North Stand expansion - seating, ticketing etc

[TheGhost]

Taxis wait close to the South stand after the match. But can't move until most of the fans have stopped walking on the road.

But if you leave early enough, you can get a taxi and be back in town before the end of the match, and before the fans start coming out of the Etihad.

People queue for the buses outside the South stabd back into town whilst the match is still going on.

The club should put a line of match buses along New Viaduct St behind the athletics track and get the council to make it an after match bus only route south along Bradford Rd, Old Mill St to Store St into Piccadilly. Also trams should be backed up past Asda heading into town after the match.

There were Blues in the stands opposite us Im sure at Madrid, player types but a few.

Think Blues who cant get tickets in the City end for big games will get them in home stands, I have a few times and will do so going forward.

There were plenty of City fans around at Madrid, particularly in the 'main' stand below us.

It’s being explained several times by people with knowledge of these things why it isn’t possible to have too many trams on the same section of track at the same time. Something to do with the electricity in the overhead cables.

25 double deckers parked behind the both the SS & NS ready to go to town along priority lanes at full time.

What an embarassing solution for the great City of Manchester, and by association, Manchester City

8000 more fans in 18 months time plus the arena audiences......fail to plan, plan to fail !!

The transport infrastructure serving the Etihad complex must be amongst the worst in Europe.

It cant remain as it is .....elite venues.....third world services !!

Not sure about Madrid mate, I was there last season for the 3-3 draw, don’t recall seeing any City fans in the home areas. Definitely the case with Barcelona though.

I'm sure there was city fans on the side near the corner flag, but it could of been the 1 1 draw season b4, but definitely city fans there and not a few but maybe 100 or so
