EnclosureSurge Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Highlights on C5 show them, not for the first time, jumping on the pitch when they scored (they must've felt more than a bit bunn when the league's rubbishest team then equalised) at Rotherham. Are our stews and Po-lis ready for this on the last day of the season? Possibly both teams may have something riding on the result, almost definitely they will, given their current - but predictable - form (what did they expect, sacking a successful manager and bringing in a failed one, albeit a nice guy and great player?). It'll be a large number of Brummies in attendance, probably down for the weekend, the sun will be out and emotions high. What are the chances that a possible pitch invasion is initially watched and gawped at by both stews and po-lis before action is taken (ie how many times has it transpired just like that?) A&S Constab - are you taking note? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree mate. Much as it pains me to say it I was working in Cardiff one Friday and that evening Wales Rugby were playing at the Millennium and Cardiff were at home to someone or other - TBF it wasn`t Leeds or anyone like that, one of the `lesser` championship sides and I think it was on Sky - but both games went on at the same time and don`t forget there would have been the normal Friday night city centre shenanigins for the Heddlu to deal with as well.

Worth pointing out the 10k starts between 09:30 and 09:54, therefore assuming an average run time of about 1 hour most will actually be looking to head away from teh city centre 10:30-11:00 and so going in the opposite direction.

I think they have a studio show with cameras at all the grounds and just go there if anything important happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED4LIFE Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 1 hour ago, Red Right Hand said: So we now have to factor in a thousand or so cars of run spectators also in the AG area heading for the P&R - not their fault and I`m not having a dig at them as they have every right to follow their sport as I have to follow mine - but BCC deserve their arses kicked.. I`m beginning to wonder if it`s even worth the hassle of going to the game at all if we`re safe by then. Do I want to drive up from Devon and spend as long trying to get to AG and park as it takes me to get to Bristol on the motorway. Maybe get off the M5 at 21 and go through Congresbury etc? That gives you the option of staying on the A370 or heading up onto A38 and coming in on Winterstoke Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We quite often do that when the M5 is chocca with caravans early season but it just seems to take an age to get into Bristol that way - too many 30 limits I reckon.

T As a runner, unfortunately not that simple. The starts are graded and those who have estimated a faster finish time go earlier, so the first (9:30) wave will all expect to be done by about 10:20/10:40 when through the village at latest. The issue is that 10ks attract a lot of first time and fun runners - by nature of that they're slower - and also, start later. The last batch will go off about 10, and will expect to finish at 11.20 at the earliest, and probably in some cases past 12. That'll also be the majority of those on family days out. Sorry, it's screwed all morning and until past kick off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept the road closures will be in place and the various crowds - my point was at least the arrival of the football fans won't coincide with the arrival of the runners. In fact, it is likely at least some runners will be leaving by the time city fans start to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
