Metrolink to / from Etihad

Barry Manilow on the 19th May,last day of the season.
That will be interesting on the trams that day
I worked at Piccadilly box office years ago and I reckon 2/3 to 3/4 of the bookings were from people living in prestwich so the bury trams are likely to be hammered.

That guy's shifted some records over the years.
 
Never understood the appeal of him, bland songs and not that great a voice. Must be a ‘ladies’ thing.
Definitely, flew from Philadelphia to Vegas one time & 100 ‘females’ from his UK fan club packed the flight after connecting from Manchester, after the first 15 renditions of ‘Mandy’ I was desperate for an ejector seat over Kansas City
 
Closing down even part of Clayton Hall is just plain stupid from Metrolink. Anything that helps to spread the dangerous overloading of the platforms at the Etihad post-match has to be a good thing. The service is already very poor and none of the tram information displays can be believed; closing stations is Metrolink management giving up.

It's quite a contrast with the Rags. For them, there is a Metrolink Matchday Season Ticket (not that it gains anyone anything), with a reminder that it can be used at any of the FIVE tram stops deemed to support their matches. None of the five stops have any enforced closures on matchdays and trams stop at all of them all of the time. There's none of this 'Holt Town, Velopark and Clayton Hall are closed' nonsense.

With the parking zone extensions as well, which are much more comprehensive than Trafford Council's around the Rags, I think that we all get Burnham's message.
 
Sounds like someone messed up. To be fair, I can understand closing stops before the stadium to avoid trams filling before they get to the stadium. However, that's not what you're describing.

This from tfgm's own website...


Tram

In order to safely manage crowds post-match, Holt Town, Velopark and Clayton Hall (towards the city centre) stops will be closed.

You can still get on the tram at the Etihad Campus stop, and Clayton Hall (towards Ashton) will remain open.
