Motorcyclists after the match

[Far Canal]

As a motorcyclist myself, I am frequently embarassesd after matches when I take my place on the starting grid behind the barrier outside the car park by the mega store and see other bikers and scooter riders obstructing the pavement and the zebra crossing where people are trying to walk.

This situation reached a new low today when, apart from the usual number of pedestrians gesturing to riders that they were getting in people's way, a lady with a disabled child in a motorised wheelchair could not cross the zebra without two bikers (one of them me) backing up to give an idiot who had ridden across the pavement room to manoeuvre out of the way.

I think it is about time the club took some action over this situation.
Surely he easiest solution is to let the bikers out before the cars and not keep them back for 20 minutes after the match.
This, no doubt, will not happen due to the supposed risk of two-wheeled traffic mixing with large numbers of pedestrians, but if the club have a better answer, presumably in the form of improved stewarding, then it's time we saw it.

I also think some of the motorcyclists ought to watch their speed. Every week there are riders that go steaming down the dual carriageway towards the M4 when little kids have barely got over the crossing.

It's 40 mph down that stretch isn't it? After every game I see idiots on bikes doing well in excess of 60 on that bit.

Granted people shouldn't be in the road but if they haven't quite got to the other side before the light is flashing amber, riders should not go racing off like that. Only takes one person to step into the road or lose their footing & they'd be toast.
