| £1 for parking would fill the carpark and the'd probably take more money

| I think some initiative such as car park + programme for £3 would be decent.
I park around Lakeside but would change tactics if the above was in place.
The cost of car parking at the stadium is a joke really. I feel sorry for the away fans having to pay so much too.
This is certainly an issue the club need to give some thought to.
I never got a response on here to my recent suggestion of printing a poster advertising the next match in the programme. I bet the old DonsNews (Mark) would have replied!

| Think the best way to contact the club is Email Carl or Jackie Green, You usually get a reply.

| Well why don't we have a dedicated thread on here, a sticky one, for questions/suggestions for the club.
Someone at the club can be asked to read it occasionally and maybe respond, DonsNews perhaps.
Weighman could perhaps enquire.
I can't be d sending e-mails to the club, they will have other things to bother with.
At least it would all be in one place and chronological to be read whenever they have a minute.
At least we would all get to know rather than individually.
Replies could be by pm for sensitive stuff.

| How is it they only charge £1 for the same car park at the Keepmoat Sunday car boot sale?
Maybe it would be a good idea to arrive as late as possible at the car boot sale & park your car for a £1 & then go & sit in your seat in the stadium or have a drink in the bar.

| A dedicated sticky thread for suggestions to the club would be a good idea.
If we all approach the club individually we could be duplicating ideas although I know Carl and Jackie do their best to reply.
I think that between us, and with some reasoned discussions along the way, we'll be able to come up with some decent suggestions.

Funnily enough, when going on Dons buses to away games in the past, they've wanted to charge me for car boot parking! Although on explaining they allowed me to park for nothing.
With all matters financial, I suppose the club have to weigh up how much they get from parking fees and how much they lose from people not attending matches because of them, although I'd hope a modicum of fair play may also come into the equation.
With most people having to get two buses to get to the stadium, you'd have thought the club would be sympathetic to our cause, although I seem to recall the initial idea when the stadium was built was that only cars with three or more occupants would be allowed to park. This was based on a [igreen[/i idea if I remember rightly.

| Having read some of the question & answer threads on other club sites I feel the E Mail approach is the best bet.

You heard incorrectly apart from the first part.

Well considering that the Rovers wanted us to have our say quite recently IIRC let's not bother.
Better to continue in the same old way.

| I was walking about work today and saw at least 3 poster for the Knights up coming matches around the place.......considering two of the current Don's first team squad work in the same building as me you'd have thought the club would have something up (To be fair Stu's corridor/classroom area is very heavily covered in RL material).
Before anyone suggests I put them up I just don't get the time or opportunity to do it, It's rare I escape the confines of the classroom.

| Car parking is expensive and most places charge £2.
Why do we have to have 2 staff collecting car parking money, surely one person can take money and give you a ticket.
I also think that season ticket holders should get parking for free or either a £1 on showing the season ticket.
I thought that DM came up with a good idea car parking and programme for £3, i would have thought that if the parking was more reasonable then more people would park in the car park.
I agree in sending an email to the club and moving these posts onto a new thread and making it sticky.
