| I await the barrage of complaints about getting off after the match. It's going to be horrendous! We came off.

| Where from? I park in the paid parking at the back of the East Stand and it was OK. I stayed to the end as always do.
Anyone know if the silver Peugeot got towed? The one they announced was blocking the exit when someone need to leave due early to a family illness. What a plonker!

Car park 4 up the top, the free gravel one.

OK. Used to park there myself before I got lazy - and stuck in traffic once too often on the way to the ground.
In fact for a time even though parked in car park 3 I used to wait for the barrier to go up and head off that way. Galdl I didn't tonight.

| The big issue was people blocking me in inconsiderate parking do people not realise this when they park up or are they just stupid.

Quite often you don't have a lot of choice, if they're going to fence it off like that then they need markings painted and car park attendants up there. I wouldn't mind paying to get on it, I use that one because it's the most convenient for getting on my route home. The biggest issue was 4 or 5 long queues of traffic all trying to squeeze out of the exit nearest B&Q. Really can't see what they hoped to achieve with the fence tbh.

What a dreadful thing!

| so long as they stick some black top down and then put proper bays in, i have no issues with what they have started.
car park 4 on a big match has been like the wild west with people abandoning cars in ludicrous places, and acting like selfish pr!cks.
i for one am a big fan of turning this into a replica of the paid park behind the south stand

I'd be happy with that also, but Tarmac and painted bays should have gone in before the fence. It's an even worse version of the Wild West now.

i agree. but i cant see why else they would spend money on the railings unless they are going to charge. and charging assuming a decent managed surface.

| I always stay right till the end of the game to applaud the players as they walk around the pitch and I got off car park 4 easier than I normally do. I would ask though that people do allow cars to join the que to get off and don't race to block off gaps so they can save themselves 5 seconds.
Tarmac would be very expensive and would probably make it a pay car park, they should however remove the raised kerb stones as they are dangerous.
We could do with two or three stewards to oversee the car parking and try and make sure no cars are blocked in.
I believe the fence is to keep travellers away from the site as with other measures around the complex.

Apparently if they steward it,then they have to charge.
