No it doesn't. Although I'll be taking the bus for the next couple of home games I'll be interested to hear how well enforced the parking restrictions are around Clayton Lane. You wouldn't mind parking there on Sunday would you and let me know if you get a ticket. Same again for the Villa game, will help me with my future planning.

Was looking at the Co-Op events page today… realised that on the last game of the season against West Ham 16:00 kick off (potential trophy lift or a lap of honour at least) so realistically we will be leaving 18:30-19;00

The same night is a Barry Manilow concert at 19:30 at the co-op - that is going to be utter chaos around the ground with on-street parking changes as well



Looks like the Wolves game also clashes with a Olivia Rodrigo concert

A Barry Manilow crowd will love 50k football supporters piling out the stadium when they are going in,
there will also be no stadium parking for them as it will be full,
how is it we can see the chaos thats going to ensue but the powers that be cant ???

How about bringing Barry on for the half time entertainment ? Couldn’t do any worse;)

Seriously though we shouldn’t be surprised . The government and local councils are run by useless fucking idiots with no vision or strategic direction.

I give you HS2.

I thought what a fantastic idea will be great for the area etc when it was announced ,

I now think it’s the worst idea,

In a couple of year there could be 80k + visitors on the site WHEN there is a clash, plus stewards,concessions staff etc,

That’s becoming like Wembley numbers

There is a single line metro that runs, space for 500-600 cars ish and is 20 minutes walk into town,

Oh don’t forget the 250 bike rack spaces –(come on who the fuck gets a bike to a football match or concert).

And next to no parking anywhere else.

What can possibly go wrong.

You are also going to have roads closed after game to get the fans safely out whilst the Manilow concert goers are trying to get in (I’m assuming the majority are going to be the older generation and not frequent visitors to the stadium or the parking situation - it truly is going to be laughable)

"Oh Rodri,
you came and you scored us a worldie,
on that night in Turkeyyyyy, oh Rodri"


I'd listen to him sing that.
 
Spoke with one of the stewards at a recent game and there is an agreement in place for when there is a game and an event on. The car park gets split 50:50 apparently. Not sure how they'll control that personally.

Think the clashes where we're leaving and the event crowd arriving will be worst - 4.30/5.30 kick offs. Maybe night games everyone arriving at the same time too.
 
So this pretty much guarantees that anyone heading up from London (so pretty much the entire away support at least) will have to drive. Add minimal local public transport options with it being Easter Sunday and what a perfect time to introduce all of the additional parking restrictions for the first time. Brilliant.

You don't think that fans being forced to travel to games in a different way than they have for over 20 years is worthy of discussion? Or are you just surprised this has caused some discontent as you believe all change is for the best and should be embraced?

Who was telling anyone to travel a different way, just pay to park, job done.
