The Star, apparently, is reporting that trams between 10am and 12 noon, normal service from 12 noon until 1pm and then from 1pm until 3pm terminates at Shalesmoor. Pathetic or common sense?
Trams suspended on Sunday?

Pathetic, Manchester does not suspend the metro on derby day.
They have not run the tram to Hillsborough when Leeds visit for the last couple of times, but that was due to the scum Leeds fans wrecking a tram a few years back, as far as I am aware no United or pig fans have damaged any trams on derby day before.

No, just pathetic. Never trouble on the trams when we travel to Hillsborough or vice versa. It's a different story when other teams come to Sheffield but it seems even our lot aren't stupid enough to go smashing up their own trams. Suspect it's just SYP advocating taking any responsibility for policing these things properly like usual.

Surely it would make more sense to shut the pubs on Hillsborough Corner before the game

So, decisions made to stop one route to the game. When can we expect to hear the alternative officially recommended route to the game?
Or shall we all just magically and safely find our way there?
Last time I looked many of the buses go through to Hillsborough bus terminus with a nice drop off before the corner to walk through the gathering pork.
There’s no open pubs they just gather there with cans and bottles. I walked through last year down from Walkley and whilst unpleasant wasn’t horrific.
I do think this will cause more pockets of trouble dotted about that are way harder to police. And after the game any egress will be slower and harder without the option of a non stop tram away from the pork.
I hope not but let’s see what this decision causes..

Instead of actually policing the piggy idiots throwing things at the trams in the same places at every derby at the sty, they've called off the trams. Only SYP

In fact on reflection after match can be worse. What is the SYP plan to get 2300 people safely away?
Arrival can be staggered and potential for taxis or drop offs. Afterwards the staggered nature doesn’t exist and I doubt people including taxis and friends will wish to hang around waiting in an unpleasant area with no obvious waiting location.
As I say I await the official SYP publicity on how we will be kept safe and not sitting ducks.
