I don't know what it takes for any sort of common sense to permeate our club at times. There was total traffic chaos all over Manchester and the trams were not running to the stadium.

Like you say, they''ll take our money, and we pay a premium these days, but they'll do jack shit to make sure we see as much of the game as possible.

I remember a couple of years ago when a hurricane was hitting Manchester. The Police were advising everyone to stay indoors but the club still wanted the game to go ahead. I don't think it was cancelled until bits of the stadium began falling off and progranmme stalls were rolling through the car park like tumbleweed!

That was Sunderland at home,we got just round the corner and they then announced it was off :/
 
All last night decision will do is convince a lot of fans not to bother with night matches going forward and will hit ticket sales. I doubt people are going to rush to buy everton cup tickets after that experience.

Luckily I went by train as I can't stand the drive to night games any more. Manchester is a mess traffic wise at the moment. How people do that every day for work I don't know.
 
  1. I was in town trying to get to the game. Gridlocked .Had to park the car up on deansgate and jump on the tram. Of course only went to Piccadilly. Walked it to Bradford road and eventually flagged a taxi. I missed 10 mins of the game. Going back for my car was bloody hard work. Big queue for the tram but finally made the platform. Where's the trams? Waited ages for a frigging tram ffs. They should have them lined up ready to board and go. Amateurs, won't be using again.
 
The trams are more trouble than they are worth and they have a knock effect that they have been prioritized over the cars in the town centre making the traffic much worse as the trams haven't taken enough cars off the roads because they don't work as transport system. I for one will never get on a tram again they are an absolute joke. Mind you I suppose the Labour council will be happy as they will use the traffic chaos to try to get congestion charging which has been their plan all along.
 
I got there on time last night but I came from work in town so just hopped on a train to ashburys and walked.

At KO the ground had as many empty seats as there were people and there were people still coming in after 30 mins of the game.

At first I thought it was horrendous ticket sales but obviously the transport delayed a load of people and some just gave up. Something's gotta give in Manchester, the transport is terrible.

Everton stand only half full too and away fans normally set off earlier so illustrated how bad it was. Good turnout from them last night but quiet as ever!

My dad said the same (I'm in 116 so couldn't see), said there was practically no one in the away to begin with, then suddenly they had all 3 tiers full.

Did the match actually sell out or was it near to doing?

There were still plenty of empty seats in the 2nd half but it looked much better than the first 20.

It really does say something you're right. And it also says something about people giving up because it's that bad.
