People who are getting the train to old trafford next week, please note that all trams from the city centre have been suspended until the 2nd November, due to a multi million pound engineering and maintanence work.

However there will be buses running that will be the same price as you would have to pay on the tram that will take you too the ground.

Barnbow Club are doing 2 coaches to the game. £12 adults & £9 for kids. I'll be on there

It's illegal to drink on coaches. I'll make sure the police are informed.

There are no trams through the city centre. They are running from St Peters down to Old Trafford and Trafford Bar. If you are getting a train into Piccadilly you just need to walk down to St Peters and you shouldn't have a problem.

You are Kevin Brock and I claim my £5

Indeed ... If you are going on the train from Leeds, you can also get a through ticket to Old Trafford.

It is also worth remembering too that there is usually a special train (not tram) the runs from the centre of Manchester (Oxford Road ?) that stops at the little station just behind the main stand.... Hardly anyone seems to use this

Rather general there Danny. Its only illegal to drink on a coach when heading to asporting event.

No its' not.

Just be aware that the constabulary have been informed of potential law breaking activity en route to Old Trafford next weekend by people whose local club is Castleford.

I hope we get stopped, our beer taken off us and the driver will be at fault, not us



I'm sure ours wont be the only bus tohave plenty of beverages on it

You travelling on the ''Big Fu#king Yellow Bus'' along with Mr Lawrie Lee?

Access bus.

I do. You will miss the game.

The coach, and everybody on it, will be impounded.

I will LMAO if he gets his wish.

Will it? Not according to a man in the trade.

HTH


And nah am not on the Big Fcuking Yellow Bus with Mr Lee. I'd rather not go with a Catalan fan!

Official coach again this year methinks.

Nope, they'll be somewhere just outside Manchester .... *bahdumpsh*

you wasnt invited in the first place so dont get too big for your boots

I'd suggest that your mate in the trade takes a look at that link

We may be imprisioned. Not will be, it'll be the driver at fault for letting passengers drink.

But still, have you seen a coach/train heading to a sporting event stopped because of alcohol being consume on it? I certainly haven't and mates, family and proprietors of coach companies that have never been stopped or heard of anyone been stopped for the above. Yes its the law but it isn't policed as much compared to some laws.

not my coach

Not being a lawyer, shouldn't it depend on what is a 'designated' sporting event ?

I would think something like the 'old firm' game this weekend would be a 'designated' event, where trouble is a possibility, whereas the Grand Final and the reputation of the game's supporters in general means that the police have little to worry about when RL fans are in town ?
