I’d suggest parking a bit further away. I park near ashburys train station for free and get out no problem.

I walked into Town after the game today, after Thursday night being stood on the platform for 25 minutes before a Met turned up.
Why is there such a bit gap between Mets turning up and heading into the Town? Aren’t Mets supposed to be every 12 minutes?
Service is so inconsistent… that only comes from poor organisation.

For those complaining about single tram service on the way to the ground today it was just as shit on the single tram service on the way home.
Will give those sides a go next time, cheers. Usually go near the cemetery or past towards Bank Street if we drive, but with the earlier kick off we were cutting a bit fine today and all the usual spots were rammed so Asda was last ditch. Home now thankfully!I’d suggest parking a bit further away. I park near ashburys train station for free and get out no problem.

After a long wait at the Etihad the return journey was better, even an empty double unit from Piccadilly back to Altrincham. Doesn’t excuse this organisations incompetence and lack of regard for their customers.For those complaining about single tram service on the way to the ground today it was just as shit on the single tram service on the way home.
Metrolink are not fit for purpose.

Young girl on my overcrowded single unit from Altrincham actually fainted in the crush and had to leave the tram at Warwick Road (Old Toilet). Will they wait until a fatality before they start running the organisation in a professional manner?If you’d like to take it direct, you can message Danny, the head of Metrolink, via LinkedIn:
Today was dangerous and an absolute fucking joke. There has to be answers.

I agree 100% stop criticising your customers and sort out the problems we, the fans, have been banging on about for years.This should be the club's job. They need to ensure that there are sufficient methods of transport to get 55,000 people to and from the match.

I didn’t think you could park on Asda on match days?Wish I’d got the tram now - still stuck on the car park at Asda!
You can’t expect the club to sort out problems with public transport! The council chose the site of our stadium, designed the transport infrastructure, and gets all the government funding and statutory powers to run it.I agree 100% stop criticising your customers and sort out the problems we, the fans, have been banging on about for years.
All the club can do is say to them that they’d like a better setup, but in that the club is in the same position as the rest of us.
Yes, and it's the best place to get it from going to the Etihad.Going to have to use the tram on Friday from Media City.Dreading it.
Is there one straight to the Etihad on match day.

Do Metrolink run single trams on the Altrincham line when the Rags are at home?
And do they run as infrequently as they do for City home games ie do Rag fans wait on the platform at the Cricket ground for 25 mins for a tram?
