Agreed. A good mate of mine offered me a lift back to the Goose. I said thanks but it will be quicker to walk. As luck would have it I just got there after a mate had got the round in.

I've been to grounds where they charge you for the privilege and it can take near enough 20 minutes to get to the car, before even trying to get away.

Nothing this. When the England knights played France last year it took us more than 2 hours to get from lsv to Bedford !

If wasn't that we had 2 toddlers would've walked

The bollards are down on non matchdays if memory serves me right, but I completely understand why they're raised when a game is on as I'd expect it was part of the planning aspect with the residential areas that the stadium wouldn't mean neighbouring streets are rammed on a matchday etc.

No Matt, they're up all the time.

Makes you laugh really - we give folk the option to use a free car park (how many of them are there?) and the're still not happy. If anyone wants a quick get away leave a minute before the final whistle. There's plenty street parking available around Schofield / Marshall St etc - just a minute from the car park.

If any of you want cheering up about the car parking/stewarding/leaving times at the LSV, pop down to the Salford City Stadium on Monday. You can bring the whole family (2 adults, 2 kids) for £10 and enjoy our game against Hull KR.

Don't make any plans for too early on Tuesday morning though as you may still be on our car park?!?!

That's why I park close to the motorway when I go to your place.

Agreed. When you played Leeds I drove over Barton Bridge on my way home from work over an hour after the match had finished and the car parks were solid.

Easy option, as long as you don't have 3 kids and a wife who's on crutches in the car with you?!




Give us a wave next time! You could've driven back an hour later and still seen people trying to escape!?!

I have to say that the plans that Pev posted on your forum look fantastic. When the rail link and the road under the motorway are done your place will be the one to go to. I sat in the east stand for the Leeds game and had a fantastic vue and it was mixed supporters. Apart from the result we had a great night.

agreed, it was still bad when i left, stewards where directing traffic but if theres no where for them to send them they cannot be to blame.

The bollards re there to provide emergency access only, and I believe the LSV bus can use that entrance too. But you're correct - planning restrictions prevent that exit being used by the general public, as Wigan Council did not want the residential estate being clogged up with matchday traffic. To be fair they're spot on with that assesment.
