Awww bless, it thinks it's AP...

And it's "Your" by the way.

Kittens ?

I suspect it's Wheels's version of Mrs Lovejoy's "won't somebody please think of the children.." line from The Simpsons?

I think you mean

either/or

You might not be able to park your car round the stadium or the surrounding headingley area soon when the residents parking scheme with timed parking restrictions comes into force shortly certainly before the start of next seasn - as a previou post mentioned about moving to yeadon due to living nr the stadium he can now go park there and walk to the ground on match days

So glp, the whole sorrounding areas in Headingley are gonna become resident parking only?

Wow. Thats alot of street parking gone.

Was there cake at these Evenings?

Some of the students at the institution i work at are bad enough at applying for their student loans [which can net them £3000 go] let alone parking permits.
Can't see someone being able to take the time to enforce it either.
The game would be over by the time they issued fines or clamps.

There'll be loads of space!

People can park outside o' my house any way. Ill sweep it clean and everything.

I was done at Wakey. Pissing coppers walked past us whilst we were getting out of our car. I suspect they were the ones that issued the ticket!

As for how I get to the ground, I haven't driven to Headingley 'for years' and I use either public transport or taxis to get close enough. One of the main reasons that some of us would like facilities in the ground that would allow having a good sit down for a couple of hours both before and after the game is to help lesson some of the immediate post-match congestion around the stadium.

Clearly the parallels of moving close to an international airport, one that's been an active airfield since at least WW2 and those that choose to complaint about a major sporting venue active since 1890 on their doorstep has, like the planes at Yeadon, gone over your head. If you don't like crowds, then why move close to it the first place ?

NIMBY parking schemes solve nothing except move the problem to someone else's neighbourhood, you've still got the same number of cars to park - they'll just park in someone else's street - end result for easing traffic congestion, reducing pollution and increasing usage of public transport - NIL.

Its rather like successive governments attempting to control vehicle usage by increasing motoring taxation, it simply doesn't work.
