The Football Association are laying on coaches for thousands of fans to get to the first-ever Manchester derby FA Cup final.
FA bosses are providing 120 coaches - 60 each for City and United - to the Wembley showpiece on Saturday, June 3, to overcome rail strikes planned for that day. The FA Cup final was under severe threat because there are no trains running on the 200-mile journey from Manchester to London because of industrial action.
Fans have been left furious as they were struggling to get to the all Manchester final but now the FA and both clubs are laying on extra transport. Tickets on the FA coaches will cost £60 return and £55 for under-15s and will only be available to fans who buy tickets through official channels and more than 5,000 may be able to use the service.
