Can't believe that some people are surprised by this. How do people expect several hundred cars to exit onto one road without experiencing significant delays?
As stated, Reebok, DW etc takes at least an hour to get from the official car parking areas. It's the same for this stadium and always will be.

From the Willows, I could be back home (In Wigan), in less time than it takes to leave the car park here. If I am eventually drawn back, I will definately be looking for alternative parking.

Tried the park and ride from the Trafford Centre missed the bus by minutes to the ground and had to wait 1/2 an hour for the next one, but on the way out it was on to the bus and out worked a treat all for £2

Have none of you parked at HKR and endured the wait to get out?
It's pathetic calling this a "joke" - yet one more go at the club - so I had to wait about 30 minutes to get out - nobody died!

Not having a go at the club (SCR) as you state, we are told the club have nothing to do with the outside area, also can you let me know what area you park in as it will cut my time in half to get out of the car park.

I am not surprised at all, I am happy with the number of car parking spaces that the stadium has available at present which must be as many if not more than any other Superleague club has.

I am curious in the fact that the absence of any decent signage appears to have been overlooked by the stadium company and five days after I made contact with them with queries /suggestions they haven't even acknowledged my email.

With a little thought and a few signs and some training for stewards the situation could be made much better for all concerned.

I have tried alternative ways of parking, getting to the stadium etc including the shuttle bus from the Willows which was good value and relatively quick but I refuse to submit my wife and grand children to the conduct of half a dozen half wits on the return journey which resulted in 20 minutes of vile obscene chanting and gestures.

When things settle down and the alternative parking etc is used coupled with the Stadium company getting their act together the car parking situation will improve.

Surely it can't be that hard a fix to apply? I mean, I live, relatively speaking,near Rochdale AFC's Spotland Stadium, and post game, they have police at the Cemetry/Edenfield Rd and down Roch Valley way , leading up to the M62....they control the traffic flow by having the lights on permanent red until the majority of traffic coming from the ground has gone....it's a flippin' pain when you get caught in it, but it's over in about ten minutes...[ a bit like Salford's glory ]...I appreciate the planning of a project like this may take more thought, being next to the M60 junction, but c'mon...??? I hate these modern stadiams??] as the access roads and traffic flows are ALWAYS last in the line in the project plan....just sayin'

Don't take it personally. I never got any reply to my question about cycle parking facilities.

On the Motorway in less than 30 mins after the whistle - Home by 10.00

Park on the Unicorn in Peel Green, Not a bad pint and the jukebox plays some top tunes. 10 mins walk from the ground.

As others have said, if your willing to use the things at the bottom or the body and walk a mile up the road, there are plenty of spaces at places like the unicorn, eccles RL or even just in the local streets. You could see it being an issue from the first time when the kids played. Plus getting to the place in the first instance can be a nightmare.

I have parked on gorton street the first time but since have used the unicorn, had a quick pre-match drink and the pub have had no problems with me parking there (for free i may add but i did ask it was okay to do so).

There is suppose to be a secondry road being built in the future which runs under the motorway and pops out next to the soccerdome (or whatever it is these days) but for us to get our SL licence we had to be in for 2012. you can see with the surrounding of the stadium it is not ready yet so give it time and i expect these problems will die down once the rest of the build catches up.

could try the airport we were away after the match no problems straight to the motorway.

Bringing a coach party over for Hulls game. Any idea were coaches can park please.

Coaches are fine to park at the stadium - though be aware that of you get there a decent time before kick off the only option at/close to the stadium for drinks is the concourse. Pubs are a 15 min walk away.

thanks Iain. with the M62 like a car park at the moment i would think it will be straight into the ground. is ground well sign posted of motorway ?

Take junction 11 of the M60, follow A57 for Irlam and the stadium entrance is on your left about a quarter of a mile off the motorway. There's a sign off the A57, not sure about the motorway.
