Quote: reds_boy "I was working on the carpark last night, and your ignorance and the ignorance of many many other fans is unbeliveable. how can you blame the attendants ? there is one entrance and exit out of the ground which is controled by traffic lights joining liverpool road. the ground safety officer gives the order the close the car parks at full time to stop idiots like last night driving like to$$ers across the pavement infront of the reception to get out faster. the carparks are still not finished yet, which again isnt the attendants fault. cones,chains and tape are in place to everyone in order and going out one exit. but the braindead people rip them down and make their own exits cutting in on others. making the whole situation worse. we only do our job the best we can to make up for the mistakes of planners and retard fans.'"
Firstly I thought that the parking on Friday night was an improvement over previous nights.
I have a season pass for the car park and have
never been directed to the same area twice and on Friday night we were directed to the land adjacent to where the coaches pick up, near to the outside pitches, it was the mud bath earlier in the season.
We watched all the match, ambled slowly to the car park, drove out and was back in Walkden for 9.55pm.
As one who has been in correspondence with the stadium company over the matter the following points are relevant-
It would appear that the car park stewards are being given different instructions each week and it is this that causes some of the problems.
I have
never had a problem with the lights on the A57 on exiting the stadium site.
Anyone driving in the manner that you have witnessed should be stopped and reported, there does seem to be enough stewards to do this.
The way that the system has been set up with tapes that appear to change each match,cars being directed away from the area that the drivers have been told to park in, and the stadium being new has caused some of the problems.
If the area available for parking was closely looked at and the correct traffic flow was adopted it would make things better for all concerned.
Why is the stadium website stating that there is no cash parking when there is?
Why aren't the stewards issued with some decent torches until some lights are erected?
Lastly your comments about some fans are way off the mark and a possible change of career may be advisable.
