    Good to see the investment of the businesses in the Stables being rewarded.

    If this regeneration continues Sunderland is going to be one fantastic city. All I would say to the people of Sunderland is please please please do not put this incredible regeneration at risk next year.

    Excellent leaving the ground and heading towards the university. No bottle necks like there is in Hay Street and at the end of the Wearmouth Bridge and got back to the car quicker than I usually would do. It's a 10/10 from me.

    I felt sorry for the cars waiting at the zebra crossing near the Bridges
    It was just a constant stream of supporters from the new route - that'll teach them <laugh>

    Aye, we were one of them :cheesy: As the lights turned green people still ambling across looking at the cars as if they shouldn't be there <laugh>
    A footbridge would be better as I am sure some car drivers will not be as patient as my son <confused>

    I said when this crossing was proposed they'll need to police this situation.

    That's a road that attracts a lot of traffic moving at some speed. Because there's a series of crossings, roundabouts and traffic lights cars try to get through before the lights change or they're blocked off. When games finish, in particular, you'll have huge numbers of pedestrians hitting that road at the same time. I can see dark and rainy night matches being a problem when people have their heads down and wanting to get out of the cold.

    I'd imagine a large underpass being proposed particularly if there are more concerts and if the SOL expansion is approved.
