Police car crashing in to someone's car hasn't helped the situation!

Game finished an hour ago and we’re still sat stuck in a queue less than a mile away from the stadium 😂😂😂
Who approves it all?

Roadworks at the blue ribbon roundabout.
Roadworks on cov road..
Roadworks in holbrooks.

Where do they expect traffic to go?

I had to walk 20 minutes to my car. TBH, I could walk home in 50 minutes. Wouldn’t it be worth looking at Parking Apps?

It’s definitely bad timing. The roadworks were flagged up months ago.

We already paid for a season ticket at the car park we use. Might have to look into whether we can change it to somewhere else or request a refund. It’s ridiculous how long it’s taking to get home.

We don’t park in one of the official car parks. The roads in Holbrooks are awful.
There's roadworks everywhere as it is.

Then there's traffic that would be on the a444 going through Longford or exhall to get up to Holbrook's.

Both have roadworks.

It’s a shit show and the club/council really need to rethink the road closure given the road works on the blue ribbon.

Just to compound it three way traffic lights on Blackhorse Road too with no fucker working.

What time do they take the road blocks off. I’m starting to think I may as well sit on the drive for half an hour as it’s taken me hour and half to get to Rugby.

Yeah they were the ones. Absolutely mental and no reason for them to be there.

3.5 hours back to Kings Lynn today. What was regularly a 2 hour journey last season, sometimes under for night fixtures.

Genuinely puts me off going. If nothing changes, will consider having a ST next year.

Road should definitely be opened 15mins earlier than has been
Was definitely reopened a lot sooner yesterday. Left my seat at the final whistle and by the time I’d walked back to the car park they were opening up again.

Last few games I’ve not left as quickly and been sat in the car 15-30 minutes until the roads reopened

This . ☝️I might not bother getting a ST next season . It takes up too much time to travel and this just adds an hour onto my journey

Is it worth mass complaining to the council and club as it’s a joke that the main road to the motorways is closed.

Apparently it’s down to pedestrian safety

absolute madness
Safety first. It was always going to happen with larger crowds.

You’ll save a fortune. Or park away from the stadium and walk 15-20 minutes? There are places where you can get away quicker if you fancy walking a bit.

It’s a disaster for me - used to come by bike - park easily and securely ( v important) get away quickly - not possible now
