I'd be happy with that also, but Tarmac and painted bays should have gone in before the fence. It's an even worse version of the Wild West now.

i agree. but i cant see why else they would spend money on the railings unless they are going to charge. and charging assuming a decent managed surface.

I always stay right till the end of the game to applaud the players as they walk around the pitch and I got off car park 4 easier than I normally do. I would ask though that people do allow cars to join the que to get off and don't race to block off gaps so they can save themselves 5 seconds.

Tarmac would be very expensive and would probably make it a pay car park, they should however remove the raised kerb stones as they are dangerous.
We could do with two or three stewards to oversee the car parking and try and make sure no cars are blocked in.
I believe the fence is to keep travellers away from the site as with other measures around the complex.

Apparently if they steward it,then they have to charge.

Confirmed by the club on Twitter that the Stadium Company is now charging for it.

It makes sense to pay for parking on the car park behind the East Stand when you buy your season ticket. I think it was £39 and that includes all home regular season games plus cup ties and playoffs.

Anyone got an alternative that's free to park?

Yes, anywhere near the town Centre and walk.

Anyway... I can't believe that on a match day there's nothing on the forum about the impending game and we are talking about where to park the car?

There's a thread about Joel Tomkins in the 19 squad a few pages down. I can believe it though. The regular round games just don't have the same meaning as they once did.

Now back to the real issue, the club have only been informed this morning about the changes to the parking. Nothing the club can do, the management from Whelan + co though is awful. The car park will be stewarded too.

It was expected once the fence went up, I also expect a few more changes/charges as the parachute money from dropping out the prem will be reduced this year if they get any at all?
