I’m chairing so if someone fancies coming from on here Dm me
Any questions although it’s a time away
Any questions although it’s a time away
Am I missing the point hereSure will be agenda point - but what’s the plan to sort traffic situation/ get away after games especially ….feel it’s getting unmanageable for a lot, especially midweek.
Am I missing the point here
While 30000 walk away from the ground roads are shut
Once they are out of the way the roads open
Is it not that simple?
An hour!!!!!!!No. They are not all out of the way and the main car parks are locked until an hour after kick off.
I do not park within these car parks but its made it worse.
The other problem is the traffic lights on the roads arent alligned to the closure so even on roads with only one access route the lights stay on red making it worse
An hour!!!!!!!
come on
If only it was that simple. You only need to read X for comments from tweeting they are stuck in a car park, the organisation was shambolic on Wednesday, clearly something was amiss as you got a different answer everything you asked a steward a question regarding the doors not opening at 1/2 time.Am I missing the point here
While 30000 walk away from the ground roads are shut

Is it an hour seriously? Before it opens?!!!!!An hour is OK?
Because the A444 is closed, the surrounding roads then become gridlocked. It’s a joke and is going to be a huge factor in those considering renewing next year, including me.Am I missing the point here

It’s not about it opening, the whole area becomes gridlocked so cars can’t get out of the car parks.Is it an hour seriously? Before it opens?!!!!!

Do people need to manage expectationsReally?
By the time I applaud the team and walk back to the car about 15 mins away the roads are busy but 20000 cars have just gone to an event
What do you expect?
having said that the assault delayed stuff and the car parks need a solution which the club shoood demand and the lights can be sorted surely

Used to be on the motorway in 15/20 mins before the closures. Now takes me over an hour. Not sustainable for me nor many others.Really?

No, not really. Wasn’t a problem before the closures.Do people need to manage expectations
When you go to a gig do they bring the car round and hand you the keys?
See my email to John I agreeIt was on Wednesday. Usually it’s much quicker. But start of the season it was at least half an hour. The lack of consistency and willingness to just keep it closed means people have no faith in how long it’ll be. Users generally will wait if they know how long its uncertainty that brings frustration.
What wasn’t?No, not really. Wasn’t a problem before the closures.
What wasn’t?
there were many near misses to the point it was inevitable someone would get seriously hurt
Me too , should clarify I think 15 mins after final whistle has given the bulk of people time to be awayWould love to see the time and location data on that assuming it’s not just anecdotal. I find it hard to believe there’s much around the arena more than ten mins after the game.
Traffic, obviously.What wasn’t?

Nope drive and park at the end of lythalls laneHonestly, you two must fly on a magic carpet to games if you cannot see the carnage it causes.
That will be why you don’t see any of the carnage then, it’s the opposite direction.Nope drive and park at the end of lythalls lane
I do see queues of cars and I do see lots of people walking away to get to their cars or home
Then I drive bumper to bumper and it eases as I head back into town on the a444 normally home in about 35 mins (20 of which is driving)
Tryin to use bus but we waited an hour for them all to come back to Tesco the Watford game

Backs up the A444 / Longford roundabout too. Literally no where to go.Exactly, the traffic has to go somewhere.
It is all routed down Longford Road for town which is then already gridlocked because of the roadworks. If lorries want to get to Prologis Park, they are all going via Ash Green.

Wednesday evening, I was parked about 4 cars from the exit of Car Park A.An hour!!!!!!!
come on
Went to Birmingham Academy last weekend, 45 minutes to get out of the car park. That's a 3K capacity venueDo people need to manage expectations

It’s the clubs issue to sort with the people that decide these things as ultimately, it’s going to hit them in the pocket!Not sure what the club can do about the closures they put out an explainer saying who it was that was actually ordering the road closures
Similar last time at the genting and the nia recentlyWent to Birmingham Academy last weekend, 45 minutes to get out of the car park. That's a 3K capacity venue
