At the old Craven Park there was a large car park that was available to both home and away fans, whoever got their first, as is the new Craven Park. We got to Headingley lastnight at 5.30 hoping to go in and watch the reserves play, the car parks were all nearly empty at that time.
Also at the old Craven Park the surrounding streets weren't for permit holders only. Thankfully we found some street parking.
I wasn't having a go, was simply saying that perhaps some of the large parking areas could be given over to away fans. My family have been coming to Headingley since the late 70's and always enjoy our visits, although we prefer it when it's dry
