Tbf gateman, even on an evening time it's packed up at xscape.
I go to the cinema on an evening and it's hard to find a parking space.
Maybe junction 32 car park could be used. Just a thought.
Though does the barrier come down around 10pm on that car park.....not sure.
Re: Stadium Update

Re: Stadium Update
The X scape overflow car park behind the train station is almost always empty. Maybe the club could strike a deal to use it for match day parking

Re: Stadium Update
Just another thing to note for anyone who is a bit skeptical about the stadium happening - £13 million has already been spent on the 5 towns park project.

Didn't even know that was there.
Also there is a lot of spare ground close to that car park, maybe make it even and use that.
Re: Stadium Update
Yea right Hudd in your dreams. You and everyone knows it will be a traffic nightmare.HuddsTigers wrote:New ground will have easy access to a train station, walking distance from Ponte, regular bus services out to Knottingley and Cas. There will also be a shuttle bus from Cas to the ground.
In reality, the only people who will need to drive are those who work and will drive straight to games, corporate hospitality, elderly and disabled and those who live far away.
The vast majority of local people will be in close proximity to some form of public transport to get them there.
I hope they are building a footbridge from the station ...........you are not suggesting they walk over the 8 lanes of traffic?

Re: Stadium Update
The buses could drop off at the rear of the ground away from the main road entrance to help with congestion.
Lots of options to look at and plenty of time.

Either a tunnel under the road, which will put extra cost on the project.
Or a bridge.

Re: Stadium Update
Isn't there already a pedestrian crossing from J32/Xscape towards Stainburn/the stadium?
Re: Stadium Update
You have to take your life in your hands to get across park road as it is theres going to be serious congestion match days..we just have to find ways around the problems we need that new ground
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

Re: Stadium Update
It's easy. Park in xscape, freeport or B&Q. Over to xscape for a drink. Up to the singing chocker for one, on to the George V. Up to the Royal Oak. Across the road at the crossing then back down the other side stopping in the Malt Shovel, Glasshoughton, and Star on the way back down

Like your style Craigy B
Re: Stadium Update
There is mate yes. However one or two pedestrians crossing isn't the same as hundreds if not thousands of fans having a walk up.TheSheriff wrote:Isn't there already a pedestrian crossing from J32/Xscape towards Stainburn/the stadium?
On another note
Just think what good Friday will be like.
Xcsape packed
Freeport packed
Derby game
Fun and games....

Re: Stadium Update
Hudds,
I didn't say no one would use public transport but as I work in the travel industry I know full well that by and large the general public are not enthused by it. Take the point made by OCL, most will be in walking of a bus route distance but its a chore when you can just sit quite comfortably in a car.
I'll PM you with more detail.

Re: Stadium Update
I lived in Amsterdam for a few years and used to go watch Ajax, the Arena had great facilities, however they also used to have people walk around the ground with Heineken/Amstel backpacks on so you could get a drink without moving. Do not know if it would be allowed in the UK, but it is a great idea and could help cut the congestion.fast hands wrote:Sympathise with you Exiled, and having to go for a drink 20 minutes before half-time. Pity you missed some great rugby.
