Metrolink to / from Etihad

The only consolation for me is that the metro outside Old Trafford Cricket Ground is no quicker.

Even after being kept inside the ground for 30 minutes the other week, it was still at least another 40 minutes before I boarded the tram

That may be because all the stacked trams had been used to remove the vermin. Trust me at the cricket ground they are lined up ready for the final whistle (and 15 minutes before)

After the world cup final in 2013 it was still rammed 1.5 hrs after the game, I had a torn a tendon so went to the quadrant and came back after an hour and still had to wait 30mins. They also would not let people off the platform who wanted to leave, it was bizarre.

But the Rags have a choice of four different metro lines with stations at Old Trafford, Wharfside, Trafford Bar, and Exchange Quay so the service is much better than the Etihad. There are also multiple other stations they can use on those four separate lines.

I can only assume that was a one off and why they would kettle you I have no idea.
I have posted before but occasionally I have taken a disabled person, Chelsea being the highest profile match, I have never had a problem. Re Chelsea as we approached I saw a tram leave so thought I would be there for ages, nope as soon as it pulled out another arrived with one behind it clearly in view.
We are treated far differently with no explanation.

When they use the turnstiles there is no way of getting out until they stop using them as they only work one way.
