Â so no chance then! Â There are lots of these in town, red light changes causing huge queues. Nothing to do with pollution collection points of course, as I've been saying in the CAZ thread for ages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
BigAl1   142 #53 Posted September 23, 2019 There are lots of these in town, red light changes causing huge queues  and no trafic on the green light side.  some of these appear to be automatically set to allow pedestrians to cross even if there are none though there is a button that pedestrians can use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The only logical solution would be to shut the North Stand, Kop and leppings lane, ban away fans and reduce south stand capacity to 6k.

Acky72   10 #57 Posted September 24, 2019 Al the residents in this area pay rates to the council and no thought as gone into them I think this is illegal to close so many roads  can’t they close them half an hour before reopen while the match is on then close for half an hour after the police are there they could do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think it is time o move the stadium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
