And they may well put barriers on just like on the Robin Park site.

Thanks Tony. I'd forgotten about the little footbridge!
Can you delete this thread now before eveyone gets the same idea for parking?

Yes but even if they arrive an hour or more before kick off are the shops going to be full of people between say 6-8pm on a friday evening? so much so that all parking spaces will be filled?

I understood Tony because of the size that opening hours were going to be longer, have you ever been shopping at 7pm on a Friday, No Supermarket is empty as many see it as time when it is quiet and it's not!

Tesco simply can't afford to risk that there car park will be full of rugby fans and deter shoppers, though the traffic around the stadium may on match nights. Annoys me in Newton-le-Willows on a Saturday trying to get a space on Tesco as everyone parks there to go to the market, but I understand that was one of the requirements of the council as it was there land!

Best bet for ease will be the car park at The Raven hotel. Theres a good 30plus spaces walking distance and itll be easier to get away. Multi storey and chalon way will be a nightmarequeing to get out.

I wonder which is the closest boozer to the new ground Raven must be up there.

I wouldn't two-time you sweetheart

The George Hotel on George street isnt far , usually has good german bottled beers , and is a staunch Saints pub , loads of memorabelia and vintage games to watch before the game , what more do you want?

I wasn't talking about Tesco dude, just the Ravenhead retail park i.e. B&Q, Carphonewarehouse etc. It was more theoretical than anything.

Naaargh Firstly i dont wanna queue from the door ,Im with Sporties on this one i noticed your surrupticious 'get a plug in'(bloody nice German beers loool you the George marketing man) for the George,Raven is closer and way bigger lots of space ,bit grubby but not lookin at the decor on match day plus the George would be crammed and queue for beer starting at the entrance door no way ,back to Raven at least there would be pockets of space even if it was packed.All raven needs is a bit o' tlc more pumps and it'll be what the Black Bull was for knowsley road but better Ravens got my vote

Went to Wrexham last year, parked on Homebase car park who were charging 3/4 quid and donating it to charity. Excellent PR.
