Are you blaming the City council for the behaviour of a few dickheads?I have two tickets but am seriously considering giving it a swerve.
Seriously pissed off now with the trials of attending games, evening or not.
How can it be that someone who lives less than 12 miles away, had to fork out £50 plus to get to and from the Everton game with my kids in tow?
Decided to leave the car at home, and use the Metro.
Took us 1hr 15mins from Timperley, including a 20-minute wait in Picadilly Gardens.
Stayed until the end, decided to get a bus across the road back into town and catch a tram from there.
Five guys old enough to know better (three blues and two Everton fans) decided to get in to it over politics and Brexit, becoming very threatening towards each other and using every foul-mouthed profanity in the book.
At this stage, with my eight year old girl at a game for the first time in a couple of years, I told them to quit it and be mindful of my wife and kids sat across from them.
Sadly, it was the dickhead 50-something Blue who continued to cause shit, fearful my family would get caught in the crossfire.
To make matters worse, every tram at Picadilly was rammed, including the pathetic single to Alty which would at least have prevented us changing at Cornbrook.
Freezing and late, we had no option but to jump in a taxi with £10 on the meter before we even set off.
Taxi - 37.50
Metro family ticket - £7.10
Bus special - £7.00
It seems car or public transport, this council couldn't give a shit how people manage to move around this city.
When they sing WWYWYWS we should respond with "Where the fuck were you last week"Port Vale crowd today 5,342, long way short of the 8k coming to the Etihad, they should be getting better crowds than that prior to our game.

Not the best and I know driving is grim but you could of paid £8 and parked 100yards away from the ground in secure parking.I have two tickets but am seriously considering giving it a swerve.

I feel your pain mate, but I travel from Cornwall, and it’s a 600+Mile round trip for me, sometimes 7+ hours dependent on comedy traffic.I have two tickets but am seriously considering giving it a swerve.

That's if Popey plays of course.Looking forward to this game. Eldest daughter (18) usually works shifts but is able to come along.
Should see a few goals.
Team: Eddie, Rodders, Ferny, Walker, Gundog, SilvaD, SilvaB, Foden, Jesus, Sterling, Mahrez. Hatricks for Jesus, Sterling, Mahrez and a pen from Eddie!
Pretty sure Ederson will be on a mid season break still and not even on the bench. Back for United.
Absolutely no way would Guardiola let his goalkeeper take a pen as a bit of a pisstakeI really wanted to see Eddie have a pen! We won't get a pen v The Rags. This could be his only chance this season!

They are just using football as a platform mate, so the coverage of a very worthy cause can reach the maximum audience, football is the perfect platform for it, especially if you consider the recent mental health issues associated with some players.....Yeah I get that, but still not really football related is it?
You've had a bet haven't you. :)

I suppose they could place council officials on all public transport to keep a check on this.
Try travelling from Edinburgh and being at the mercy of Northern Rail and TransPennineExpress!
