Regarding the road closures, instead of closing the roads why don't they use the footbridge that connects Car park C to the Arena for fans to cross the road after the game, because there are steps that allow you to go down onto the foot path on the other side of the A444.
Obviously fencing off the pedestrian crossing at the same time so people don't cross the road.
Of course it would have to be Marshalled correctly.
And then no one would have to be held up waiting to get out of the car parks.

I genuinely can’t see a solution that doesn’t involve closing the roads for as short a period as possibleWell no the biggest problem is you cannot access the bridge from half the ground as its fenced off.
Also you still have to cross the island if you park in Winding House Lane.
The bridge anyway would never be able to cope with the flow of people leaving the ground

It’s 15 mins before and 30 mins afterwards at the momentIt shouldn't be the hour though.
After the Sunderland game I met up with someone in the Anecdote for half an hour and then walked to my car at the CP1 car park - so a 15 minute walks - and they were still closed.
The only real potential danger point is the crossing at the Jimmy Hill Way but its open before the match with no stewarding and is still very busy
I've sat in carpark A until 5.30 most games, but the stadium is shut and locked up by 5.15, so why not release the cars then? everyone has buggered off by thenIt’s 15 mins before and 30 mins afterwards at the moment
That’s about right isn’t it??I've sat in carpark A until 5.30 most games, but the stadium is shut and locked up by 5.15, so why not release the cars then? everyone has buggered off by then
The answer to all the road closure shite is simple
Build a fuckoff bridge over the A444, about 8 times the width of the current one. Get the support work done either side in the car parks, road will only need to be shut for a night while they lower the main bridge structure into position
Then we have the tunnel to Car Park C, the current bridge that's in place, and then the new bridge
Paying for it however I admit, is the big issue
Only problem being who pays for it
A shame Wasps never asked for it, would have been sorted in a week.The famous ever so supporting Coventry City Council

Pretty sure they have now gone back on that now. Something to do with PL regulations although won’t be in it next season anyway.Leicester use a digital one and a physical card is charged an extra £25. It didn't go down well with their supporters
Can't think of any ticketing app I've got on my phone that doesn't allow you to transfer tickets to someone elseCan’t you share the ticket with someone on Apple Wallet?
Pound to a penny they'll be negotiating till the last moment before signing a deal.Story in telegraph about lease
We need to be exerting more pressure I think professionally and politely but
What direct efforts have been undertaken to extend it or to buy

Money maybeThere is nothing compelling FG to agree a new deal before the end notice period for the existing deal, is there?
Money maybe
Depends what the fine is and what we might be able to balance over a 10 year deal rather than the last 3 of this oneIn what respect? They're getting about £1m rent, we're not going to start paying them more if we don't have to.
I think they will be discussing guarantees about stadium maintenance as part of the deal.Depends what the fine is and what we might be able to balance over a 10 year deal rather than the last 3 of this one
He’s been consistent and adamant on this pointIs DK definitely sure about the fine? The way the rules are drafted it makes it appear like the rule applies to clubs being promoted into the FL but not existing clubs

Sounds silly could the supporters club ask for meetings with Frasers closer to the time like they did with Wasps to try and get some pressure.Story in telegraph about lease

Up the chain I said I asked just that and Doug king was very clear everything was great but he would say if it’s notSounds silly could the supporters club ask for meetings with Frasers closer to the time like they did with Wasps to try and get some pressure.
Writing to council and MPs again closer to the timer especially at a time where I imagine Fraser needs to be positive with the council for their headquarters?
Just early ideas sure they’ll be some good ones but on the note of being professional think we just need to wait for the time being.
As long as its not a round of applause like last timeSounds silly could the supporters club ask for meetings with Frasers closer to the time like they did with Wasps to try and get some pressure.
