The 17 Bus I wonder if it is legal to hold the cars back?? It is said to be illegal to hold away fans in after a game, surely this is basically the same thing??

Dirk Gently Cars certainly were help back yesterday - the problem is that when it's 3-0 with 10 minutes to go so many people leave early that there's a regular stream of cars leaving the car park *before* teh final whistle, which is teh point at which the barriers go up to stop cars leaving the car parks. And, of course, the people who leave a game to get away early are precisely the people who will drive faster to get away early!
Not sure what the answer is, unless it's to stop cars leaving the car parks from 10 minutes before until 15 minutes after the final whistle, and I'm not sure that would be practical.

If it's health and safety or "security" you can do what you like.

Why wouldn't it be practical? Surely health and safety issues genuinely have to be paramount in this particular instance. If someone wants to leave the car park 10 minutes before the end of the game they will just have to park somewhere else if this system is implemented.

Royal Lady :roll: I tried to find that thread, but as it's over a year old, it was difficult to find.
What with this thread, the memorial wall, the lack of a minute's silence and the servers in the concourses still taking an age to serve and/or understand what people want - the club have some serious issues to deal with off the pitch imo.

The reason I questioned whether it would be practical is that you're asking the car park attendants to somehow guess exactly how much extra time the referee is going to add on. It gets even more problematical when you have cup ties with the possibiliy of extra time/penalties.
