I hope you mention this to our guests at the Forever Reds meeting on Monday.

Daz! I remember before the stadium opened that when I said traffic would be terrible you were quick to say it wouldn't be. Have you know changed your mind on that?

So your saying that at the willows last season the crowd was slightly over 4000. Allowing for the fact the number of Leeds fans would possibly similar then that suggests the additions are all new fans.
Everything is looking rosey then.

Yes 29th July 2011 on a Friday night, official attendance was 4024.

I reckon there could have been more Leeds on Friday compared to last year due to the fact a lot of us came to see the new stadium in the flesh. That was my major reason for coming across and the same reason I am going to Langtree Park next week.

What I said is that it there wouldn't be an issue on the motorway as such, the issue lies in the need for lights on the motorway junction. Install them and think it would diminish greatly. What's causing the problem is that because at that time of night very little comes down the A57 from Irlam to join the M60 anti clock wise meaning the traffic coming down from Yorkshire pretty much always has right of way at the actual roundabout, meaning that those coming from Eccles are waiting for a decent Christian driver to let them out. Traffic management is all that's needed.

Do also think that a shuttle from Eccles would help with traffic flow as you see plenty of cars coming down the A57 from that direction and surely a good number of them would jump on a shuttle if they could, wouldn't be hard for the Willows shuttle to pick up on the way through Eccles - though the legalities of stoppin at a bus stop might make this impossible.
