IT bloke by trade, Levenshulme lifer by choice. These are the grounds, pools and tracks I've actually turned up to, not just driven past on the way to the curry mile. No glory hunting here, just honest venues and honest opinions.

Sports grounds worth the bus fare — 3 items
Name	Venue	Address	City	Sport	My take
1Etihad Stadium	Etihad Stadium	Etihad Campus, Ashton New Road, Manchester, M11 3FF	Manchester	Football	Bit soulless compared to the old ground stories my dad tells, but the noise still rattles your ribs on a European night.
2Old Trafford Cricket Ground	Old Trafford Cricket Ground	Talbot Road, Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 0PX	Manchester	Cricket	A full day here with a pork pie and a warm can is as close to meditation as I get.
3Manchester Aquatics Centre	Manchester Aquatics Centre	2 Booth Street East, Ardwick, Manchester, M13 9SS	Manchester	Swimming	I go to swim lengths, I leave having watched some teenager do things to a diving board that shouldn't be legal.
