alan48 347 Posted October 18, 2019 Totally confused by all this . Can I drive down Halifax Rd and turn to go and park where I am a member at the Niagara ground ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dani_armo 503 Posted October 18, 2019 It's almost as if the council want us to move to an out of town stadium near a main dual carriageway (with easy access to the motorway), and nearby supertam links etc.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ash76 613 Posted October 18, 2019 Think about it, current road closures and diversions are not in accordance with the law as they've not gone through a TRO whether than be temporary or permanent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Animis 4,019 Posted October 18, 2019 The council will have the amend these plans significantly. Penistone Road is a main arterial route in and out of the city. There's no way they can close this on a Saturday when it's at its busiest. The diversion will mean traffic significantly backing up to the jcn of Parkside Road onto Penistone Road for most of the day, which in itself causes issues with emergency vehicle movements, which is one of the so called reasons given for the plans in the first place. How do the residents of the terrace streets on the North side of the ground function - essential the plans say you can't drive, unless they have dispensation. I suspect this is a deprivation of liability issue and could be easily challenged. Why have they targeted no parking restrictions on Rawson Spring Road? Is there a safety issue here? Bizarre. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

modboy 6,088 Posted October 18, 2019 After the last match I went straight to peddler market. Not one bus passed me on the way. How are people supposed to get to and from the matches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention night matches - Penistone Road is already chocka at rush hour, so how is all that traffic going to cope when it's closed? To think all this has stemmed directly from SYP not policing one game properly.

uptheowls 564 Posted October 19, 2019 Wonder if we’d still be in the same situation if the ground had been updated like these plans. Still no room outside Leppings, Still cramped for space all round the ground in fact. Imagine all that money getting spent and we still got done over by the SAG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems to have got worse since then. it appears that someone in power somewhere is doing their best to stifle SWFC from plying their trade in front of paying customers. perhaps we need to hire some serious professionals to look into how things run so smoothly at the lane, or to ask if finding they're not running any smoother, why restrictions have not been implemented there? could it be that someone with a dislike of SWFC has, and is driving their own agenda? it looks a tad lopsided from someone from outside looking in I can assure you.

Looks like the temporary traffic restrictions in place are being proposed to be permanent. Not sure if this means the access to the ground restrictions and capacity reductions will stay too.

Spoke to the head of Sheffield Highways earlier this year on this issue we have with the carriageway width, sighting distance, turning radii and lack of adequate markings. He was quite content to state that the road in question did not meet current highway standards and acknowledged the accidents on it were probably down to it. Said they did not have any cash to rectify anything. Great to know that was clearly pap as they have managed to conduct a study with a view to implementing the points.

rs99 15 Posted October 19, 2019 I spoke to Tim on Friday. Apparently nothing is changing on match days apart from parking won’t be allowed on the pavements.There won’t be extra road closures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
