Decor not to everyones taste.

...Owing to the recession the hotel industry has been one of the hardest hit areas and as such, we have seen some of the most excellent deals come out as room rates drop back to prices charged in the 1990?s. Staying in the UK for the summer I decided to take advantage of some of these rates and looked into the special offers available from Crowne Plaza. As a treat for myself and the other half, I decided we would go to Manchester for the weekend. It is a city I haven?t really explored much before and thought it would be a good weekend trip. I had seen the newly opened Crowne Plaza on this years Apprentice and the hotel and rooms looked very modern and stylish and when I saw the promotional prices I thought why the hell not and off we went. Booking I booked my two night stay at www.crowneplaza.co.uk As a member of their priority club...

Get a City Card if you live in Manchester

Advantages: Great product, easy to use and good value for money
Disadvantages: only usable in Manchester

...As a relative newcomer to Manchester in recent months, I was extremely happy to find out about the City Card scheme from a work mate. We were meeting clients for lunch in the city centre, and he passed me the City Card membership guide and asked me to book a restaurant of my choice from the list. When I asked him what it was all about he revealed that you use the City Card to get discounts at restaurants around the city. Upon further investigation on the website I noticed that there were many other benefits included in the membership including the following @Bar offers (normally 25-50% range, or two for one on drinks / food etc) @Cinema, comedy and theatre tickets at 2 for price of 1 @Upto £10 per month off gym membership at several good health clubs around town @25-50% off at some really good salons and health spas...

Review of City Card Manchester

Good budget hotel minutes from Manchester City Centre

Advantages: cheap, clean, friendly
Disadvantages: No frills, a 15-minute walk from the city centre

...Last year I was asked to sort a block booking for a political conference on a very tight budget. Finding a hotel in Manchester for less than £70 a night proved an almost impossible task. Even the pubs charged more. The only option was the Stay Inn, on the northern edge of the city centre. I was not expecting much as I'd read some pretty begative reviews on the internet but as it turned out they were both unfair and inaccurate. Let's deal with the negatives first. The hotel's location, a good 15 minute walk from Deansgate, means you have to be fairly fit and able-bodied to take advantage of its proximity to town. After dark, you'll probably need a tax which is £5 or so from Albert Square. The area is not exactly posh but the goood news is it is rapidly getting better as a result of the new housing...

More than just shirts...

Advantages: easy to use website, good quality clothes
Disadvantages: may not be in everybody's price range

...Charles Tyrwhitt was a brand of shirt maker I first came across in the mid 1990s, when they started advertising in The Times, and I remember sending off for a catalogue. Unfortunately my budget back then didn't run to Charles Tyrwhitt shirts - now they form a very substantial part of my wardrobe - and as I travel a lot for business I am always needing business shirts. It was in 2004 that I rediscovered them, this time online under the guise of www.ctshirts.co.uk, when I needed a lot of business shirts. I have always been somewhat sceptical about buying clothes online - I have had some purchases on Haburi which I have never worn because they just didn't suit me when I put them on. Other shops have claimed to have stock and then conceded they don't - with Charles Tyrwhitt such a fear is allayed. Having a "businessman" figure - i.e. my...

man united away shirt 06/07

Advantages: YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE JEALOUS OF YOU!
Disadvantages: none

...The 06/07 manchester united shit is a sleek, stylish design which is very lightweight and confortable. While you are running around playing football you will feel like a true football player with this shirt, you will be the envy of the school, your friends will be jealous. Were wondering what aig is while i was talking to you? well anyway it stands for American International Group, an American insurance corporation. in case i didnt mention i own this shirt and find it very confortable and fun to play in. the gold rim around your neck does not rub around your neck. In most t-shirts it rubs around my neck but for some reason this had no effect i wore it for about 3 hours for 3 times a week because thats how many times i have football, and i didnt itch one little bit so there you have it a shirt that has everything from confort to...

Review of Nike Manchester United Away Football Shirt

Super hotel in the heart of Manchester

Advantages: Location, staff, nice rooms
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I have had the pleasure of staying here on business on several occasions. My mother?s family come from Manchester so I always really enjoy visiting Manchester. About the hotel: The Arora Manchester is a four star hotel with over 140 bedrooms. It?s part owned by Cliff Richard and there are even five special Cliff bedrooms decorated with his memorabilia if you like that kind of thing! The location on Princess Street is also excellent as you are in the city centre and only 10 minutes walk from Piccadilly station if you arrive by train. It?s also about a 20-minute journey from the airport, which is also very convenient. The hotel doesn?t have it?s own car park but apparently guests can use the nearby NCP to park at a discounted rate. First Impressions: It?s an old fashioned looking building but it also looks quite grand. It is also...
