NB. Don't try Parking at Rivelin or Marlcliffe School. This letter is a hoax. See article in tonight's "Star" Sorry what letter - i'm only referring to the website that's offering car parking at those schools? Are you saying the website is hoax?

S36 OWL Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 50 minutes ago, The only way is S6 said: Park in Sainsbury’s. Buy a £3 meal deal & keep your receipt. Not much further to walk, undercover dry parking & you get fed. Simples! And its a damn sight cheaper then paying rip off prices in the ground for food.

The road has been re-opened within about 20/30 minutes of the final whistle and we have found it easier to exit the car park than before the present restrictions Sorry I meant if you immediately wanted to drive home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the website is hoax? According to "The Star" a letter was handed out to to some Owls fans prior to the Stoke game telling them that parking was available at Rivelin and Marlcliffe Schools at a charge of £5. The "Star" goes on to say that this is a fake letter and not true. A picture of the letter does, at first sight, appear to be on an official SWFC letter head, but the fact that the old "minimalist" Owls badge alongside the current badge intimates that it is not, in fact, genuine. Why would anyone go to such trouble to produce such misinformation is beyond me. Some really sad B@stards about aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a ST holder I was thinking of giving this one a miss and watching on TV, but will now be there Would it be possible for Owlstalk to post on here whenever they plan to open the car park.

Can't be Wednesdayite since they own neither shares or the Car Park They NEVER owned the car park. In fact it was waste land owned by some Land Corporation or other, and W'ite simply leased the land for specific periods.The cost of parking was to belay the cost of the lease. The Car Park workers were volunteers, as you most probably well know! Suggest you stop poo stirring!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might think about other people, the ones that need to park outside their own homes. Then they won't have to walk 5 minutes to get to their own house.
