Following feedback from fans and having reviewed the existing public transport, we have identified some local areas with limited travel options available on a matchday.

As a result, we will be offering ticketholders in these areas free coach travel to and from the Etihad Stadium on Sunday for the Chelsea match.

There will be two free coaches in operation. The first will travel from Macclesfield to the Etihad Stadium, stopping in Bramhall, Cheadle, Didsbury and Stockport. The other will run from New Mills, passing through Disley, Marple, Bredbury and Denton.

A timetable for the routes can be found below, and the relevant links to sign up can also be found in the table. Please note tickets are first come first served and fans can only access the selected coach they sign up for. Registrations can take place up until the coaches leave at their designated time.

As well as benefitting from free travel to the match, anyone who registers and uses their coach ticket will be entered into a raffle and can win a range of amazing prizes including a signed Erling Haaland shirt, or four tickets in Legends for a home match next season.

Ticketholders for the match who live along, or close to the routes will receive a bespoke email from the Club containing more information about the plans.

Both coaches will then leave the Etihad Campus from the West Car Park at 19:00 (UK). This is the same location fans will be dropped off at before kick-off. The coaches are expected to arrive back in Macclesfield by 20:45 (UK) or New Mills at 20:30 (UK), and both routes will stop at all the same stops.
