Greeton Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hopefully if they have sense they will open the southbound after they have let people in the car park go first to minimise congestion once opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like SAG's power trip will be causing problems for passing motorists as well as fans, but as long as we're avoiding the potential for deadly pointing and shouting clashes with QPR's 400 strong army that's alright. I’ve been pointed at,verbally abused, had stuff thrown at me, rude gestures...the lot... my lip trembles a bit but the wife always apologises afterwards so it’s like water off a ducks back now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Do they diverted traffic away from thousands of fans in Penistone Road to thousands of fans on Leppings Lane and Parkside Road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarNigel Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 It make sense, so i'm suprised the council and SAG have agreed to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl 44 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I don't use them but where will the coaches and minibuses park? Or will they be allowed to use the road? Are they just closing it to the general public but allowing football traffic through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm guessing, but presumably fans heading towards Middlewood who can no longer walk via the back of the south stand and Lepping lane, use Parkside Rd and Catch Bar Lane instead. So this route must be much busier with pedestrians than it used to be. Traffic cannot be diverted down here. That would be ludicrous and would just move the risk from one road to another. Indeed, this road should also be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31Dec1966 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 How far down Penistone Road? What about shoppers coming out of the Barracks ? What about all the cars parked at the leisure centre, mr Clutch, Kwik fit etc (not just match traffic either). This level of stupidity is bizarre. 500 QPR fans, around 21,000 Owls, less than half the old capacity. How can making the whole North Stand empty at one side be safer than half going one way and half another. The general public (and Football fans) should not be treated this way, it's nothing short of outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of near misses as traffic head up towards Wadsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Is that the same Leppings Lane that they shut off to traffic before and after the game? Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just now, HOOTIE AND THE poo TU said: Is that the same Leppings Lane that they shut off to traffic before and after the game? This. And Parkside Road after big games. The whole place will be gridlocked. They can’t shut Penistone Road. Only way from the M1 to Sheffield is to take them off over Grenoside, over Wadsley, Rivelin etc as bus gates stop you going down Middlewood Road.

Tamworthowl Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Having looked at the map, the only short detour as an alternative to Pensitone Road in the vicinity of the kop is via Parkside Road / Catch Bar Lane and Leppings Lane. That to me seems like removing a risk and replacing it with one 10 times worse. I can only imagine that they're doing half a job and allowing access to Herries Rd S from Penistone Rd (heading north) and only closing the section from Herries Rd S to the LL roundabout.

They can take traffic coming into Sheffield down past Radio Hallam, to rejoin Penistone Rosd after Charlie Browns, theoretically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
