Moss Side to Manchester Piccadilly
Having walked back or get a taxi, you should be back after the match by 21:45.
There is basically one possibly journey home.
Leave Moss Side: 22:19
Arrive Preston: 22:36
Leave: 22:47
Arrive Manchester Piccadilly: 23:44
By coach
There is no official coach.
Because of the ground's rural location, the only way you could go by coach is to go from Chorlton Street to Preston Bus Station, then take a 10-minute walk to Preston Train Station and go onwards by train (see above).
This option makes no sense though, as there are no return coaches and a one-way coach fare plus train fare is cheaper than the train fare of the above journey.

Pubs
The obvious choice is the Birley Arms Hotel (pictured right), which is right next to the ground, but the inside has been reserved for 'matchday sponsors'
But the staff are putting up a marquee outside big enough for 120 guests. The locals won't mind reds drinking there and it should be a laidback affair - just don't expect super-quick service at the bar.
A 10-minute walk away on Lytham Road (walk down Church Road and turn left) is the Pickwick Tavern (pictured left), which is smaller but will be much less crowded. We definitely recommend it if you're driving to the game.
Alternatively, a bit further on down Lytham Road is The Plough Inn (pictured right), which will be even quieter, but could be a good meeting point. These two boozers are pretty far from the train station though.

"Rome Episodes" has become an actual TV show. This TV show is mostly fictional, but it incorporates historical characters like Caesar, Pompey, Cato, Mark Anthony, and Atia, the most of Octavian, soon to become Rome's first emperor, Augustus. It is a time when the Roman Republic is corrupt, and high-ranking Romans like Julius Caesar and Pompey fight for power. The historical events in Rome are told thru the eyes of Vorenus and Pollo.
