Alright. Just booked myself a day trip to Manchester for the Watford match. I'll be visiting Dublin for the weekend but couldn't pass up the chance to go to Old Trafford. Here is the plan:

• 8AM - 9AM Dublin to Nottingham
• 9:30AM - 12:30PM Nottingham to Manchester (My cousin is picking me up and taking me to Manchester)
• 12:30 - 2:30PM Sam Platts or Bishops Blaize for pre match drinks
• 3PM - 4:50PM Old Trafford
• 4:55PM - Grab the first or second (likely second) train from Old Trafford Station to Manchester Piccadilly. I know the train schedule is released a fee days before the match so I am hoping to be in Piccadilly by 6pm latest.
• 6PM - 6:45PM - Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport
• 7:30 PM - Gate closes and flight departs back to Dublin by 8pm.

Any thoughts on this? When I get into Manchester I plan on stopping by a train station and grabbing a day ticket so I can switch trains at Piccadilly quickly. From my understanding the platform that takes you to Manchester airport is directly across from the train that arrives from Old Trafford Station. I am also going to add fast track from ryanair to my ticket. Given I don't have any bags I am hoping the security won't take long. I am sitting in the West Stand above the Stretty so unless we are winning by at least 2 goals I don't think I will be able to catch the first train. Either way, the sooner I get to Piccadilly the better. If the queue outside of Old Trafford is crazy long I plan on walking a bit away from the stadium towards the tesco on chester road and just calling an uber to the airport.

Also anyone know if the Munich memorial will be on that day? It will be our first home match after Feb 6th. Thanks guys!
