I think this getting out of the stadium is being over done. It is true there are delays but no more than getting out of Huddersfield, Wigan and St Helens. I live in Bolton and have never been home afetr 11pm for an evening game and that's after dropping a friend off in Salford. Improvement needed but not the major problem being touted.

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg

No they don't, they just want a Sky Sports subscription and a fridge full of cheap supermarket beer. icon_wink.gif

Quote: theredshed "There's plenty places to park around Peel Green or Brookhouse and it's a 5-10 minute walk. The only people who should be parking on the stadium car park are people with walking disabilities or health problems, players, match officials, club directors or corporates who leave an hour or so after the game. If people want to be bone idle and then moan about being sat in slow moving traffic that's their own self inflicted problem.'"


Whilst I agree to an extent, and my massive dislike of queuing means I'd never consider parking at the stadium for a game (If I drive I park a 15 minute walk away and I'm home in 30 minutes), you have to think that if we're targeting people from across Greater Manchester who are not familiar with the area they are going to want convenient parking (at least while they get familiar with the area) that's not going to leave a sour taste from their first experience.

Quote: theredshed "One thing that is glaringly obvious about the location of the stadium is the lack of pubs and take-aways en route. However, I think the Reds have done a great job in marketing the 'fans bar' inside the stadium which works out great because the money is being put back into the club rather than Holts', JW Lees etc.

If someone opened a chippy on Liverpool road they'd make a small fortune... even if they only opened on match days!'"


The club doesn't get the money from the fans bar sales, the Stadium Company do (unless we've negotiated something better since the start of the season) - though it would if the club gets a stake in the stadium. As for a chippy, I can recommend the one behind the Unicorn.

Surely it's public transport links that need to be created as well? Who wants to drive to a game really? It's about having a few scoops with your mates isn't it? As i've already stated on here in the past, Bolton Wanderer's car park used to be an absolute pain to get off, but after a couple of seasons they learned how to manage it and now it's fine. But added to this they have 40 ish match busses every game which are always pretty full, serving about 10 different routes. I think they charge £3 return from anywhere along the route.

The question that needs to be asked is not what suits the existing 2000.
It's not what the existing 2000 feel new supporters should put up with.
And it's certainly not what was good enough in the last century.
We are looking at new supporters.
These days some people want to park at the ground and,like The Reebok,it's much improved at our stadium.
But,some want to use public transport so that needs to be addressed.
So,which part do the Club need to get right ??
Every part.
Give them time and they will.
