Sheffield derby trams/road closures etc

[BigAl1 142]

I note supertram are warning of delays owing to likely congestion due to the derby match next week.

 

I was wondering if are planing on having all their trams (with the exception of the crashed one) out in operation providing extra services to maximise the numbers who will have the option of using the tram

Sheffield United fans do not use the supertram to get to the match otherwise you could face what happened last year ie missing the first half hour due to SYP holding up the trams !!!!!

Police are saying that after the match for 30 min there will be road closures along Middlewood road and a fleet of trams will be laid on to take United fans into town. Home fans will be asked to remain in the stadium to allow away fans to get away quickly.

"Sheffield United fans will be asked to remain in the ground for around 10 minutes after the game to allow home supporters to disperse."

Whether on a tram or walking it will not make a difference,  if they want to fight they will do. Last time they were fighting on the tram and it was held up for ages on Langsett Road

Surprised that no one is imputing on the number of extra trams that will run to serve the supporters and minimise the disruption
