I think £4 is peanuts if it means my car is safe and secure. Obviously I'd rather pay nothing, but I wouldn't cry at £4.

If your driving then you shouldn't be drinking beer so that argument shouldn't be an issue. If it's a car with multiple occupants then the whole price of petrol and parking would still work out cheaper than public transport you bunch of whingeing feckers!!!!!!!

You must have plenty of money to throw away



I think you could safely put your car on the TC's car park for free and walk from there.

Thanks for the info Iain i guess its a non-starter then

Pity really. It was the first thought a few of us had when the move was first mentioned.

could use canoes



just completed the survey, as the crow flies I am about 2 miles away, using public transport i am 4 0r 5 miles away.

Give me a shout when you find one with a bar on board.

I think the idea of a park-and-ride is a good one, but it should be close to a rail station so it can serve two purposes.
Don't know the area well enough to know whether such a site exists though??

£2 to park-and-ride or £5 to park at the stadium should encourage enough people to use the facility without clogging up stadium car parks, whilst allowing the club to make money out of those who choose to take the easy/lazy option.

they seem keen to promote cycling , is it a velodrome or a rugby stadium?
if I were Bradley Wiggins I'd have to think twice

Can't help but agree we don't need any extras added to the price of attending matches our support is dreadful without more obstacles.

There will be lots of car parking space this should be used to encourage people to attend the game.

Incentive/Marketing tool/Promotion

But who gets the revenue from car parking charges?

As I understand it the club get the ticket revenue, but I'm guessing the stadium owners get the car park income so no incentive whatsoever for them to do tat for free

I think the heads of all concerned partys would need to get together on this and good sense would prevail, like in the case of Swinton precienct where it became neccassary to bring back free parking as it became a ghost town.

Either way I 'll not be paying an extra four quid on top of my Barton experience.
