Concerns have been raised over thousands of fans having to share roads with traffic at full-time.
Football fans in Kilmarnock are being treated as ‘pariahs’ and are being put in danger when leaving Rugby Park according to an East Ayrshire Councillor.
He said: “Having a fairly successful Kilmarnock football team isn’t a bad thing for the town. It seems to me that folk trying attend rugby park are being treated as pariahs and are not wanted there. It is very, very difficult to park near ground.“There is also the safety of fans when they leave the ground. If 8,000 people are coming out of the gate. Then they don’t fit on a pavement, yet when you’re walking up the road the traffic is allowed to drive up the road along the way.
Jane Corrie, Head of Ayrshire Roads Alliance, said that the council had been working with the club to identify areas for off street parking. Cllr McGhee acknowledged the issues that residents have raised, but pointed out that Rugby Park has been there for more than a century.
