I suggest highlighting the "loss of amenity" and the serious inconvenience/difficulty resulting as a consequence. Why do something constructive when they can come on here and moan about it instead.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 There is no answer to the parking issue. Other than letting those in the South with nice cars park close by, and the Kop people with their Nova’s, Nissan Micras and Sierra Ghias park up in some kind of pen, on the outskirts. Ferry them in on trains like they do in India, with people sat on the roof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 There will be about 10 players leaving soon. So that’s... erm... 10 spare spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aingarth Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Can’t believe this post. It’s even more boring than my thread about the pitch. Jaguar has owned the land for at least 5 years and had a deal for Wednesdayite parking. Eventually they have to do something with their investment. There has been plenty of time for the club to have made a sensible offer. Clearly they haven’t and unless someone on here has the money to buy the land, no point in moaning now.

teddybeararmy Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 You would think a rich successful business man with a forward thinking plan for his football club, would make every effort to purchase available land in close proximity to his stadium.

The point I'm trying to make is folk saying there's loads of places to park. I wouldn't have the first clue where to start. All I know about the streets near to the stadium are: Penistone Road - no parking The road near the Lexus garage - parked there once. Too far these days on my meds. A road near the Crown pub - parked there with a pal who gave us a lift. He got a ticket. The road that runs down to the kop - looks like double yellows and cones as far up as where we turn left to come back down to the junction (that used to be a roundabout) That road - seems to be all cars on the pavement - I assume these are the ones that folk sometimes complain about getting tickets? Not surprised as there's always folk walking in the road, including old folk, people with buggies etc. They even park in the bus stop. The road the Chinese chippy is on (Vere?) - appears to be residents only? and obviously we wouldn't be able to park this close at 2.30-2.40. Tim mentions The Park Hotel - I recall going in there for a couple of W'ite meetings I think. If I'm correct that's on the Leppings Lane side of the ground? If I recall correctly I was able to park at SWFC for those meetings. In my early 20's I did go to games with some local S6 lads - we drank in a huge pub in Hillsborough and I would park in their carpark. I noticed it has been demolished when I recently visited our store in Hillsborough (parked on the roof of a shopping precinct after following sat nav). Perhaps some decent suggestions for someone coming from the SE of the city via the parkway/penistone road that's within 10 minutes stroll(heart condition means BP is usually 170/120) and available with 30 minutes to k.o? Park up at Halfway jump on the tram straight to the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see I tend to plan ahead when going into an unknown area even if it's just the once, never mind umpteen times a year. Assume for a moment I didn't live so close to the ground, I personally would hate being parked so close anyway, being someone who doesn't like to leave before the final whistle, and a 5/10 minute walk would be fine anyway.

This development is almost exactly they type of projects that are being pushed for brownfield sites or hosting developments so planning will almost certainly be granted. Looking at the proposal is doesn't go against any planning rules set by the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Interesting this. Penistone Road gets busy most days heading past the ground toward Halifax Road. I wonder if they'll allow traffic to turn right near the ground, crossing the central reservation, to access the new shops etc. If so that means new lanes etc. From memory there's a wide central reservation so might work. Christ I'm boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
