Match arrangements: MOSSLEY AFC v FC UNITED OF MANCHESTER

'Match arrangements for our trip to Mossley AFC on Tuesday night are now available.

On Tuesday 13th November, FC United travel to Seel Park (OL5 0ES) to play Mossley AFC in the second round of the Frank Hannah Memorial Manchester Premier Cup.

The upturn in our form means we will travel with high hopes of securing a semi final place in this competition as we try to win it for a third year in succession.

Admission is by payment at the turnstiles as follows:

Adults £8
Concessions £5
U17s £2
Accompanied Children Free

We urge as many supporters as possible to get to this game as firstly we get a share of the gate receipts and secondly we are playing some great football that’s a joy to watch!!!

Enjoy the game.'

Does anyone know the best way to get to Mossley AFC tomorrow evening, by public Transport from Manchester ??

I leave work at approx. 5pm in Altrincham, so if the Metrolink is running OK (a big if as it is not running today!), and I can reach Manchester by tram, what is the best route/way to go from there ??

Should I board a metrolink to either Ashton-Under-Lyne, or Metrolink to Oldham, and then get a Bus from either of those places to Seel Park, as looking on Google maps, it lies between them by 4-5 miles each way ?

is the Train a better, reliable way to get there, or not with the Northern Rail reliability nightmare never ending ?

Any help on this is much appreciated as never been there before, so need to decide whether I am going to attempt to get there in evening rush hours from Altrincham. Thanks, Graham

Trains all go to/from Piccadilly so I'd tram it to there then train to Mossley station, although the station is seriously down a steep hill from the ground. Some services are Northern Fail but the rest are TPE to Hull or Dirty Leeds. Roughly every half hour to Mossley and coming back it's the 2219 to the Airport via Piccadilly.

Thanks for the Trains INFO, stations Info and Travel Advice for tomorrow night David, much appreciated. Fingers crossed the Trams are OK tomorrow afternoon/evening so I can get to Piccadilly and onto a train for Mossley
