[QUOTE=radioactive;21878301]No, Barburrito.[/QUOTE] I showed you that place! Might go btw, with Radioactive
I agree, trafford center is pefect.
Okay, let's compare: [IMG]http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m261/coolcorky/yorkmap.png[/IMG] [u]City area:[/u] Manchester - Huge, sprawling, metropolitan York - Small, quaint, old-fashioned [u]Getting there:[/u] Manchester - Branched rail from WCML, also M6 from Scotland/Midlands York - On east-coast main line, relatively close to A1 [u]Proximity:[/u] Manchester - Too far South for many scotland FPers, good for lake district people York - Too far North for Midlanders (kinda), closer to Newcastle/Middlesborough/Etc. [u]A day out:[/u] Manchester - Huge, mainly chain stores and high streets York - Small enough to get around in a day [u]Sights:[/u] Manchester - Manchester Cathedral, Old Trafford York - York Minster, Castle Museum, City walls, mainly old stuff I guess it's down to where the most people would be happier going, but here's my impartial take (as best I can) on the idea.
Come to the North West, the home of me. and Hezzy. and submarines too!
[QUOTE=CoolCorky;21882459]Okay, let's compare: [u]A day out:[/u] Manchester - Huge, mainly chain stores and high streets York - Small enough to get around in a day [/QUOTE] It's not [I]that[/I] big.
I hate the drive to York. although the a59 is a nice road to travel on, the drive back is so tedious and boring.
Ok update for me If its Trafford Center I am a positive anywhere else I am negative unless its closer to Stockport.
Chester's a nice place, why not there?
No. Please somebody make a Facepunch meet up near Inverness!
[QUOTE=joshdasmif;21882768]No. Please somebody make a Facepunch meet up near Inverness![/QUOTE] Inverness is cold and Facepunch members are hot we wouldn't gel well up there.
I thought we'd decided on the Trafford centre.
[QUOTE=ZapDing;21882891]I thought we'd decided on the Trafford centre.[/QUOTE] It just remains an option. [editline]09:33PM[/editline] Although it sounds like that's where most people would prefer to go
Yeah, I'm alright with Trafford.
[QUOTE=radioactive;21883617]Yeah, I'm alright with Trafford.[/QUOTE] Fuck that, can't be arsed going all the way there. City centre is much better.
I'm not sure about trafford as there isn't a train that goes anywhere near there, centre of manchester would be much easier for a train.
[QUOTE=Viper202;21883935]I'm not sure about trafford as there isn't a train that goes anywhere near there, centre of manchester would be much easier for a train.[/QUOTE] There are special buses that go from the centre to trafford and back And buses aren't exactly bank-breaking
North of scotland = win :D
[QUOTE=Speedfalcon;21883969]North of scotland = win :D[/QUOTE] Have fun up there We meanwhile are gonna sunbathe
[QUOTE=CoolCorky;21884019]Have fun up there We meanwhile are gonna sunbathe[/QUOTE] In Manchester? This is still England. It just rains here.
I've changed my mind actually, the camp meet-up is far easier for me to attend. Sorry guys.
[QUOTE=joshdasmif;21882768]No. Please somebody make a Facepunch meet up near Inverness![/QUOTE] Woah.... I didn't expect FPers to live THAT close to me 0_0
[QUOTE=Speedfalcon;21884129]Woah.... I didn't expect FPers to live THAT close to me 0_0[/QUOTE] get a room or something we expect nothing less than 15 facepunch babies
[QUOTE=Speedfalcon;21884129]Woah.... I didn't expect FPers to live THAT close to me 0_0[/QUOTE] Neither did I :v:
If it's Manchester I'll probably come. [B]Put me down as a maybe.[/B] The Trafford Centre is a good point too, although there is much less to do there than there would be in Manchester city centre.
[b] I VOTE NORWICH MEET [/B] I would love to go there with you guys :D
[QUOTE=Mr_Sun;21884460][b] I VOTE NORWICH MEET [/B] I would love to go there with you guys :D[/QUOTE] Too close to London to be good for Northerners and I've been to Norwich and it smells funny
[QUOTE=Mr_Sun;21884460][b] I VOTE NORWICH MEET [/B] I would love to go there with you guys :D[/QUOTE] I think you're confusing the Manchester United supporters who confuse themselves as Norwich City supports with actual Norwich.
how about two meets ups? One in Manchester city center and one at the Trafford center?
That would be pointless. If we were going to have two, I would suggest Manchester and York.
