Honestly I live in Sale and get the metro all the time to United games and such and its really not that bad.
Options are: Queue for up to 20 minutes or so for the packed metro back into town (Only 4 stops)
Walk down to deansgate - 30 Minutes or so with a lot of other people. No safety issues at all.
The metro isnt as bad as people are saying at all. Yes its busy but your going to a sporting event with 70,000 odd in attendance so its going to be busy everywhere. There will be many metrolink people on the platform organising people into each section of the metro so I wouldnt worry too much about your littleuns.
Hopefully Metrolink have now figured out that there's an event on, and put more or bigger trams on the line. This wasn't the case the previous times Wigan have been there, so they just had the normal 2-coach trams on, and the queues were horrendous.
