As a koppite the fecker had all bases covered.
They were telling people to not use the train pre-match

You just know he’s got a mayoral motif that he’s made himself sewn onto that jacket somewhere. This fella thinks he’s the president on air force one ffs.
Got the train into line street at 1pm with the intention of getting the shuttle bus to the ground.
At ten past one the queues were massive and there was no bus in sight. I looked at it and thought by the time they get everyone on the buses and set off they’ll be very little time to make kick off.
That’s not how a shuttle service works so I decided to walk down. From lime street it took about half an hour.
After the game I tried to get the train but by the time I got to Sandhills it was at capacity and their queue was outside the station so I just walked up near the pits and got the bus.
Utter farce.
They’ve had five years to prepare for this. During that time they could have implemented bus routes going to and from places like bootle and Crosby, and put together an express train service to help with crowding at Sandhills.
Apparently they were checking tickets at sandhills before the game. They’ve already been told not to do this at Kirkdale because of how dangerous it is yet decided to do it today after all the chaos at the first event.
I’m worried about how they manage this with 52k fans after a premier league game. The whole thing is very under prepared.

I do wonder if the club are banking on a lot of people getting to games early to eat etc. and hanging around afterwards in bars in/around the ground to ease congestion at Sandhills. Either way it looks as though people who’re likely paid very handsomely to sort this haven’t done their jobs properly.

I'd be amazed if any of the high profile games aren't played in the second part of the season.
They'll want as much time as possible to iron out the issues. Can you imagine a Derby in September, last minute winner for either side? There will be murder.

5 years to prepare and it’s come down to walking, farcical!
Steve Rotherham hunkered down in the command centre directing traffic is my new favourite thing.
Off camera asking his PA how long it will take coz his missus has got a roast on.

….don’t worry, Rotherham will have everything sorted in advance of his beloved RS first game at BMD.
I’d love the 1878s to start an on-line ‘no-confidence’ petition against Steve Rotherham, he’s losing no sleep because he knows he’s got a cushy job for life.
