The bigger the score line, the better. I smile warmly while watching those people glumly descend the staircase. Better yet, when the odd one misjudges a step.
Bet you hang around if we lose, drinking all those tears is good energy.
Cars with people in waiting to pick people up from the game? They’re usually parked up the entire length of Winding House Lane causing complete chaos but that was closed.i hope not ! one effect was that there were cars parked right up the Foleshill on the pavement making it more dangerous for pedestrians
Where have you seen that, I have looked but can’t find anything? Which part are WCC responsible for - beyond the M6?Warwickshire Council are showing the part they're responsible for as closed for Wednesdays match, nothing listed by Coventry Council and no indication from the club that it will be happening again. You'd assume it is but would be nice if they made people aware.
I hadn’t assumed that the closure would be repeated unless it was announced in advance. There is nothing on WCC website. Can this third party site actually be trusted to be correct - I have never heard of it.Warwickshire Council are showing the part they're responsible for as closed for Wednesdays match, nothing listed by Coventry Council and no indication from the club that it will be happening again.

People won't be to please if they stick to that as the KO is 12-30That site shows road closures on every match day, including one from 16:15 on the day of the Leicester match.
It's the site councils and the Highways Agency use. There's links to it from the Cov Council and Warwickshire Council roadworks pages.Can this third party site actually be trusted to be correct - I have never heard of it.
Can't work out how they ended up with cars going up Winding Tree Lane and nearly taking people out. The bottom of Hen Lane was closed off wasn't it so they couldn't have been turning left out of there.Think they could have kept left turn out of Christ the King car park open to allow left turn only at the roundabout. Would still have allowed full pedestrian access out from the stadium.
Thanks, I can see that now.It's the site councils and the Highways Agency use. There's links to it from the Cov Council and Warwickshire Council roadworks pages.
Yes, I know that. It’s why I don’t think this is entirely reliable.People won't be to please if they stick to that as the KO is 12-30
Absolute shambles. There’s either a safety issue or there isn’t. Not like it’s going to be a 10K crowd on Wednesday or anything like thatJust on the Official that there's no road closure after tomorrow's game.
There is no safety issue if everyone (a) followed the Highway Code and (b) took some personal responsibility for their own safety. I realise the latter concept is somewhat controversial these days when trigger warnings are deemed necessary before Midsomer Murders.
Friday May have been a pilot or as a result of the game being a local derby with high away following. The Xmas party may also have been a consideration. It will be interesting to see if there is a road closure for the Leicester match.
Presumably you meant some people - a minority.Unfortunately, people do not do either a) or b) or both. So there is a safety issue. And I stand by my previous comment, it is only a matter of time before someone is run over if something other then expecting everyone within the 1000's crossing the A444 to abide by a) & b). You cannot force 1000's to follow rules but you can mitigate risks with sensible measures.

The whole point of traffic light controlled crossings is that they in themselves are safety measures.
But how do you mitigate a risk by putting even more cars onto a bit of road that's more likely to have people crossing?Unfortunately, people do not do either a) or b) or both.

I come away from the ground down the steps on the Judds Lane / A444 corner of the ground and tbh that is an accident waiting to happen. You have hundreds, if not thousands, of people trying to get down those steps and across the round. Nobody wants to wait so there's a crush. You get people ignoring the lights and crossing in front of traffic as well as people jumping over the barrier and walking round the roundabout.A minority yes of course. But the traffic controlled crossing clearly isn't capable of dealing with the thousands and minority that wont abide by your a) & b)
Can anyone work out what the criteria is for the road closures?
Was closed for the Brum game with an attendance of under 27K, was then open for Saints, a 24K crowd, with the club saying it wasn't needed due to the smaller expected crowd
Today there's 30K expected with the added bonus of little public transport due to a bank holiday timetable running so obv it's open
Just an experiment I think?I reckon they think it didn’t work how they wanted and quietly canned it with the crowd size as an excuse

that crossed my mind but surely they'd just say that rather than having the main piece of information, in bold, on every match day guide as:I reckon they think it didn’t work how they wanted and quietly canned it with the crowd size as an excuse
its also a regular occurrence at other events there so not like they needed to trial a big unknownFans are advised that there will NOT be a post-match closure of the A444/Jimmy Hill Way at this game.
Gauge reaction of motorist's etc due to it being fortnightly in general rather than once a year?that crossed my mind but surely they'd just say that rather than having the main piece of information, in bold, on every match day guide as:

Agreed, but the traffic is really quite aggressive away from the lights wherever the cars enter from. Someone will get killed one day. Cars need to slow down, pedestrians need to use the crossing safely. It’s not rocket science. Approx 400 manage to cross the road every time the lights stop traffic. Thus taking a good 15 minutes for all the people to cross.It was only dangerous for those who insist on taking their young kids across a three lane road because it takes a bit longer to use the crossings
