Whether it’s good enough is up for debate. But that statement is patently false.

ST holders can purchase a metrolink season card, £74 for adults. There's a few T&C's with it's use but basically it gets you to and from every men's home game for the season ( all comps). Added bonus is the fast track is for the metrolink season card holders, thus avoiding mile long queue.Whenever I walk past the tram after the game there is an horrendous queue but at the far end a “fast track”. Does anyone know what that is? Is it employees of the tram company?

Does it cover Altrincham and Salford Quays

Unfortunately there's a culture that runs through this country of settling for something crap due to cost and this is an example. However, if no tube system existed in London already, I'm sure they'd find the money from somewhere to build one.If they ever started building an underground system I doubt they would ever complete it. They would come across so much archeological stuff that progress would be constantly halted whilst the Universities and Museums had a good going over of the finds.
Whatever the reasons for it, it's a substandard service and network for a city the size of Manchester. it's rare I go away anywhere and find that the public transport system isn't much, much better than at home.
The whole network mate. I'm a lone ST holder so suits me. I know there's issues at times on the network and match days can be a pain, but it's good value if the tram's your mode of transport for games.Good value if you use metro.

Whole country is based around London first. No chance any other City have anything better. Personally I'd rid us of Monarchy and move the UK Republic to Birmingham, followed by a 50 year run of reverse London investment to bring the rest of UK up to their standards.
I use the bus and i have no issues with it.The whole network mate. I'm a lone ST holder so suits me. I know there's issues at times on the network and match days can be a pain, but it's good value if the tram's your mode of transport for games.
I do not use the tram only because of the queue after the match.
I will definitely look into the season on the trams.
Thank you.

I think I'm right in saying there are direct trams from Altrincham to the stadium today?
Yes. Every 15 minutes. Normal Sunday service. Have looked on the "Bee Network" app and everything on this and the Eccles to Ashton circuits seem to be double sets.

On one now from Altrincham. Waited 30 minutes and it was full before leaving. They are saying 20 minute intervals but this was longer. Standing room only. Absolutely red hot too.
