Salford City Council is working closely with Trafford Council and Manchester City Council on the operational details of these games to ensure that they run as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Traffic and road closures

On matchdays, a number of roads will be closed or have parking restrictions. Though most of these fall in Trafford, the knock-on effect caused by matchday traffic may affect Salford residents and businesses.

The Get Ahead Of The Games website has details of how travel will be affected on match days at Old Trafford.
