try this one, premier inn manchester city centre ( deansgate locks )medlock street m15 5fj. 1 double room b&b, free car parking, 5 minutes walk to BH,£115.50.

I got The Rams Lodge through Laterooms, £46 for a double room!! Bargain!

Thanks for the tip, money is tight but I couldn't stay in somewhere called the Ram's Lodge, I would never be able to wash the stain from my football soul.

Thanks Colin, travelling from Brum and a Blue badge holder, so a car park is a big plus, and not too far for a slow walk to the Concert Hall. All booked up at the Premier Inn Deansgate Locks, in fact decided to go Friday night and stop for 2 nights and make a weekend of it. Would be nice to think there may be some others fans there on Friday too and maybe tie up in the bar on the night
Nearly forgot to say thanks Jimbo for trying anyway!

that is sound paul, me and her will be arriving about 12-ish on saturday. hopefully we might catch up with you.

Ah well, for me Steve Harley comes well before football!
