.... if the LSV Co can't sort out the traffic management!

Along with plenty others, just spent THIRTY MINUTES trying to get off that car park. Just where were the stewards?

If there are serious problems with a crowd of just over 2,000 what would it be like with a [sizeBIG[/size crowd?

Can't see any potentially new speccies rushing back if they were stuck in that mess.

An absolute joke !!! Get it sorted, LSV Co !

It wasn't that bad when we staged the England France international.

I beleive that it had a lot to do with Atherleigh Way being busy - Good Friday being a big shopping day and the game finishing in the middle of the afternoon contributed to the LSV trying to empty on to a busy road, thus the delays. Wouldn't be like that in an evening or on a Sunday afternoon.

Seemed to take a lot longer than usual to clear, but far from the end of the world. The fact that Atherleigh Way was much busier than normal will have no doubt affected it.

Another LSV special. My wife and daughter went for their ticket,

"adult + student for the North Stand please"
"Are you sitting down?" hmmmmm
Then proceeded to add up the total on her fingers after having forgotten the price she originally told them, having her mic turned on by Andy and saying she had forgotten her glasses.

Come on LSV..is this the best you can do?

Nothing to do with traffic on Atherleigh Way imo.

It was simply a case of NO stewards on traffic duty after the game.

Just not good enough!

The traffic was backed up from Kamikaze right the way down towards Pennington, which meant there was very little space for anyone to come off the car park and join the bypass, so surely it was a big factor?!

Exactly Matt, mOre a case of the bypass needing to be a bypass rather than a single carriageway. Hardly the lsv fault.

When the bypass is busy midweek without 2000 Rugby fans trying to get our it can be hard to get off the LSV complex. Nothing to do with the stadium staff.

Well there were stewards when we were going off directing traffic theres not much they can do when By Pass is busy

didnt have a problem getting off the lsv (the stewards were directing the traffic) did have a problem getting on to the by pass going towards atherton due to the amount of traffic that the stewards had no control over because it is a public highway

Fifteen to twenty minutes to get off there isn't so bad. You should have tuned into GMR and listened to the Rochdale vs Oldham game like we did, it sounded great with plenty biff. I had more of a wait trying to get back to Bramhall down the bypass after dropping our Oliver off.

Genuine question:

Who has 'control' over the bollards that block entry/exit (except buses) from the back of the car-parks? If these could be opened up for twenty minutes or so after the game finishes, it would make a hell of a difference to how quickly the car-parks empty.

Was a 'mare today - but obviously the bottle-neck was getting onto the by-pass...summat the Sports Village has no control over!!

Agreed. A good mate of mine offered me a lift back to the Goose. I said thanks but it will be quicker to walk. As luck would have it I just got there after a mate had got the round in.

I've been to grounds where they charge you for the privilege and it can take near enough 20 minutes to get to the car, before even trying to get away.

Nothing this. When the England knights played France last year it took us more than 2 hours to get from lsv to Bedford !

If wasn't that we had 2 toddlers would've walked
