Ashburys is a couple of minutes closer than Piccadilly, which has 14 platforms, a metrolink connection direct to the ground and is minutes walk to buses that go to the ground. Nobody is upgrading Ashbury station certainly not City.

So instead of one tier ends, you're now going to spam random pictures of railway stations?What about doing a mix of both then, running buses to Ashbury station , upgrade the station like what Villa are doing. The Mercedes Garage site could be the hub for the shuttle buses for the Ethihad Campus
Its the same issue eveywhere with major events areana and sports grounds trains can carry more people than buses.London is lucky it has the tube

You’ve spelt massive wrong mate ;)
I’m in Ashton and not bothered about getting home early , I’d just like to get home,Has anybody on here got any real idea out of 50k fans who are that bothered about getting home early, just curious.?
Maybe safely
Maybe with options on how to travel
Maybe with something to do near the ground if the above is not possible
what is early anyway? Early for me could be late for someone else or visa Versa
Iv gratefully been picked up by my Mrs the last few years as travelling on the tram with a 9/15 year old after games was unsafe with crushing and the last straw being crushed and broke down.
there's park and ride in Ashton with access to the motorway,I'm surprised there isn't a big park and ride being set up on the tramline to Ashton or even with shuttle busses to North/South, needs to be pointing away from town though towards the M60.
Could easily service Etihad and Arena and City Center workers/visitors the rest of the time.
There just isn’t any trams to take us there after the game has finished, well not that I’d consider fit for the public to travel on and I have no idea if there are buses that go to Ashton after the game .. will be car for me untill they sort the shit show they call a transport link to Ashton
I honestly see the Ashton tram after the game so packed and think why would you want to be on that

Do you think other fans moan about their ground being a nightmare to get to? Be thankful we’re still not at Maine Road where there was zero trams, no trains, and next to zero parking. Didn’t hear anyone moan then. Now we’re in a modern stadium within walking distance of the city centre and it’s as though we play in the darkest recesses of Outer Mongolia according to some on here.
Instead, chill out, get to the ground and realise that when you’re in ANY arena which holds 50,000 + spectators it’s going to take you more than ten minutes to get away from it!

Not at all just trying to come up with ideas to solve problems @jrb is right there is a group of people on here that slag people off or criticise them. It's a forum where people can share ideas and talk about them, You could easily replied and said that not going to work, instead you go for the smart-ass comment instead.So instead of one tier ends, you're now going to spam random pictures of railway stations?
*don't shoot the messenger but there is going to be a huge underground car park including a upper one or two storey car park on this site.
If you can't be fair enough. Fully understand. Thanks for the info.
But, can you be more specific from the pictures posted?

The land around the Etihad.If you can't be fair enough. Fully understand. Thanks for the info.

"Bar the 2 back car parks, and the Collar site car park, which will eventually go*, there isn't much land around the ground to create (park and ride) car parks. Or land that is appropriate for car parking".

When i started work at the Refuge on Oxford Street in 1960 each dept, over all 3/4 floors was connected to the mailroom by suction tubes.That's a shame. Loved the idea of a hyperloop.
When I first started out in newspapers, we used to have to send the schemes and copy through a suction tube like they still do with cash in supermarkets.
