- Platt Fields park is nice
- any where as long as theres alot of you saftey in numbers you know
- sum where you dont no bcoz ur not wanted
- Urbis is FULL of mini moshers and goth wannabees STAY CLEAR!
- Metro stations are definetly the best, you can meet straight off the tram instead of prattering around Manchester on your own. I guess outside of Urbis is pretty popular to, if you wanna spot some people you haven't seen in years.
- sunny brow park gorton a place to chill with your mates and just hang out.top spot
- AVOID ALL THE GAY BARS IN MANCHESTER WHERE LEE BUTLER I THINK HES FROM A PLACE CALLED WEAVERAM, WEAVERHAM, WEVERSHAM IN CHESHIRE? HE WORKS IN ONE OF THE OFFICES ACROSS FROM WHERE WE WORK. HE'S HAD MANY GAY RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHTCLUBS. JUST WATCH HIM HE TAKES ADVANTAGE BY LASING YOUR DRINKS BEFORE MAKING HIS STRIKE
- Picadilly gardens absolutly buzzing place, what a great atmosphere especially in the summer sun. Can get a bit cramped with people but always space to sit on the grass or cool off in the fountain!
- Afflecks palace is pretty cool. In summer lots of us hang at picadilly square fun to play in the fountains! Quite a few parks too.
- near victoria, the little park thingy, i always meet there.
- urbis, cathedral gardens. absolutely brilliant 4 moshers, goths, sk8rs, woteva u r.
- Urbis is a good place to meet up with mates before an adventure out skatin for the day! Otherwise any big place is decent enough cos its usually easy to find! Just a note; meetin places are best if they are near bus stops or train stations (metro included) and have easy routes to the best skate spots, so piccadilly gardens usually is cool.
- The Gasworks on Witworth street near lazer quest/ the ritz. There's usually some stoners there but i dont mind.
- coming from a busy city like dublin the entire city of manchester looked empty to me .. not what i expected...
- Little Hulton shopping precinct, they are twelve, they are angery and my god they are ugly!
- The Granby Near Umist. Great place for cheap beer and to meet up.
Get out before all the Scallies and Scum surface though.
- gas works near deansgaete trainstation
full of wicked grafitti snd a trashed sign turned into halfpipe
Alwasys sk8rs in pros :)
- bus stop
- Harry Halls for bike riders, always someone hanging about there......
- Victoria station
- the triangle or piccadilly gardens
- Oldham street is the place to meet!
- Mcdonalds on oxford road.
- Piccadilly Gardens. Not yet, but soon. Have you even seen what they're doin with it? Huge big pit and a bridge, WTF!!!
- M&S! It used to be Rock World, where the black eyed-linered hung, now it's M&S. THey must be the better class of black eye-linered.
- Yes, Manchester may be the toilet bowl of England that no-one bothers to flush but
- Anywhere in Openshaw, get the 219 bus from piccadilly gardens.
- Outside the Triangle on those giant white steps has now been taken over but metla and punk adolescents
- The burnt down Pavilion in Didsbury Park. Near the burnt bins and the burnt tree
- Definetly afflex. the main steps leading up to the poster shop, past wisdom are cool.
- outside Afflecks (church street entrance) if it's quiet, but be warned, don't hang around the oldham street entrance cos it's permanently packed full of 8-year-olds with bike chains hanging from their arses. They seem to congregate outside HMV on Saturday afternoons as well. You have been warned.
- picadilly gardens is no more i must remark they are building a huge building there - how dare they get rid of it. i mena where can people go n smoke joints?, skate?, get pissed?, TELL ME ?!
- afflecks-colliseum (in northern quarter) exit & wisdom sk8 shops
- picadilly (mud pit) gardens, plenty of buses stop there, also metrotrain and close to coach/train station. bit of building work going on, don't know what the hell they doing to it.
- Afflex Palace top floor cafe for all the youngsters, but it has to be said, it has new owners who are kicking people out for not having bought anything. Fair enough really but sort of brings down it's hookup value. The rest of the places have gone, except perhaps outside the Salisbury off Oxford road on a Friday or Monday night. Korn hoodies and offspring Ts ahoy!
- Im one of those"Scallys" who hangs around on Sunnybank, and im also sick to death of those old bids who keep moving us on!!
- Picadilly Gardens on a Saturday afternoon seems to be a hook-up spot for individuals with identical Korn t-shirts.
- The fountain in Picadilly Gardens, the benches at the top of the stairs in the Coliseum, and the basement of the Coliseum.
- Piccadilly Gardens - great skateboarding spot and even better if you're on the pull!
- Best hook up spot? Affleck's! They've also got cheap band name tops at clampdown records on the second floor. Go to Affleck's, young and funky freakos!
