Stadium plans

[Di]

[GThornton]

It doesn't look as though it interferes with or is close to any houses. The M62 junction looks complicated though.

[HuddsTigers]

Don't think M62 is much different to be honest.

Road from Xscape is moved further out towads the site, freeing up a diagonal road straight from M62 to stadium site rather than leading it on to roundabout road and blocking up that.

[c'mon]

Pedestrian access will be the issue.
Lots of people coming via exscape / railway etc
Crossing a multi lane road will mean pelican crossings and further traffic disruption as well as what appears to be multiple crossing points.
That will need serious consideration.

Dont get me wrong I am for not against but access is everyone's gripe at every ground. Pushing foot traffic across cars is a big no no even with crossing points due to how it slows traffic flow.

[lurcher]

maybe a footbridge?

[usacas]

Don't see much in terms of car parking in close proximity to the stadium. Footbridge to Escape would be highly desirable. A lot of supporters of both Cas and visiting teams will want to visit the bars and restaurants at Escape after the game.

how many days out of the year will it happen? we only play 13 home games i think with possibly some challenge cup games and maybe even a home playoff game

[Adelaide Tigurrrr!]

The plan looks feasible and generates both leisure and retail services. I'm looking forward to this coming off and providing the club with a great opportunity to grow commercially

My only comment is where do peope park if they cannot park at the ground?

Spittal Hardwick Lane approach - will parking be available along the access road from SHL? Or will parking be available in SHL itself? The only other option is to park on the Gypsy Lane estate or whatever its called now and that must be a 15 minute walk providing you get parked up.

Park Road side - Will people be able to park in the spaces opposite the new shops at the side of the ground? Will Xscape be available for parking or have staff patrolling their car park to stop home/away fans parking there? Will residents of Stainburn Avenue approach the Council to make their road permit parking only?

Finally, if i'd have stayed in Cas i could walk to the stadium from Smithson Avenue!

All the best to the Board in moving this forward.

Parking is not an issue for me, Walking distance now (£3 to park up my drive for anyone with a season ticket 8) 8) 8) )

[big-fish89]

The ground will have more car parking space than the current stadium i believe

[Mojoxc]

sorry to say, but this will never happen for all sorts of reasons...........as they say 'pie in the sky'!

[stevem]

And you name not one ?

Im sure the aim of any club building a new stadium is to attract the supporters to the facilities within the ground early, then to keep them there as long as possible spending?

[legionited]

I think they are possibly shown on here but are the pylons and power lines likely to cause any issues?

[welshy]

Why are people so negative, It may not happen but it just might!!! Let's be positive and what are the so many reasons why it won't happen?

I have full faith in SG that he will see this project through to completion!!!!

[Hillary Briss]

Perhaps a multi storey carpark - build up instead of a larger footprint

plus generates cash another renenue stream - xscape and J32 is a nightmare at christmas - park n ride....

pre-pay in advance like at an Airport with number plate recognition etc. Keeps traffic flowing enterance and exit is much quicker too

Great idea, been to Saint twice both times parked in a multi storey for a pound just over the foot bridge. Easy access and would stop match day traffic potentially clogging up local streets.

Obviously this would come with its own cost maybe something to put to developers or maybe an outside car parking company (NCP)

[lurcher]

i think i can remember ponty park being used as a park and ride for christmas shopping periods. park in the park and bus into ponty. it could work the same for the stadium. parking on the grassed areas dosn't seem to do much damage on race days.

No they're on the plans, shown by small coloured squares - every so often (one in the middle of the car park)
