So DD has bought concert tickets for a concert at the O2 Apollo. We're staying at the Premier Inn on Portland Street. It's a 1.2 mile walk from the venue, according to Google maps.

Question is... will it be dodgy walking there at 10.30/11pm? I don't know Manchester at all?

Thanks

No it won't. It will still be very busy all over town.

Thanks @Janeaustenrocks

That's what DD said but I'm old and cautious 😬

You'll be walking into town with 100s of others who've been to the Apollo!

Agreed, it's still bustling at that time IME.

Have done that exact walk several times after a gig and it's fine. And I'm overly cautious!

IBlameTheDog · 12/10/2024 12:09

Phew!

Thanks everyone. I feel much better now!

Few minutes walk down the busy main road with 100s of others or get a bus. Google maps

I worked at the apollo and walked that way most Friday/ Saturday nights for almost a year with no issues ( and I left later so not going with the crowd)
Yes there are drunks around and a few idiots but there is also usually a high police presence so idiots are stopped very quickly.

As long as she takes the usual sensible precautions she will be fine.

Noesy now , who is she going to see ?

Almost embarrassed to admit that it's her and me and I'm worrying about us both 🫣

We're seeing Conan Gray and I can't wait!!!! 50th birthday present from her to me 🥰
