Way down the Dock Road past Bankhall, in streets that have no residents and businesses that are closed evenings and weekends.

I understand the preference for public transport, but the councils best effort seems to be a ‘fan zone’ of temporary barriers at Sandhills. They are assuming Sandhills will only be used by supporters heading north, and anyone else will walk into town.

I was prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to them, in that maybe they want to see how it all works before making it permanent, but they haven’t said anything to that effect in the face of some pretty fierce criticism.

We’re going to give the soccerbus from the Strand a shot tonight and see how that goes.

Enjoy it, everyone that’s lucky enough to be going!
