    Folk have obviously never read the Highway Code

    Exactly. Cars drive on a road. Who knew.

    The answer is to make it one way from 3 till 6 match days but you will never legislate for lunatics. Pedestrians don’t help either by not using a bit of common sense

    I was being a little facetious. I wasn’t there, so I have no idea what went on. But, in the past I’ve seen folk drive like tits, and conversely, I’ve seen folk deliberately drag their feet whilst crossing Manningham Lane, presumably just to be awkward..You’re right, a better Police presence is needed. But no one will want to pay for that.

    If we shut the road off the ' scum' would be irrelevant. We'll, at least until you'd got away from the vicinity of the ground.

    I’m presuming there must be a cost attached to getting by the road closed or the club would ask and make a point of saying the council had refused

    Would be a waste of a phone call, only interested in camera driven trivial motoring offences...

    I take your point mate. But it’s not attempted murder. If he really wanted to cause harm, he would’ve done.

    There's an issue on this road after nearly every single home game. I can't fathom why anyone would want to try and drive up that road on a Saturday tea time when City have been at home. You're pretty much forced to walk on the road up that street because of people parking on the kerb and other obstacles, but the lovely locals of Manningham think nothing of driving up the road at normal speed limit despite hundreds of people congregated and jockying for position.

    Like a lot of situations these days where thousands of people could be inconvenienced because of 1 or 2 planks...

    Look sensible by far!

    The club investigated this a few years but were put off by the enormous cost of having to submit a highway closure proposal with no gurantee that it would be approved by the council.
