oldtawnyowl Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I'm trying to work out alternatives now that Wednesdayite car park is closed. I know posters on here tell us that there is no problem finding parkin spaces if you are prepared to walk a reasonable distance but I do have a problem with walking. I can manage a fair distance on level ground before I experience enough pain to make me stop and rest, however walking uphill gives me condiderable pain within a few yards. Does anyone on here know (I suppose someone will) about what time does the supertram park and ride at Middlewood become full on matchdays. Any other suggestions would be welome. Thanks!

Hi mate, I've been parking at the Park and Ride on Middlewood road for years As long as you leave about 30 minutes I've never not got a place (even for blades games) Also you can do park only on the pay screens, costs about 3quid ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the tram when I go to matches, it's okay going if you get there early, nightmare return after the match unless you leave it till all supporters have gone. Would not recommend at all.

How early do you have to go coz doesn't that have like space for about 6 hot wheels cars It's all a bit odd. Get there too early and there's no one there, can park for free it seems but I was too nice and went inside and asked. Get there at a normal time and some old bloke in a high-viz who doesn't seem too switched on to life in general takes £5 off you. No ticket or anything and very nonchalant. I'm betting if you got there early and parked in a regular place, they wouldn't notice and park for free. Never tried it though. Think my horse box is too obvious.

Inspector Lestrade Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just make your way to Silverwood Working Mens Club in Dalton, Rotherham, where you would be made most welcome. Relax and enjoy a drink or two in the salubrious surroundings of the club, served by the glamourous bar staff. Then be entertained by stories of old by your fellow travellers who will revel in the telling of their tales to a new victim friend. You will whisked to the match in style by luxury coach (well it was in 1974) and dropped off at the Wednesdayite car park. Just £7 leave about 14:00 and arrive back at the club for 17:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
