New safety measures around Molineux starting v Villa

"The new measures will feature road closures at several sites around Molineux as follows:

Waterloo Road

Will be closed from the roundabout leading to ASDA up to the traffic lights at Newhampton Road from 90 minutes before kick off, up until a period at the discretion of the Matchday Safety Officer at the end of the game. (expected to be between 15 and 30 minutes).

Molineux Street at the junction with Camp Street and Sir Hayward Way/Sir Jack Hayward Way opposite the Stan Cullis Car Park kiosk/Top of Whitmore Hill

Will be closed from one hour before kick off, up until a period at the discretion of the Matchday Safety Officer at the end of the game (expected to be between 15 and 30 minutes).

Car Parks

Supporters who use the Directors Car Park, Waterloo Road Car Parks will need to have parked their car in advance of 90 minutes before kick off.

Supporters who use the Steve Bull Car Park, Sir Jack Hayward Car Park, the Wanderer Car Park and University Car Park will need to have parked their car in advance of 60 minutes before kick off.

Supporters who use the Whitmore Hill Car Park will need to have parked their cars in advance of 30 minutes before kick off.

Supporters who use the Stan Cullis Park will be able to park up until kick off but are advised to arrive early.

All of the above car parks will remain closed at the discretion of the Matchday Safety Officer at the end of the game (expected to be between 15 and 30 minutes).

Redhill Street and Birch Street Car Parks remain unaffected by the new measures.

Drop Off Points

Spectators who used to be dropped off either down Waterloo Road or Molineux Street will now no longer be able to do so based on the time limits of the road closures."

Yes this is me and always will be from now on.

Good to have the real Frank back.

Hmmmm

What about the bus stops for about five different services that are outside the Billy Wright? For instance, where does the 4 get re-routed to?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Down Stafford Street probably.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I was thinking down Newhampton Road, turn right at the car dealers in Whitmore Reans and back to fiveways might work.

 

[Kenny]

Wolves are releasing a FAQ on this, so you would think the bus details will be included in that

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I would hope so. Far as I can see it just gives me a MONSTER excuse to go to the Bo after a game as the 6 will be the nearest bus as it regularly goes down Newhampton road and would be even more rammed than fucking usual on a matchday if the 4 is directed elsewhere.

 

[Kenny]

In that case the Bus you catch will now 100% be diverted via the Boh on match day

 

[Keef]

Cue loads of angry tossers in cars moaning in the express and star that they either
A. Couldn't get into the car parks,because they arrived after the closures
B. Couldn't get out the car parks because of poor people who don't have cars walking about after the game

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Fool's errand trying to drive away from the ground immediately after full time anyway. You go absolutely nowhere for ages.

I remember one of the first ever games I went to on my own, Sunderland at home, February 98. My Dad picked me up on the Asda carpark. We've never done that again.

From the Steve Bull car park if you drive up Camp Street you can get out pretty quick.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I park on my brother in laws Unit opposite the billy wright statue. I get straight on and pretty much straight off every game. His business is open on Saturdays so how can they close it off?

 

[Tony Towner]

I assume permits could be applied for by people who can demonstrate a genuine need with no alternative available route

 

[StuardoWulf]

Why is it all necessary, not that it will effect me as me and my lot use the bus on matchdays for the purpose of drinking. Have there been accidents or is it akin to the announcements to be careful when its wet walking. I know some drivers and pedestrians seem to get quite angry at each other up behind the southbank. No one is really gonna wait ages to leave so the plan is to force traffic away from the ground. My advice get bus, drink a couple before and a few after miss all the traffic enjoy while we've got football worth watching till Nuno goes to Barca and we fail to retain the premiership crown.

I presume that the club have looked into the risk of somebody thinking its a good idea to drive at speed at crowds of people and have decided to take appropriate safety precautions.

 

[Kenny]

Club and the council. Council be installing new barriers outside Molineux in the new year

I read this in a pirate accent and it did make me laugh.
