Gate locked on ginnel to The Townley

What the police said at the derby‍

A right pain in the arse, last night someone warned us so we walked round to Mary ds

All the routes to the Townley were covered by GMP. The MIB’s were trying to get to the Townley before the match. The MIB’s met up in 7 Brothers in Ancoats and made their way to the Townley trying to get to the City fans. GMP had the MIB’s under surveillance and followed them. I’ve got a few pictures of a small group of MIB’s corralled against a metal fence opposite the Tesla garage, not far from the ginnel. The previous season the MIB’s got to the Townley via the ginnel and it kicked off. GMP weren’t going to make the same mistake again and let the MIB’s get to the Townley again.

Why the gate is getting closed now is anyone’s guess. Maybe it’s to do with the new parking restrictions? The local councillor will know why the gate is being closed.
 
If that path has been used on a daily basis since the stadium opened surely that constitutes a right of way?
‘To establish that a way has become a right of way by means of presumed dedication it is necessary to show firstly that there has been uninterrupted use as of right by the public (not necessarily the same people all the time) over a period of 20 years.’

The stadium was opened for the Commonwealth Games in 2002. 2024-2002 = 22
Just my two ‘pennorth.

Obstructing a public right of way is a criminal offence’
