Ravenhead retail park (if allowed)
St Helens retail park (if allowed)
Jackson st.
Town centre car parks (free)
Small retail park top of smithy brew.

plenty of parking depends what the police and council do after the first 3 months grace,

Ravenhead retail park (if allowed)
St Helens retail park (if allowed)
Shouldnt think either of these would be allowed
but as was mentioned ample parking either on street nearby or in the car parks provided

to be fair, both retail parks close at 8, so i cant see why there should be a huge issue on friday nights as they are pretty quiet after 7. There's no barriers on Ravenhead, and you can guarantee Burgerking wont complain for one!

I was under the impression that the Tesco car park had been designated as a match day car park.

Only if you want to get clamped.

Tesco customers at other stores normally get 2 hrs free parking so just call in bag of crisps and a can of pop sorted.

It's not policable. I am going to get round this by the Mrs doing her shopping on game day. Provided the traffic situation isn't too tragic, which I fear it will be if there aren't lights on the roundabout. If it's an hour to get away like Wigan was when it first opened I'll have to rethink my options.

Sure I read somewhere that the reason Tesco has such a large car park is to accommodate stadium traffic on match days.

If someone else has read this can they please confirm.

However should they be opened adequate temporary signing will be provided to ensure that spectators are aware of their availability. 7.35 The use of the Council car parks along with the Stadium car parking would equate to a total of 1161 car parking spaces for the proposed development. This is only 38 car parking spaces short of the standards specified by PPG13. 7.36 A Car Park Management Scheme will be developed and implemented at the Stadium to ensure that the supporters do not park within the Tesco car park. The potential for this Scheme is still in the process of being explored. Strict enforcement mechanisms will be in place if the supporters do park in the Tesco car park.

Just seen the latest pics. Very nice indeed. Looks to me like a smaller version of the Riverside Stadium at Middlesbrough.
