royalexile Well lets hope then that the coaches are staggered into the ground. The stewards almost didn't cope last time with coaches arriving and trying to park up.

The coaches will be parked at the Speedway stadium apparently.......


Cost-Co approach roads, more likely.

Just posting what I heard from someone at the club.......

They won't use the Speedway Stadium, makes much more sense to keep that for cars given the loss of spaces else where.

They can park a fair number up at the stadium and then as Dirk suggests use the CostCo approach for the rest.

Means it's easy to get the coaches filled up and away post match.

If you had 40 coaches at the Speedway you'd have a real potential flashpoint given how long it takes to get away post match and the fact that you'd have almost the entire away support having to walk round the ground.

Well they used the Speedway in the cup and totally oxf*rd up my usual quick exit, until the Tango's finally opened the other gate.

Well today they used the Costco approach and f*cked up our exit by closing that road! Are they even allowed to do that?

And if they do, some signs to show the alternative way out would be appreciated.

And no, we weren't parked in Costco during the game, my wife was in there shopping and then found her route to pick us up closed!

Yeh and I believe it was your damn idea! :twisted: :twisted:

Maybe the best solution but the very least they could do is give advance warning and signpost alternative routes out!

Private land is Green park, no football parking so why would they need to say they were co operating with parking for away fans coaches, tho of course they could have said, and also well done to the Pru for making things easier.

Given the nature of Green Park the 'alternative' exit from Costco is fairly obvious isn't it ?
