After the match I always look at both the tram and buses and think "Fuck that" if you're able bodied walking is less stressful.

Credit where it's due. The post match trams seemed to be well organised last night. Stayed til the final whistle, clapped the team off, went for a wee, and descended the CB3 spiral. The queue through the chicane moved quickly & we got straight on a special heading towards Victoria. The connecting tram from Market Street was a tad busier than normal as a JLS gig had just finished at the arena, and there was plenty of late night Xmas market punters.
For once after the PSG match they were like London Buses, three trams arrived in a short space of time. The only thing that caught a few day trippers out was that they were not taking cash at the ticket barrier, so it confused a few.
Chris, I need to know, were you one if those saying everyone should walk to Piccadilly ? I am sure those that did said it to ensure they got a seat :-)For once after the PSG match they were like London Buses, three trams arrived in a short space of time.

The other thing that caught the tourists out is that they didn't comprehend that the chicane splits in two before the ticket barriers. This allowed me & my mates to woosh through the right-hand lane with no queue. No complaints from me!For once after the PSG match they were like London Buses, three trams arrived in a short space of time.

Right hand lane is the way to go, the left hand one has the ML season ticket holders filtering in.The other thing that caught the tourists out is that they didn't comprehend that the chicane splits in two before the ticket barriers.

Yes, I've embraced the walk. Get your headphones in, get 5live or Radio Manchester on, I quite like it.After the match I always look at both the tram and buses and think "Fuck that" if you're able bodied walking is less stressful.

haha, no but I did try by saying to my mate quite loudly "are they saying the trams are cancelled?"Chris, I need to know, were you one if those saying everyone should walk to Piccadilly ? I am sure those that did said it to ensure they got a seat :-)

Whoever plans the tram schedules hates the residents of the Altrincham line and City fans in general.
Just a heads up no Altrincham trams this Sunday.

I've done it every match going back this season but I'm not sure from now on with winter kicking in.
