Sacked it off, ridiculous

 

[Violet Club]

Advertised as opening 13:30, total shit show. Loads of people crowded waiting

 

[jayjaysafc]

15 minutes late man ffs

 

[Longy]

Actually very surprised at the amount of people I’ve seen say they’ve never been or only been once or twice into the city centre on a matchday. Just shows what a game changer this bridge is going to be.

Been a season ticket holder since ‘92. I’ve been to the town about 5 times for home matches. Strippers when I was young & had no sense.

Town is ridiculously busy, popped down BHV to avoid the new bridge prematch and actually get served. Queues in KT were at the doors at 12.30 so swerved it

 

[Useful_Idiot]

Nobody by the looks of it. Opens half 1 but nobody can walk over coz of the forced parade

 

[SurreyMackem]

The official "opening" was 1.30 but the "walk over" is at 2

 

[0321safc]

did it open 1:30 then?

 

[Linus]

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

Pride in the city? A sense of occasion?

WTF is wrong with you?

 

[Violet Club]

did it open 1:30 then?

Nope

 

[Flavonoids]

No way that it should have been delayed this long.

Over to you Starmer.

 

[turnthetide3]

I'll have reservations, but will soon get over it.

 

[0321safc]

Nope

Bloody hell. Think I will just do wearmouth bridge. The first over it will be taking photos etc. will be a knock on effect.

 

[0321safc]

Surely people going over as we speak?

 

[matt228]

To be fair, it opened at about 1.50 and it was a decent atmosphere.
