| The stadium is in effect as accessible as you make it. I pick two or three friends up then get a cab from Worsley costs a cpl of nicker each.
I think when the new pub/restaurant opens people will feel inclined to get there earlier meaning a more staggered influx of people. One of the issues is the terrible beer/food served means people drink more off site then try and get there a few minutes before kick off.
Does anyone know when the A57 is re routed will there be a bus stop outside the stadium? Might ease the need to suppress the traffic leaving the car parks if people weren't forced too cross it to get to the current stops.

| Quote The Perry Boy="The Perry Boy"From my own personal point of view, I'd have to disagree with that.
I live in Warrington and don't drive, so public transport is my only means of getting to and from the ground.
I get a train from Warrington to Irlam then either the 67 or 100 bus (whichever comes first) from outside the Railway Inn.
All in all the entire journey takes around 30 minutes (that includes a near 10 minute walk from my house to the station).
I find Barton a lot more accessible then The Willows was.'"
To offer a counter-view, at the Willows, after a Friday night game, I'd be home by half 11, 11:45. Now I'm getting home around 1 in the morning.

Erm... I've managed to get home to Blackburn earlier than that, which included swapping trains at Preston to complete my journey so don't quite understand the public transport with the wink bit!!

true, so I will take back my  lol
my reference to driving to Perth was only at the astonishment that I can watch a game, wait for the stadium car park to clear and drive all the way to Perth (over 250 miles away) in little more time than someone getting to Preston...
perhaps when i do take public transport, i opt for the most time efficient options, never mind

| I'm with Perry Boy i can't drive either and come from Warrington and take exactly the same route. Occasionally i'll get a lift but i'm sick of fans saying it takes ages to get out of the stadium etc. Stop making excuses and just go the game most home games are now played on a Sunday so you've got plenty of time to get home and be fresh for work the next day!

| Sundays should take much of the public transport excuse out of the way, especially with lighter days. Out of interest, how are people from places such as Swinton and Walkden finding getting to the ground by public transport? And does it differ much from when we were at The Willows?

| Can't people just get a bus or park further away from the ground.
Out of interest who's not renewing their season ticket next season?

| Brilliant suggestion for Cam and GT.
On the way past Preston on the M6/M61 you could drop GT off, scintillating company and that snug feeling you've helped someone swerve the sheer hell that is public transport.
