According to some, all decisions made that affect the Greater Manchester area are attributable to Burnham, particularly any that conflict with the views of your average Daily Mail reader. He's fast become another whipping boy (a la Gary Lineker or Carol Vorderman) for those with right wing leanings. Still, as I always say, why let facts get in the way of a good story.The new parking scheme is nothing to do with Andy Burnham, its down to the City Council and believe it not, Manchester City FC who, I understand are funding the full cost of the new restrictions.
There limited parking for stewards at the ground, like you say many used to park there, it goes to add hours to their day if they say park at Ashton to get in and get home, for minimum wage! I expect they’ll struggle even more for staff as they have since Covid.I'll be over from the coast for an 11.00 appointment in Ashton on Wednesday so will be testing out the tram from there.
Looking like parking is getting tighter and my spot on Grimshaw Ln is now/about to be fucked.
Makes you wonder where all the Stewards are going to park....big queues getting in as nobody to wave wands about?
Walk? Are you insane?Sorry all in advance, but apart from disabled individuals, wouldn’t it be in everyone’s interests to walk to the ground and back to Manchester for heath reasons? I know the neighbourhood isn’t the best and it’s often tipping it down, but a mile walk there and a mile walk back isn’t going to kill you.
Sorry my friend but juvenile name-calling says more about you than the poster. I could drive to and from the game but choose instead to take the train into the city centre, have a couple of beers and walk to the stadium. For anyone who is reasonably fit and has a reliable public transport link into town, it's no hardship and helps to reduce congestion on the roads for those who have no choice but to drive. In the context of this debate, it's an entirely reasonable suggestion and certainly not one deserving of ridicule.you should post more often................clown
There might become a black market in exemption passes that locals could get. Might be cheaper than the official car parks too.
another clown.....who rattled your cage and why should I , or anyone, go into town? Why should I go drinking?Sorry my friend but juvenile name-calling says more about you than the poster.

Right wing? Daily Mail readers? oh dearAccording to some, all decisions made that affect the Greater Manchester area are attributable to Burnham, particularly any that conflict with the views of your average Daily Mail reader.

I think many people would have counted themselves out at “reliable public transport link”Sorry my friend but juvenile name-calling says more about you than the poster.

Well, that's me told. Sorry Dad.another clown.....who rattled your cage and why should I , or anyone, go into town? Why should I go drinking?
Think before you post.
Unless you’re an MP :-)And they’ve put them where nobody’s watching over them. If you’re more than 5 miles away, cycling to the game in our climate is going to be uncomfortable as you will be either soaking wet or sweating cobs. When I cycled 10 miles regularly to work I had showers and a change of clothes at the other end as I’m pretty sure my work colleagues wouldn’t have wanted me sat next to them all day in dirty lycra.
Listen Mr Kippax Pete. We don't all fucking live in town.Walk? Are you insane?
; )
You can't...Many residents in the area have registered 'family and friends' for additional permits from day one. Already a healthy market. ;-)
Dad? Thought playground name calling was below you nobby?Well, that's me told. Sorry Dad.
How can I argue with such compelling logic?

Yes but he's suggesting we ALL do it. Young fit people maybe it's ok for.I do it all the time as my lad lives in town , and to be fair seems like a lot of others do too, it not a bad walk and if you see away fans you can have good banter .
You can't get trains home from night games as that's the only time I use my car going to be testing against Burnley .Sorry my friend but juvenile name-calling says more about you than the poster.

It's hit and miss.....lots of signs have been revealed but some haven't like near Clayton lane etc and Ashton New Road but I'm sure they will follow suit shortly.A bit late to this, are the new restrictions now in force? I usually park near Aldi going towards Ashton but that will be swallowed by the new restrictions
You can't...
