    And the bottom of Great Horton road where it's almost an impasse after a night game.

    Park on the pavements here, you don't get a ticket, you get towed or lifted.

    It is acceptable unless and if road signs warning you prohibiting of such are in place , if not then it’s fine as you suggest . I wouldn’t dream of it personally .

    Really lucky given the way he was weaving at speed down the wrong side. Then reversed back at speed - no way he could have stopped if someone got in his way reversing. It looked like his car got surrounded. I don't know what happened then.

    We were sat in traffic on lumb lane and then some idiot tried driving on the other side of the road around the traffic and nearly collided with an oncoming car. Then the pleb pulled his window down and shouted abuse at the drivers who were actually driving normally. As we were trying to get toward Manningham Lane, some other lovely driver at one point decided to drive half on the path and half on the road to get around the traffic.

    Some morons out tonight in BD8!

    Normal driving standards for BD8. Thankfully haven't had to walk down Midland Road for a few years now.

    Midland road should be one way post match. There is not enough parking available to stop parking there

    Yes I’m not saying to prevent parking etc, just to block the end of the road at the lights with queens road for 15 mins after the game until all fans have dispersed

    It should be shut from 1330 to 1730 on a Saturday matchday .
    The end

    If it was a shopping centre it would be pedestrianised , so short term closures wouldn’t harm anyone .

    The council refuse site is on there as a many other businesses so can’t feasibly close it before 4pm.
    We are only trying to protect thousands of fans walking down there after the game, not the steady stream of fans walking to the game.
