    Do you mean on match days or on a permanent basis? If permanent then I can not see the council going for it, especially with the tip located on there. They like to have access from both ends so wagons can get easy access

    It sounds like a great idea for preventing irresponsible parents from parking in dangerous positions near to schools. But it suggests a restriction on parking rather than a road closure per se since residents, business owners and others continue to have access. Simply swapping 'schools for 'stadium's suggests that it will therefore only impact on those few hundred fans whose cars are parked on Midland Rd on matchdays. It doesn't sound much like closing MR and using the road area as a fan zone with food outlets, beer stalls, tables etc if access for residents is still to be allowed.

    I meant permanently permenant. ;)

    And, despite the fact a through road is not needed, I agree that the Council would probably not go for it.

    Why not use one floor of the suites in the Sunwin?, At present one floor is for corporate and dining and the lower floor is open to suite members only that provides bars, TVs and a catering unit for pies and chips etc, Why not make this the fan zone with food,stalls, Tvs, Music and Bars, Instead of the few 25 yr season ticket holders who get free access and a few who pay around £120 year it could be packed and take a lot of cash for the club and give supporters a meeting place even when poor weather, In good weather could be extended to beer and food outlets in the car park behind the Sunwin (directors can park elsewhere on those days)

    Not sure how many pay but I believe it has seating for 600. I use the suites and it is lucky if a quarter full and very few pay for access or use the bars and food it is just somewhere to wait or meet pre match, Carlisle have something similar in the main stand and because free access with ST or a match ticket is very very busy with the bars and food section very busy selling good beers etc,

    Looks impressive. Interesting to see what we come up with in comparison.

    It was like a Grand Prix rat run on NON match days when we left Bradford nearly 30 years ago!
