Big screens Wednesday (family friendly)

Post by cricketfieldclarets » Sun Jul 08, 2018 10:06 pm

Anyone know of anywhere with a big screen that will permit kids?

My nephew really wants to go and see it somewhere like Manchester where there will be big screen and a crowd but the only one I can find in Manchester is over 18's.

I doubt there will be anything closer than Manchester. Perhaps the one in Leeds is family friendly though?

Millennium Sq Leeds is alcohol free and looks very family friendly on the TV pics

You would think that they would put one on at Salford Quays as there is already
a big screen installed there in the square, by the TV studios.

Is this any good to you ?

Some mates took their kids to watch it at Fleetwood's training ground and said it was really good.

Spoke to someone who's been to Millenium square at Leeds and he said apart from a few hobby teenagers the atmosphere has been fairly civilised. Suppose the lack of alcohol is keeping all the idiots away.

Just looked at Castlefield. Can get 11 year old and above in so thats good. Only problem will be getting back afterwards.

May just watch it feet up at home with a curry with friends and family...
