Keel Crossing [opened 18.10.25] - compendium thread

[Zweiguys]

I wasn't going to bother but am now having second thoughts. It's not exactly handy for our pre-match pub (The Cambridge at Roker) but I'm now thinking about going a lot earlier than usual and parking in the town so I can walk owa the new bridge.

Be honest with yourself. You’ll just stay in the pub that much longer.

 

[Boredom]

Nerves are kicking in now.

Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll find the bridge uplifting

 

[Zweiguys]

To anyone using the new bridge, I'll be standing on the Wearmouth bridge between 2-3 giving out free waves

What will you be wearing? How will we know it’s really you?

I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to the history of our town and riverside. There had t been a new crossing before the spire bridge for a long time. There won’t be another anytime soon now so it is a bit of history. It links our club more directly with the city centre. It’s took an unreal amount of time since vauxies closed but it’s finally starting to be something we were promised when it shut decades ago.

I am enthused by the new riverside developments. However the actual access to the riverside walk past the wearmouth bridge being shut for the best part of what feels like forever and the fact that the scenes around the pallion giant tweezers bridge still looks like a post apocalyptic hell hole don't inspire me it'll be done any time soon. I had high hopes, and still do, that the actual riverside areas could be made as beautiful as st peters area, on both sides, but seems like that isn't priority and if it does ever happen it will take years and years. I'd hoped that would be extended past whre it was previously but i guess we'll see if that's happened in 2035

Don’t be a span-ner….. see what I did there?

 

[bunnyrabbit]

Not sure if I am using it now. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Is the suspension not getting to you?

It’s definitely not went smoothly at all like and more needs doing. I think I was still in school when vaux shut I’m now 43 it’s definitely been slow moving. It’s just nice to finally see some movement and the stuff around the Sol if it all pans out is great for the city.

Nothing

 

[Sleepy]

Where’s easiest to park next to it? Don’t mind the cost, just convenience please!

 

[diggers22]

I’ll use it when I get back from Rhodes. By the way. Anyone know where the match is on in Pefkos?

 

[T S Garp]

Anyone in Keel Square now? Is it busy?

 

[Zweiguys]

Nothing

Booking a flight asap. Hang around as long as you can, I may be a bit late.
Cheers

500 people queuing up at the bridge waiting for the 1.30 opening so far

Where you're going, you don't need bridges

See thats the kind of thing I don't get. Why the fuck would people queue just to be one of the first over a bridge that thousands have already been over (and no one would care if you were first anyway). Just go to the pub and walk over it when you actually need to cross

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

We all know who it is. The police need to take action as its vandalism and costing the council fortunes to remove

I've noticed he's started to use a strong yellow adhesive to stick them to roads signs and whatnot now. They're a bugger to get off and leave a right mess when you do. He should be locked up in Cherry Knocker or wherever they put them nowadays.

Do the initials ll ring a bell?

As I suspected.
Lillian Laslandes is behind this.

Because people can do what they want I suppose.

Traffic cam right next to crossing, will updated every few mins when refreshed. I think it may rotate also
