If your trains are 2220 and 2228 from Manchester Piccadilly, presumably you are travelling to Sheffield.

Please note that there's also a later 0015 train from Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield. Does that help any?

N.B. To have got the earlier trains from Manchester Piccadilly, you would have needed to have been on the tram at Eccles for the 2140 departure (journey time = 34 minutes). This would have been just about do-able if the game had been at The Willows, but you've no chance now the game's at Barton.

Thanks, i was aware of the 00:15 train and would probably have gone for that but im with someone else and i dont think they would want to wait around that long.Yes you are right it is the Sheffield train.Everyone's been more than helpful with details on here. Good Luck to Salford, hope you have a great season [ except when you play FC of course

particularly the Bulls Head but watch out for buses crashing into the side of the pub !!!

There is one alternative way back in to Manchester, which is to get a bus (number 100) towards Irlam railway station (normal journey time = 10 mins), so as to catch the 2148 train from Irlam to Manchester Oxford Road (arrive 2213) and the onward train to Sheffield will be right behind. This leaves Manchester Oxford Road at 2223 and arrives Sheffield at 2335.

However, you would have to leave the game slightly early, and be at the bus stop on the main road by 2130 to do this. Might be possible to pre-book a taxi, but again, if you haven't left the ground before the final whistle, you'll undoubtedly get snarled up in the post-match traffic.
