Taxiway Golf work in progess

I should think ATC at BRS will be relieved at the iminent reinstatement of taxiway Golf. Witnessed a Thomas cook A320 backtrack after landing then take taxiway Foxtrot to vacate the runway instead of Delta. Tower advised him to keep moving in case he sank.The other week saw an Easy jet A319 miss taxiway Delta and brought to a halt before it could use Foxtrot,tower had to get a ASU vehicle to turn him on to the western apron and back on to Delta.In the mean time a log jam developed behind. Don't know if the boys and girls in the tower do juggling in their spare time,but certainly had their work cut out at the busy times doing pushbacks,clearances,landings,take offs and the constant questions about slot times.If 2007 turns out to be busier then 2006 I would have thought a ground controller will be a must at peak times.
