Your experience please of the best place to park. The old legs can manage a 10/15 minute walk but not a lot more. Thanks in advance.

I need to know too, last time I went on the tram because I was staying in a hotel in the centre but driving this time

Around the media city/Lowry area best for quick get away.

How many spaces there? If I turned up at 1:30 would there be space?

Ta UTC

i've come off at junction 7 go past Stretford Shopping Mall on Chester Road an park Derbyshire Lane,Grange Avenue .. It's a 10-15 mins walk but once you reach your car you are back on the M60 in minutes rather than queuing traffic M32 0DA

We usually park at a tram stop but, unlike Man City, there's a 10 min walk or so to the tram after the game.

Thanks everyone, very much appreciated. A Merry Christmas to you all.

Eccles park and ride, tram to media city. Only issue is it’s probably a 15 minutes walk but it’s flat

Exchange Quay & Pomona are a bit closer I think

Exchange quay or Pomona are the stops to use. Park and ride from Ladywell (1 stop from Eccles) off J2 of M602

Use the postcode M50 2EQ for a car park at media city. It's very handy.

Anyone know what Media City car park is like for getting out after? Hours of queuing?

Thanks a lot. Parked there and saw the game to the end, clapped the lads off and back in Rawtenstall for just before 6pm

Folowed this advice - parked up at 1:15 for free at Ladywell - it was nearly empty! 2 adult returns for £1.90 each to Exchange Quay, has time to visit Chiquito for some food and got inside for 15 minutes before kick off.

Coming out was busy felt like a sardine in the tram, but on the M62 by 5:45 so can’t argue with that - cheers
