Matchday "safety" changes

[mosssideblue]

Excellent. Priority to the drivers may mean that a few more stay till the final whistle ;-)

Good point, but I doubt it as some seem hell bent on leaving early

 

[Bbc spokesman]

Transport for Greater Manchester time all traffic lights in the area around the ground . All they have to do is set a "tidal flow" on the ways into Beswick main routes giving priority to those travelling to the ground and then set it to give priority to those leaving on main routes out once the game ends . They won't do anything though because their political masters are anti car .

At the gig I attended there were hardly any cars there at all

Guess it's going to be bit hectic around there then see if it works . Something had to be done though because it's bad there anyway

Too many pedestrians on a match day think they own the fucking roads.

They did this either last season or season before. Worked ok but then mob rule took over. Said it before. Just needs a bridge

It's common with Barry Manilow concerts I believe.

But we are just discussing the Etihad.

Just don't see how they think they can stop pedestrians crossing the lights at gate 2 on that side of the lights.

OK. Just gone back and read the message again and I may have misunderstood it first time around. Is it implying that cars can only leave via gate 1?

I know, I am getting senile and it takes me longer to get these things :)

No pedestrian access by the shortest route to the north! Go the long way round so cars can get out quicker.

But the pedestrians heading that way will now take even longer to get there, blocking Alan Turing Way and the Gate 1 car park exit.

Or will they just ignore attempts to stop them using Gate 1? What enforcement? Stewards with no powers of arrest telling people not to go through an open gate?

And trying to split pedestrians into "lanes" either for car park or not, outside the Metrolink station at the Joe Mercer memorial? Madness with conflicting flows....

This forum is brilliant the things that people find to rant about his hilarious. I take it Vic is short for Victor as in Meldrew.
Go to the match, have a couple of beers and chill out

Think so gate 1 is for cars only and gate 2 bottom of joe mercer way is for pedestrians before n after the match
