Superally Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Not for the first time the Police were noticeably absent at stopping the traffic on Halbeath Road at FT. I saw one person nearly being hit by a car and there is a serious risk of someone being seriously injured. I think we need to know why the Police were not managing this as this is a safety issue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digs Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Agreed. Although you have to be a special kind of moron to drive along Halbeath road at 4.45pm on a Saturday and just keep driving as several thousand people spill out into the street.

Rossmcno1 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 There was an absolute tube driving at a fair pace west along halbeath road tooting his horn too while at it while crowds coming out. For as long as I’ve been going to games, Halbeath road has been shut for 10 minutes to let crowds clear. Why the change? Will it take some poor bugger to get injured before they realise this is serious? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were wide pavements, I could almost understand it, but on the residential side, you can walk two abreast at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Still amazes me how many people decide to come along Halbeath Road at 450pm on a Saturday and then sit utterly ****ed off that they are caught in a jam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be havering, but I think the polis were diverting traffic via Garvock Hill after both the Falkirk and Airdrie games. Obviously not worth it when there's such a tiny number of visiting fans. 🤔 If anybody has a better explanation, let's have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Football isn’t the centre of everybody’s world in fairness. The vast majority of the population couldn’t give a hoot and I guess if there’s no police diverting the traffic they may be completely unaware there’s a game even on until it’s too late.
