If correct £10 to park is a scandal, but to charge disabled drivers I doubt would be legal.

It is quite legal.
My mum has a blue badge, and has always said as long as she gets a priority parking space, she sees no reason why she shouldn't pay.

Tbf, being from Wigan is only a minor disability.

Sale have charged £10 for the car park for the last couple of seasons (added an extra £5 to pay for free shuttle buses to and from the TC) so maybe the stadium just quoted the wrong amount?

The pub now also charge £5 for carpark
on a match day, whether you buy anything or not, but that only started happening recently when they realised the price of the stadium carpark.

There is no legal requirement to provide disabled parking free, just a requirement that they can have the same access as other paying customers; until the start of Sale's season the stadium allowed this for free, but now appear to charge. The reason they gave is the restricted size of the car park now that the development sites around the stadium are in process of sale. The only CP attached to the stadium is the tarmaced one at the front. All the stoned areas are sites up for sale and development.

You are all forgetting , Salford RLFC, have nothing to do with the Stadium.

Buy your tickets in advance , collect in advance and save yourself some money, if i can drive from Derbyshire and do it, other people who live much closer can also do it and stop moaning , and saying the club is ripping you of.

WE Salford RLFC do not own the ground , car park etc .It is owned by the SMC, and they will get as much money out of us and Sale as they can.

Buy tickets in advance, collect in advance, and turn up early and park somewhere else, there is a Pub with food now at the bottom of the road, drink in there and dont give a penny to the SMC if you feel that way apart from what you pay to get in the match.

I do not like it , like everyone else , but there is not a thing we can do about it.

This moaning about the ground has been going on since day one, if you dont like it dont go.

Salford to win by 10 points.

Am I right in reading that you have drove from Derbyshire to collect your tickets from the stadium to save 50p?

That's how I read it.

In an age when all and sundry are encouraged to be eco this, that and the other you'd think that it would be a case of people being charged less if they don't make unnecessary trips.

I'm led to believe there are new fangled inventions called smart phones, surely it should be easy to buy a ticket online, receive an emither with a code on it and and scan it on entry.

There you go problem solved.

I was in Stockport doing some shoping, so killed 2 birds with one stone.

I would rather spend 50p on petrol, than give it to the SMC. If Salford didnt play there i woudnt go anywhere near the place.

I also went there to pick up my season ticket and shirt.
