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

There’s parking from £5 to £8 within a mile’s walk. We have no choice for evening games either except pay £16 bus and overcrowded tram for two that takes 2.5 hrs or drive and park for less time and stress.
Unfortunately car is no longer an option at this time, I’ve been using the bus a bit, but after the farce after Young Boys and as the winter sets in, getting pissed wet through getting there and freezing for two hours plus getting back, just not enjoyable. Fortunately it seems tonight I’ve now got the car, hopefully Brisocoe lane is still free.
 
Lots of double yellows on roads off Ashton New Road. Seen 3 traffic wardens within 100 yards of each other. Cars parked on pavements behind yellows being targeted

Sadly it looks like a significant number of blues may have fallen victim to the traffic wardens this evening, I spoke to one earlier and he said they had been instructed to issue to all vehicle parked up on the new double yellow lines.
 
Walking from Rusholme (Maine Road) as a student or from Droylsden as a working man was absolute bliss. Even trains from Piccadilly, that brisk walk to come down from the match was fine.

Some nightmare stories and maybe worse to come?
 
I can't think of any valid reason to stop motorists parking on empty roads which are clearly not residential like Clayton Lane and numerous others. The public transport system currently cant cope with the ammount of people that use it without those that currently park on streets. So with the added pressure of those that are forced off the roads and the new arena it has no chance in future. What is the Councils plan for this?? Has any thought gone into this?

They don’t give a fuck mate, I binned it in the end tonight, Sat cost at home watching the game, I see quite a few empty seats, expect that a lot more going forward unfortunately.

Yes - kerrrrrrching we're missing a chance to rinse people.
I like Andy Burnham and his ideals, but he and the council have got this badly wrong

Why couldn’t they just put parking meters there instead of yellow lines in the none res areas!? Council could make dosh and some folk could park. Win win. Burnham needs to sort the public transport out, it is embarrassingly shite.
 
Manchester is far busier now. All those apartments in town etc. I went through Victoria on Saturday on the train and there was construction everywhere. With extra seats and a new concert venue to come, it’s only going to get worse without a radical solution. Andy Burnham and his mates don’t have it.
 
I don’t know what time the curfew will be at the new venue but most I ever went to finished at 11pm.
Guns and Roses were lucky to start by that time and the M.E.N. Which I assume doesn't have the same strict restrictions as the RAH.
