Hi, we are travelling down on Sunday by car and having read all of the above, I am a bit concerned about using this car park, although we never had problems other years. Can anyone recommend any other parking areas within walking distance of the ground?

Haven't heard of any trouble from our last home game, plus this next game will be during daylight hours.

Glad I do not come by car......to 'claimed crime free' LB Richmond....however, think the Club needs to place a 'statement' both on this Forum and on it's web-site today regarding the charges and 'security' stewarding on the various car parks serving the Stoop.

At least to reassure Hull KR and future visiting fans that their cars will be looked after when they park in the 'official' nearby car parks and that any damage/theft is fully covered by QRL insurance. After all Richmond is an upmarket borough and should not get a name for 'matchday' parking problems.....like some clubs in the 'heartlands' have.......no name, no pack drill!!

Things get nicked from cars all the time.

Sorry should have posted this earlier.
The club responded to my e mail by claiming that following the thefts and
criminal damage at the Hull game that they would be posting stewards to
cover the Rosebine from opening right up to the final whistle on match day.
Prices are £3, £5 or £8 depending on numbers in the car and not £5 across
the board as has been charged to my knowledge previously this term.
Those parking can also now expect to receive a ticket as receipt of payment.
(not match ticket )

I was also told that parking in the main stadia area was possible for non corporate types and Gold season ticket holders within half hour of the start of
the game, subject to availability.

So was the Heneiken cup fixture though which did not prevent a theft
from occuring.
