Metrolink to / from Etihad

[GaudinoMotors]

That woman is an absolute nightmare, she loves it though, think she'd do it for free.

I imagine she offers some really helpful, inciteful advice, that nobody thought of?

Abysmal service home tonight. 15/20 minute wait for a tram is ridiculous after a game. If the club want fans to stay until the end they need to work with the council to invest in transport.

The Bus service to Ashton after matches is appallingly.

And on top of that when they actually saw fit to produce an Altrincham tram the bloody thing terminated at Timperley where we all had to get off and wait for the next tram

All the trams from the Etihad were going to Media City fat lot of good that is. Got of at Piccadilly Station and waited ages for an Altrincham tram, plenty of Eccles and Media City.

As I have repeatedly stated on here Metrolink is SHIT.

There were none for 15 minutes then two in a minute. Two people on speakers one saying beware of ice and walk slowly at the top and one shouting hurry up the tram is leaving at the bottom. The first tram left - as usual looking like an Indian train on a bad day and then they let the second go half empty. We were on that literally with empty seats as they let it go straight away rather than filling it

At about 2.10pm, before the game today, Mets were all backed up from Piccadilly to Piccadilly Gardens. We were on about the third Met away and were told we’d have to get off at Piccadilly and make our own way to the Etihad because a car was on the tracks between New Islington and Holt Town.

But the Mets weren’t moving and the doors weren’t being opened and we were just stuck on the Met until 2.30pm.

Finally we got off at about 2.35pm and everyone was on a mad dash to the ground. We went past New Islington and saw no such car on the tracks, then when we got to Holt Town we still saw no such car.

Then an empty Met came through and everyone jumped on at Holt Town.

I genuinely think they were on a wind up. It’s an utterly terrible service.

Annoying thing is n’all though is that all the pubs that have closed over the years near the ground add to this issue of shit Mets because everyone is piling on them and going to the ground at the same time. If there were more pubs, there’d be more options to go and drink in and a more spread out time where people are getting to the areas around the stadium (and the same after the game).

There was a broken down taxi on the road past what was The Mitchell Arms. No idea why they didn’t just push it out of the way?

On the way to the match I got off the double tram from Altrincham at Cornbrook and joined loads of other City fans waiting for a tram to the Etihad. A minute later in came an Etihad single unit, those in charge of this dreadful public transport system need shooting.

Buses back into town there was a shortage as well.
Another disgrace that there was no buses for those that did not leave early during the match.
I had to walk into town after the match.
Better than Leicester last week but with my knees a really hard grind.

That road junction should just be shut to traffic on matchdays allowing only trams or buses. This is what happens at most other modern stadia around the world. This is what happens at Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham, Chelsea for example.
