Close quarry lane half hour either side of kick off. Open it during the game. Easy. Works at other grounds like Bramhall Lane.

Holding cars back is a good first step, it was only a matter of time before someone would get hurt particularly with the gabitas gate forcing everyone through QL.

Glad the club are acting on this.

John Albanese, who I think runs the Mansfield Police Football twitter account, has further posted on facebook:

the matter was raised at Safety Advisor Group about the restrictions and NCC are looking into it and looking to replace the signage and do some enforcement for those that park/wait to collect on Quarry Lane. It used to be the Police that enforced the restrictions however parking enforcement is now a local authority matter. Hopefully in the next month or two we should see some changes.

Another issue which causes congestion before matches is when cars are allowed to enter through the gates into the car park, only to be told by stewards that it is full. They then spend 5 minutes trying to explain to away fans where they can to go to park. They then have to turn around and leave the ground when everybody else is trying to get in.
Surly it would be Better to have “Stadium Permit parking only” signs along quarry lane ?

No mention of that, so probably no
