Dont forget though that there were only 6000 turning up at Widnes every week. Parking at Knowsley road was a doddle when there were only 6k on the ground, it was once you got upto 9-10k that it could start to get awkward, and when playing Wigan or Wire, well it was just logjam for upto 30 mins after the match.

Next season we will have double the 6k. Though hopefully many will use public transport or walk to the ground.

WTF indeed. Why are the club putting Chalon Way down as a car park, if the bloody thing will be closed for the match? Short sightedness from the council?

Most of the surface parking is on the other side of town isn't it? That's no good for any older or disabled supporters.

2,500 Car Parking spaces at Wigan.

And one road for them all to get out = logjam again

You can get to the bus station from almost every part of the town, direct. No changes of bus or any messing about. There is also a train station close and another one not that far away just across Sherdley park.

Therefore I suspect a much higher proportion than what is typical at most grounds will be happy using public transport. Most sporting grounds are not this close to the town centre public transport links.

It's not a battle of who has the most car parking spaces or which ground you have the shortest walk from the car! sometimes it is like the school play ground LOL!

I keep saying I heard that Langtree had identified some more land on the site and they were looking to make it
into a pay to park site if this happens then everyone will be Happy!

I am not familiar with the area around the new ground living where I do.

Probably need to make a visit before the season starts to identify potential parking areas

If I were you I would believe the Saints on this point. They have stated all along that the Chalon Way multistorey will be in use for matches and, since they have been in communication with the Council over this stadium for ten years now, my own inclination is to go with what Saints say rather than a random poster on an Internet message board!

I wonder if they may be using the old Tesco car park instead of the multi storey?

Actually I`ve now realised I can take advantage of a great parking spot 5 mins walk away.

After years of walking to the game its going to be weird driving to most home games.

I believe St Joes is having a refit which may be a beer option on that side.

Any truth in the rumour that Weatherspoons have bought it?

Let's just see eh?

Until we actiually have a game, and people find a good parking spot or experience the getting to or leaving of the area NOBODY will know if its easy or a nightmare so why not drop these opinions (and thats all they are , opinions) until we KNOW how easy or hard it will be!
