Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Here’s a weird one. Went into town today with my wife to look at the 1921 census at Central Library.

Got the tram from Altrincham at 10:10am and after a short delay at OT for driver change over we set off for St, Peter’s Square. Over the course of that short journey (4 stops) there were at least 16 trams heading in the opposite direction 6 of them going to Altrincham and most of them double units.

Why can’t they do that on match days?

They do it on purpose to make it as difficult as possible for city fans to get to games it’s like they start work in the roads just as the season starts not close season!

Why someone at city don’t bring it up with the council I don’t know.
 
Whilst we’re on the subject of the Etihad’s exterior.

The arse end of Old Trafford that nobody ever see’s. (the biggest football club in the world?)

And what the Glazer’s have to overcome to expand the main stand.

There was a major blockage of trams in the city centre today, they were just playing catch up...
 
Given that 90 per cent of us are told we are supposed to come from Stockport, hard to understand why there isn’t any good public transport between the two?

there is good public transport. There’s a direct train to Manchester which is about 7 minutes and buses straight into town every few minutes.

no idea how it’s taking him that long. Must live at the very edge of Stockport

I saw that. Massive line up of trams running towards Victoria station with loads of cars caught up in traffic jams.
