I thought i would get some work on the new stadium but we didn't win the contract so i won't be getting a close look as the build goes on

I think we should have move the KC statue onto the new roundabout and a massive red lit up V to light up the sky!!!

Tesco's will probably not allow people onto the site like at Warrington.

To paraphrase myself from the other thread, I believe you can park at Tesco Warrington on matchdays provided you have a permit. The Ravenhead retail park opposite should provide ample parking, so long as they don't try to charge for it, which they inevitably will.

The retail parks will NOT allow match day parking. The wheel clamping companies will already be rubbing their hands, beware.

Unfortunately Rogues is right , NO MATCHDAY parking on the retail parks , i am pretty sure it was mentioned a long time ago maybe even during the planning application as it would have been part of the traffic survey I think , there is ample parking in the multi story car parks also , we have Bickerstaff street parking only a short walk away, and of course the bus station and railway station practically next to the stadium , so there should be no need for people to try their hand on the retail parks.

Most if not all Tesco stores offer 2 hours free parking, you should still be able to get away before your two hours are up. As Tesco control parking using Number plate recognition now so no need to even get a receipt or buy anything it would be very difficult to enforce if you didn't go over the 2 hours stay.
As for the 90 parking spaces for the stadium, that does sound a small amount for the capacity of the stadium, I would have thought you'd need more certainly taking into account spaces for disabled parking right next to the ground.

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Wed Jul 28, 2010 3:21 pm  

Well 90 spaces at the Stadium itself is way more than they have at KR now, and the general public isnt going to be allowed to park there , its only for staff and sponsors , soo as sgtated matchday parking will have to be multi story and street level car parks, which again is way better than parking round the streets round KR

The current Tesco in St Helens has 3 hours free parking at the moment-bet this doesn't carry through to the new one!

I thought it was 2 hours, and also i heard a rumour a few months back that they were stopping this and starting to clamp cars, not sure how true though.
