More trams

City top brass need to get liaising with council on clearing campus big time 45 mins max......traffic lights, trams, police on junctions flowing traffic etc.

I would if I knew. Espacially as Network Rail are also playing silly buggers these days.
Buy a train ticket for a 50 minute journey home and find you have a bus that takes 2 and quarter hours.

Staying in Bolton after the Newcastle game.
Bus journey only on the Sunday getting to Wigan to catch train north
 
That type of stuff really grips my shit mate. Grown men acting like maniacs to get just in front of you when there's a thousand people still in front of them. Then the attempt to avoid eye contact as you give them the death stare.
 
When the Rags played Chelsea last season I took a disabled adult to that match (no choice !) We had to come and go on the tram. We left at full time and walked down passed the cricket ground, as you would expect there were thousands walking with us. I was dreading the queue. I saw a tram at the stop and knew, from getting them at the Eitihad there would not be abother one for ages. Bollocks, as it pulled away there was another waiting, there were no queues, I boarded the next tram and we were away.
How come the Rags can have trams lined up to ferry fans away quickly and yet we have a total lottery of when they turn up.

After the derby, it was a flat fare of £3 to town as well
 
£16.20 for three adults and a thirty minute wait to experience life as a sardine, or drive and park for free and get home 20 minutes faster. Hmm, decisions, decisions.
 
Here’s an idea..fucking walk to town you lazy bastards

I do it every game..walk from town..walk back

As for the trams being crowded..it’s a fucking football match..what are you expecting? A buffet car serving vol-au-vents?

Metrolink only has so many units and believe it or not there are other lines on the Biggest tram network in the uk..they put as many doubles as they can on that line on match day..I know..because I have to drive the bastards

There’s not much else you can do with that amount of people all leaving at the same time..as for the suggestion United get more trams..bollocks..it’s the same line..Altrincham Etihads..the Etihad is also serviced by the Ashton Eccles trams..Old Trafford by Bury Altrinchams

People are always going to be squashed in post match..like I said..if you don’t like it..walk

Another note..on the rare occasion I’ve got a tram home from the match I’ve walked to New Islington stop and caught one from there..easily squeezing on with no queue

Like I said..Lazy

Not everyone is capable of walking any length of distance, are they lazy. Gobshite.
 
How about three or four double decker busses with priority exit from the north car park taking fans to the tram at Central Park on the Vic to Oldham line?
Or those busses going down AT Way then into town along Oldham Road? They could stop at the corner of Swan Street for people wanting Piccadilly then go down Swan Street and Miller street to Victoria. There's also the possibility of busses into town along Bradford Road but that might be more of an issue as there are several busy car parks emptying onto Bradford Road.
