Matches Development in BBL: Match Day Impact

[Northstandboy]

If you often cut through Spindlebury Park, it looks like access will be stopped for the redevelopment.

Meaning ALL fans will have to carry on up the alley way, which leads into Knights Road, causing even more pedestrian congestion!

 

[Oxymoron]

We need a bridge - why isn't the council insisting on this.....

 

[Concretebob]

Another reason why we have to move

I suppose if we were staying they might have made the access better for match day, it’s probably adequate for those visiting Vue, bowling etc.

There is one already, otherwise our feet would get wet crossing the brook.

The fencing is all up now so you cannot walk over the park.

It was but a group of lads kicked it down so open again

Yes very handy, fair play to them!

Took 30 mins from my seat in the North Stand to the end of the alleyway on Knights Rd!

imagine this sort of crowd week in week out!

took longer from fence end SSL on a walking stick-, approx 35 mins- not helped by a huge amount 'construction site security' in riot gear along the alleyway, restricting the crowd egress

Is the fencing still up, or can you cut across now?
If access is still restricted, what's the best way from BBL to the Stadium?

Fencing is still up ( being used as a clothes line at the last home game) and the contractors have ensured the cut throughs/ cut across exits are no longer usable by bulldozing 10ft plus high bounds across where the cut through /across paths/ exits were

Theres just the narrow alleyway from the steps/ ramp behind north stand to the top end of knights road... which is very slooooow moving post match

At least you won’t have the whole Thames valley police force giving you a guard of honour as you exit through the narrow alleyway unlike at the Reading game

 

[Essexyellows]

Like March of the Penguins....

Anyone know what construction they’re actually doing in the park? Bloody great mountain of soil by the footpath.

Thanks.
So should the path that I've highlighted blue be open this Saturday?

Yes and it’ll be very quiet as a lot of us will be in Portsmouth.

All that area will be houses. So the cut through will be gone until at least the houses are built. Not sure if post build there will be access to the Kassam from that area, or still via the alley.
