The End of on Street Parking within walking distance of the Etihad

[Citizen of Legoland]

My daughters went to the Coldplay gig last night and were seated in L3 of the south stand
When they left the stadium and turned right to walk down Ashton toad towards town, there were a queue of stewards who wouldn't allow any of the concert goers to walk that way and they were all directed towards Joe Mercer way
Apparently it was an absolute nightmare with people trying to walk away from the stadium and also trying to queue for a tram
They also said they were charging £7 for a pint of Asahi

Good job it wasn’t an Aerosmith concert.

No stewards are stopping me walking on a public road unless there is a serious accident/issue.

Just wondering if they were trying to stop punters and trams mixing on Merrill Street. I can imagine it was deemed more a risk than for a football game due to City fans being generally less pissed up and more au fait with the way trams share the road there.

Ye seems that area is basically untouched which is where I park unfortunately everyone who parks in the other places will now probably move there, I usually go down 2 hours before to get a spot, lots of stewards park there as well, with limited car parking at the stadium lots of them may well start parking there as well.

Living in Droylsden and usually boozing before the game in Clayton Con. Club thinking it might just be easier walking.

I do t mind getting the bus if I’m honest if the games at a reasonable time of day, it’s the night matches in winter that will be a test if parking becomes an issue.
