It will be 30 mins walk to park almost 2 miles away for most, it will end up the other side of Oldham Road most likely, pushing the issues further away.About three years ago the council introduced a larger residents only parking scheme
Because of the new arena and lack of car parks as so many have gone since covid, there's a survey gone out to more areas with the suggestion of even wider residents only parking
If/when introduced it will become almost impossible to park anywhere near the stadium unless you arrive three hours before the game and stump up at least a tenner
Someone on a earlier thread said "aren't they building a new multi-storey" completely not getting the point. 90% of people avoid official close car parks like the plague, you pay for a massive delay, and a multi-storey costing £15 for a 90 mins delay holding 1000 cars when 5000 spaces are lost does nothing to mitigate the issues for those who currently park 6 - 9 furlongs away, with a 1 mile exclusion as the crow flies meaning 1.5 miles and then only if you are 90mins early.
I think when it does come in people either find a way to make it work or pack in the next season. This will be the end for a few thousand in terms of season tickets.
