Default Re: Police operation on Mold Road

They seemed to stop fans going into the street opposite the MRS turnstiles. Is it Lilac way?
Anyone know?

As they weren't in a straight line across the road but more of an arc, it just happened to cut across the end of Lilac Way. They were only letting people through the gaps at either end but if you wanted to go up Lilac Way there was no problem going through the gap they had at that end. Not many people seemed to use it though compared to the other end.

Always used to happen years ago. Perhaps more so when away fans occupied the Tech End and their departing coaches would all be lined up on Mold Road facing the A483 just before the end of the match.

Much safer for the masses walking back towards town post match - and lets face it the narrow pavements aren't adequate with hundreds pouring out of the ground - makes things very dangerous allowing normal traffic flow to continue with fans with their backs to traffic.

The delays don't take long - like the speed the stadium empties at the final whistle. Pedestrians should be the priority - road closed for as long as it takes to walk to Grosvenor Road - then release. The consequences of someone being hit by a car and injured or even worse would mean the road being closed for hours.

The only concern as always is once the closure is on people drop their guard - cars parked up within the limits of the closure (on car parks / mini side roads / the railway station) start moving within the closure as per last night whilst we walked back into town.

I think a Traffic Management company - Amberon ? were implementing the closure with signage and cones.

Don't know if there were any similar arrangements for Comicon earlier in the day at the University.

They were putting cones down at the Crispin lane junction after the final whistle.
