Jerry St Clair There are so many fundamental flaws in the stadium design, I'd be incined to knock it down and start again.

rabidbee Possibly not the most constructive observation, but it's a shame that they didn't make the pedestrian routes and the roads completely separate.
rabidbee I'm still in favour of closing all carparks until at least 15 minutes after the final whistle.

The 17 Bus Would you add more seats at that point?

Jerry St Clair Basically, on matchdays all roads around the stadium should be "locked down" until at least 20 mins after the final whistle. And I actually include the A33 in this between the Green Park Roundabout and the brewery which should be handed over to pedestrians leaving the stadium.

Dirk Gently They do - the problem is people who leave the match early and get to their cars before the final whistle, and so are on the surround roads once the whistle goes and the remaining people leave en masse. With a drab match suddenly won 4 minutes before the end it was a recipe for disaster on Saturday.

Dirk Gently RBC won't even agree to the paining of yellow boxes on the A33 roundabout to stop it getting gridlocked, so good luck with that one!

Change the process then. Lockdown the car parks from 4.30 for a Saturday game as Birmingham do. Few people would leave 25 mins before the end just to beat the traffic.
Oh......

Did they give a reason why they wouldn't agree to painting yellow boxes?

Thaumagurist* Are yellow boxes really not allowed on A roads?

rabidbee Sorry. I meant closing the car parks for the duration of the match (or at least from c. 4:30) until 15 minutes after the end of the game.
