Just emailed this to Metrolink customer services
Please note,please be aware there will be many away fans arriving at Victoria and Piccadilly.Please confirm that Metrolink/Police staff will be marshalling these crowds of opposition supporters,as there is a chance of trouble if allowed to mingle/travel together in large groups.
I will be travelling from Bowker Vale to Etihad with family members and the reputation of Leeds away supporters is not good.
Would suggest Metrolink staff/police travel on board the trams to ensure proper behaviour for the safety of all members of the public.

You'd be better staying on until Piccadilly Station if there's additional ones starting from there, as some people have said.
