Metro Tram stop at COMS - Etihad

[squirtyflower]

Getting there on it will be OK can you imagine the crush post match

I hope there will be one

Good excuse to have a pint whilst it subsides

Need more beer outlets in City Square though otherwise the beer queue will be longer than the one for the tram.

They're usually on the button in City Square after the game, loads have left so early it's easy to get a pint

No worse than getting on a bus. Infact, most I know will still be getting on a bus so getting on the tram should be a breeze :)

and of course if you leave 15 minutes early it will be a doddle.

Just make sure that you pick your moment so as not to upset the hardcore.

I never understand if you're young and fit enough to walk it back to town post match the huge crush for the buses and guessing it will be same for the trams once they eventually start running. In the time it takes to get a bus and for it trundle into the traffic up to Piccadilly you can be at the bar somewhere in the Northern Quarter supping a pint.

Just realised this ..........
"With the long awaited Tram stop due to be open soon close to CitySquare, how do you think it will affect your matchday routine (if at all), and what if any effect do you think it will have on the pubs in the area?"

was first posted on Feb 24th. Someone is taking the piss. I know the council lied to get the Commenwealth Games but it is over a year since it was supposed to be open.

Unless of course you're one of the many heading in the direction of Ashton ?

I'm old and not fit enough but walk back to the crown and anchor quicker than the bus gets me there these days

Yeah, obviously that's different but you see loads waiting for a bus just to go back to town. It's only about 1.5 miles!
