The stadium currently holds 52,600 and a small proportion use the tram.Doesn't matter, what ended up happening was a stadium full of 55,000 people and another full with 23,000 people all converged on a tram system that can fit about 50 people on each one. Do City and the COOP Live not talk to eachother?
Not everyone is as fit as you obviouslyThe stadium currently holds 52,600 and a small proportion use the tram.
I walk through St Peters Sq on my way home and I see loads of fans getting off the tram. Why are they using a tram to make a walk of 25 minutes when the timetable is 1/12 minutes?
How are you getting to st Peter's square in 25 mins? Insane speed, could use you in our midfieldThe stadium currently holds 52,600 and a small proportion use the tram.

Could have played last Tuesday,like our fixture before the semi finalwas brought forward .Same would have done for Palace v Wolves.We should have played another night, Wednesday was out due to UEFA ....or was it? but, we should have played this if that's the case on Thursday.
Because like most folk that walk they give you a time nowhere near the actual time it takes.lol.How are you getting to st Peter's square in 25 mins? Insane speed, could use you in our midfield
good job there wasnt any precipitation like most manchester weatherProper weird one last night, loads of people literally wrestling with the stewards trying to turn left out the arena towards the trams because they made them walk to the main road and back around again. The crowd at the arena will be a lot of none Mancunians, probably worth telling them before the gig its quicker to walk back into town than use that shower of shit. Especially if they are forced to the back of the queue behind the football fans.

They have to consider their punters and that includes pedestrian and vehicular chaos when events at adjacent venues finish at the same time.Ask
Ask SKY in this case.
But neither venue needs to consider what's going on elsewhere, they have there own priorities
The main issue at play though is the fact that you get 1 single tram every 15 minutes. If that was any other major City in Europe, you'd be getting a double every 2 or 3 mins until it had been cleared.
Maybe I’m just missing them, but to me the majority of trams on the way to the ground are singles, based on my experience of waiting in St Peter’s square and never being able to get on one.It isn’t perfect but that really isn’t true is it?
The vast majority are doubles on a match day. And you might occasionally have to wait 15 minutes but the average time between trams before or after a game is a lot less than that.
It will never work properly until the tramlines extend to Bredbury/Stockport, and we have more people travelling the other way rather than back to Piccadilly and then a train to Bredbury/Stockport.
Too simple and won't happen unfortunately.

I got to Cornbrook around 1130 to be met with 2 optionsProper weird one last night, loads of people literally wrestling with the stewards trying to turn left out the arena towards the trams because they made them walk to the main road and back around again.

I left work at 5 and trams were only running to Trafford bar from deansgate. Think there was a signal failure or something.I got to Cornbrook around 1130 to be met with 2 options
1 Trafford Bar
2 Trafford Bar
which made no sense when there were so many concert goers wanting to get to their hotels around the swamp and Salford Quays - so I was like the pied piper directing people where to go
What was even stranger was many were saying it wasn't like this the last time i.e. they could all get to Salford Quays which is why they had booked the same hotels - may be this weeks works experience had been given at shot at timetabling!
Cheers, nice of them to let people know as some were just going to wait and waitI left work at 5 and trams were only running to Trafford bar from deansgate. Think there was a signal failure or something.
They would be if they walked a bit more :’)Not everyone is as fit as you obviously
