Does a small anticipated crowd for Springboks v Japan on Saturday justify full road closures?


With a full road closure in Wembley Park scheduled for 12 noon to 7.40pm for the Springboks v Japan match at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, despite a smaller than usual anticipated crowd, a Wembley resident has contacted Wembley Matters to ask if this disruption is necessary:

It would seem we having full road closure when they anticipate only 15-20,000, what nonsense is this.  With only 12,500 for a full Arena maybe they will start closing the roads for Arena events?  20,000 is well under the 50,000 and should not be considered a major event to close all the roads.

As a cosequence of the road closures bus routes will be disrupted or curtailed.

  1. Buses are already messed up with the road works by Affinity Water in Harrow Road starting - rolling roadworks will see temporary traffic lights and one side of road closed from Crawford Avenue to Butlers Green from now until April 2026!!!

    Once again the coldest darkest time of the year for these roadworks which will affect everyone particularly commuters but hey let's not do them in the summer or it will inconvenience Wembley Stadium concert goers :(

    1. Does it not occur to you that they have other considerations to be contending with? So narrow minded and constantly moany. If they didn’t do these works you’d be moaning then too!
