It was nothing at all to do with the club, it was a decision made by the Stadium Management. As I said on a previous thread it's well worth buying a car park season pass along with your season ticket. It costs £39 and covers ALL games.

Park on the surrounding streets in Newtown and walk in.
Back in the 80's / 90's we regularly got crowds upwards of twenty five thousand without the use (or need) of an official car park.

Re: Golden Gamble Ticket, Pie, Pint, Program - All these are optional so whats the harm? To keep costs down I eat before going to a match, but I buy a pint. I have a flutter on the golden gamble but give the programs a miss. Its all choice.

Is there even one other Super League club who offer free parking? I can't think of any. Just park a bit further away for free and walk like I do if it bothers you that much

Park on Frog Lane and walk - you'll probably get away from the game quicker than on an official car park!
Ditch the pie and a pint - you shouldnt be drinking and driving anyway.....
Dont buy a programme.
Dont buy a golden gamble ticket.

Just saved you around £15. Over 13 home games, thats £165, which should go a long way towards your 2015 ST.

Well we are 15 years later so "set time" is up I guess.

The underhanded introduction of the £5.00 charge is truly been missed on this thread. The broken promise of the availability of this free parking is been missed by this thread. Once again those who have the power to take something away have won the day. No honour , no empathy with those they exploit and the march of human greed is accepted with just a shrug of the shoulder . I despair
