I think there Is going to be a pub/hotel type boozer on the development and the bars in the stadium.
Plenty of choice, plus all our new fans from cas and Leeds are well served on their way through Rothwell and Methley etc!!! ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"
If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.
Sharing First World problems so you can get it right first time.

| My concern with Newmarket is indeed the car parking and what I fear to be exorbitant cost. It will cost me enough coming from East Yorkshire for each home game (that I can make). With the price of petrol and entry an extra fiver/tenner to park is a real disincentive. Also with occasional matches on a Monday night or Friday night (for Sky) then time can be tight to get across from work.
Call me a cheapskate but I hate paying for parking, no matter where it is. We pay enough in car tax, VAT on buying a car then on petrol that exorbitant fees just discourage more.
I appreciate it is not great for people living nearby with cars parked during match day, but legally parked cars in reasonable areas can be worked out.
I also wonder how many away fans would be discouraged by parking fees.

| I'm ok with carparking charges - there are too many cars on the road as it is, so there should be a disincentive to use them; for those people who don't feel able to use an alternative, there should be a cost attached.
Back to Salford - I don't think this is anything like a new rumour - it's been doing the rounds for ages and a lot of it was debunked by the club themselves and one of their well informed posters, both on the VT and their own board.
Personally, I hope it works out for them - I understand Sale Sharks are moving in soon, so that might help out with running costs and such. Either way, I'm guessing that our own situation will be somewhat different, given that NM will be run by a not-for-profit Trust.

The closest pub is the Mexborough Arms which is about a mile down Newmarket lane. I call for a pint when I'm out mountain biking, it's dated as hell inside, can't have had a penny spent on it since the 80's and hardly anyone ever goes in but once this gets the go ahead it could turn into a decent pub, which I could see being bought by one of the breweries.

| A couple of hostelries could see their fortunes turn around a bit if they work hard at cashing in on match-day custom - and power to their elbows.

It isn't even shown on that for some reason, that's how few people go to it, it's down Newmarket lane and it's at the fork in the road at Park Lane and Watergate about 1 mile straight from where it's going to be built.

Yes it's defo a bit closer if you walk through the public footpaths at the end of Bottomboat and then up to Newmarket lane.

Plenty of places to park if you don't mind a 5 minute walk, should be fine.

Well, I for one am pleased about that. Such things may seem minor but can be an issue. I think most people don't mind paying for parking if the fee is reasonable and this subject is my pet hate. (Bretton park for instance!) So, it's good to have a plan B.

Well I hope I'm right, it's fairly open up there. Obviously if we start to get 10,000+ gates it may get tighter.

| There will be a lot of roads around the area as the whole estate gets built.
I'm ceratin a lot of the businesses there will charge a fee to park in their car parks but there'll be others too. Can see restrictions to Moorhouse being added though to stop people parking there.

I'll find it easy via the motorway but will still be using the car unless transport is made easier then we could use it, as it is we would have to catch two buses now from wreny'"
It'd have thought it was just a case of getting down onto Stanley Road/Aberford Road and there should be a regular bus running straight along there through Stanley & past Moorhouse and then get off prior to Newmarket turn off for a short walk down to the ground?
Not many pubs nearby in Stanley as Railway Pub now shut and Thatched opposite St.Peters Church too far away. Always Rising Sun down bottomboat?

| Lot's of opportunities for local companies/ hostelries to get in on the act if they use a bit of smarts,depending on the refreshment = beer facilities at the ground, my first option due to living town centre may be one of few beers in town centre then shared taxi to ground, keeping the cost reasonable.Would hope that maybe some taxi firm with a bit of nouse will see the potential market on match days both to and from Newmarket. I regularly travel to Fieldhead by taxi..no smart comments, its where I work !! lol, and costs around 4 quid with tip so would imagine should be around 5 and half to 6 quid for Newmarket which when shared is fine by me.ps would rather put money over a bar where the club benefits though if indeed that is a option.
