Anyone know why there was no service from Altrincham metro yesterday? Turned up there as always, and instead had to head off to Brooklands. Which worked well in fairness, and it's always free parking there (rather than just Sundays or after 6ish at Alty), but just wondering if it was a temporary down, or if it's been like this/will be like this for a while. Quick check online didn't throw up anymore than you guys can probably confirm in a second.

Temporary. There's a lot of weekend working going on (some lines were out for the whole of Sunday) I don't know if it was part of that or something else. The TFGM site does show scheduled work a few days in advance - just click on the future tab.

Ta, will make sure I check in future. Sometimes the club themselves has texted when the metro has been down, but usually it's been a simple 1 mile up the road to Navigation Road.
Certainly didn't want to be messing about with busses in that sort of post game crowd scene!

It was just a temporary thing but I had no idea... got to Alty station at just after 2pm and no trams... taxi rank was empty too. Ended up getting the tram replacement bus to Timperley and then the tram to OT. First time I have almost missed kick off this season. I wish they wouldn't do these kind of works on a match day. The queues to get in the ground were a lot bigger than normal as well.

Do you mean 1pm as with a 2.05 kick off youd have done amazingly!

A whole lot of ifs and buts to wade through there. When would City-United happen if either of us are in CL on the Tues? I hope it's a completely different weekend, because I am abroad that weekend, so would be delighted to have City away back on the table

Have we ever had a more rubbish set of TV moves? With 3 of the 4 subject to change!

Not sure why the City game needs to be subject to change. With the champions league being the week before and after, Sat 5.30 would work whether the games were Tue or Wed either week surely?

Guessing they could swap us with a Sunday one, if either of those teams have a following Tuesday and we don't

I don't get to many united games a season nowadays, but I am actually working in Manchester on the 13th, so a single/pair or whatever for Seville would be gratefully received.

Anyone know if the West Ham away game has been rescheduled yet? After a ticket for that if anyone has one going.

Can't see it being done at the moment, probably waiting until after the Seville game...at least, otherwise could go for the week after the European QFs 17/18 Apr

"United host Arsenal on the final weekend of the month, which has now been moved to Sunday, April 29 with a 4.30pm kick off. It will be screened live on Sky Sports. That fixture is also subject to change depending on Champions League participation the following week." Anyone got an idea when this might be moved to if we advance in CL ? Im thinking about going.

That fixture will only change if we are playing the following Tuesday in CL I would think it will revert to the Saturday at 12.30 if we are.

Anyone have any ideas when the City ballot will be held after City were their typically smalltimes selves and didn't release our allocation?

a Farney man in Galway, next stop America.
I have got my ticket for Seville game, it is "added on" to my supporters club card. However, there are still some seats available to us members on official site. My mate has no ticket yet, nor has he a members card. I registered him today, so I can buy him a ticket... my problem is, we are travelling from Ireland, if I purchase with my card, in his name, how will he get ticket/entry into ground. ( we would be in different sections in east Stand.... Help please!
