Metrolink to / from Etihad

[Vic]

I used to contact them regularly about the Metrolink and they completely ignored me.

They are nor really bothered about how we get there.

It looked on Wednesday that they were holding Every Street lights on red to keep the Holt Town box clear. Judging by the taxi drivers blowing horns...

Whenever I've had mine checked, they just look at the card and don't scan it or anything so you should be ok.

Tell you what, the service is getting slower.

Took 45 minutes from Martinscroft to Shudehill this morning. Longest it’s ever taken, it’s painfully slow at numerous points on the line.

I bet the average speed was about 15mph. I could have cycled it quicker but I’m on the piss so why would I cycle?

The lift was out of order today after the game. Presumably before the game as well, but I wouldn’t know that for certain.

Felt sorry for the wheelchair fans and those pushing them. It’s a right old trek all the way down the full length of the Ashton bound platform and then back again.

To be fair, it’s the first time I remember it being broke. Plenty of time until the next home game to get it fixed at least.

I walked back into town and there was an Ashton bound tram stuck in vehicular traffic on Merrill Street approaching Holt Town. Surely the useless fuckers can arrange for that bit of road to be closed for 30 to 40 minutes after the final whistle.

I noticed it wasn’t working before the game. I did wonder how disabled fans were going to get up the stairs. There was a couple of wheelchair users on the tram we were on from town.

My next trip up will include an older supporter in my group - who can't walk back to Piccadilly like I normally do - so am considering the tram. Assuming we stay for the final whistle, how long do people typically have to queue to get onto the tram after a match [need to plan ahead to hit our train departure time!]
TIA

I'd recommend the buses that park up opposite the south stand. There are usually quite a few there and even with traffic I reckon they'd get you back into Piccadilly quicker than queuing for the tram.

All depends on time of your train,what game and what part of stadium you will be sat in.

Brighton trains from nearby stations were free to the stadium for match going fans like in Germany. Just a thought.
