Metrolink to / from Etihad

[Gingers Dad]

Anyone know if the Altrincham trams are going straight through to the ground tonight?

Quick google suggests it’ll be £40 upwards. Last time I used a taxi to Mcr city centre from Radcliffe cost me £20 for 6 miles, and that was 5 or 6 yrs ago. Got to be £30 now.

Just put in to uber and it was £21 to Piccadilly Gardens.

Appreciate your reply. Wasn't even aware there was a tram and train service.
Googled a taxi service and its coming up with 60 odd quid
Seems expensive but if we have to pay....
Rather throw 50 pound at someone on here who's happy to come pick us up haha.

Is your grandson toilet trained?

The black cabs in the ranks / from the desk at the airport are very expensive but you can book your own private hire taxi for a fraction of the black cab prices.

Much better again tonight. Direct trams to the Etihad from Altrincham and there seems to be generally more trams heading to Ashton which meant no mass pile ons at piccadilly and piccadilly Gardens.

They must be pulling out all the stops to impress our German visitors.
Aftermatch could be interesting.

All trams to Ashton were stopped tonight after some poor guy appeared to have a heart attack, hope he's ok,

Yes we were on that tram and didn’t look very good for the poor guy.

How busy does the park and ride get at Ashton Moss on a match day?. I usually get the train from Stockport then the tram from Piccadily however due to the strikes on SatI am thinking of doing the 20 min drive to Ashton then getting the tram from there but would be screwed if I got there and couldn't park.

My advice is get there early as surely loads of Burnleyites will be thinking the same, it's an easy route for them straight down the M66/60. The rest will be packing out the X43 and X41 buses or by pony and trap.

Did anyone see those nobhead Barnsley fans on the tram to town after the match givin it Billy big bollocks “Manchester’s a shit hole I wanna go home” etc? What the fuck a load of Barnsley fans were doing at the match is beyond me. And them singing Manchester’s a shithole, how ironic!!
