Last updated : 15 September 2005 By Covsupport
West Midlands Police fear that there will a fatality in the near future at the Rowleys Green roundabout unless supporters cross the A444 properly.

The police and other agencies have highlighted concerns that supporters leaving the Arena are completely ignoring traffic signs and risking their lives by diving across the A444 and Rowleys Green roundabout.

The feasibility of a road closure order which will also affect non-football traffic is being investigated and maybe introduced if it is deemed necessary.
