No buses to Etihad tonight

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Stagecoach say there will be buses

 

[Gray]

Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the Etihad. And God said “let there be buses”, and there were buses.

Double decker bus so nearer £200, should be able to make 5 journeys in couple of hours before game so not bad money (£1,000) in a relatively short period of time.

They do 2 maybe 3 trips before, and one after the game. 96 on a bus including standing I think it is.

The major issue with Ashburys for people that struggle to walk is that there are about 50 steepish steps to get to the platform.

So I understand. It's very frustrating that the stadium is surrounded by rail lines and there are no decent stations under 1 mile away.

I wonder if City could get some more of the shuttles they use on Joe Mercer Way to help disabled fans from Piccadilly

Ludicrous isn’t it. I hope people didn’t get stuck on Mancunian way and Regents Road with the problems there. Absolute nightmare with one lane closed due to resurfacing.

So some are moaning because the roads haven’t been resurfaced and others are moaning because they are being resurfaced? The City Council can’t win on that issue?

I walked back from the ground last Wednesday and I will be walking back tonight.

Errm when did the season start and how long were fans barred and how long were the roads virtually empty?

So the City Council has to schedule its whole road resurfacing programme around when football matches are on and when they are open for supporters?

If only the City Council had enough cash to undertake all its road projects during the lockdown? It doesn’t work out like that.

In a previous life, I was involved in the maintenance and resurfacing of highways as a Councillor and Committee Chair/Deputy in a large West Midlands Metropolitan Council. I can assure you that once or twice every two weeks football matches will not be a major issue in the scheduling of road maintenance and reconstruction. These will be driven by budgetary considerations and largely as dictated by Central Government.

Errr and was the country in lockdown and people asked, nay forced, to stay at home unless they were ESSENTIAL workers. Road maintenance people were not classed as essential I would assume!
