11:15 I got home was fecking ridiculous sat there for half hour without moving an inch
I'd take half hour as a great result. The way the club used to to hold the people in the official parking was ridiculous!. Waiting for the away buses to leave....Originally Posted by jamieccfc

One time I got home at gone 12, well over an hour without moving, after a 745 kick off parking by that school by the rugby club as well. It was a wales game though
Shoot me down in flames here, BUT isn't the ASDA car park for SHOPPERS
I bought a pastie from greggs before the game, what more do you want????Shoot me down in flames here, BUT isn't the ASDA car park for SHOPPERS
Pay the man £5 to park in one of the several private car parks on Hadfield Rd, left on FT whistle, home in Weston by 22.55. Happy days, worth the fiver every time!11:15 I got home was fecking ridiculous sat there for half hour without moving an inch
Never mind. At least you didn't lose your car in Canton!
It was ridiculous, not helped by the OB blocking off the exits to let the weeds busses through, then the traffic lights appearing to be stuck on red
Terrible traffic management at the end of games. They need it to be properly controlled with traffic exiting the area given priority and a channel by which to leave the area irrespective of the light colour.
Those lights will deliberately be set to mostly benefit traffic moving along Leckwith Rd so for ages traffic is jammed in the car park when nothing (or very little) is going along Leckwith Rd
The annoying thing is that I left on 90minutes specifically to avoid getting stuck. Wish I’d stayed to the end and had a cofffee in mucky d’s
I go and have a couple of pints in the casino - then drive straight out.
The effects of doing that? Gridlock else where with larger implications. The priority is to keep traffic moving on the roads, not to add to the gridlock by prioritising cars trying to get onto the roads.
but at nearly 10pm there isn't much traffic on the roads. the cars waiting to leave asda / retail park sit at a red light watching little or no traffic go along leckwith rd. A properly organised exit plan would see dozens / hundreds of cars leave the area and move onto leckwith rd / link rd in a seemless fashion with little disruption to local traffic still using leckwith rd.
Lights would still be used, but weight them for the traffic leaving the stadium, not the sparce numbers of vehicles passing the area.
In the good old days of policing, a little bit of point duty would help to ease the obvious congestion that the traffic lights were causing.
Drinking and driving?
You can have pints of squash or shandy too.
Probably sober up by time you get clear of the ground..
leckwith road and sloper road should be closed to non football traffic starting 10 mins before the end of the game. Divert all traffic via virgil st, bottom end of sloper rd and penarth road to get to link road.
Ive parked in Asda only a couple of times but never again - it's ridiculous.
For years I've parked near Victoria Park - healthy 25 minute walk, always guaranteed a space, no congestion. Home by 10.30.
I know some have mobility issues but don't understand the need to park as close as possible to the ground.
I'm with you on this. I park a little nearer - my walk is 20 mins. I was home by 22.10 and posting a review of the game on here at 22.24 after a brew.
binman was checking the forum on his phone on leckwith road with a can of 'bow in the other hand
But I have a healthy, non-addictive and unobsessive presence on here....
I was in the car park at the ground with the problems getting out of here and queues all the way up the the A48 as well as a few other hold ups on the way back, a normal 45 minute journey took well over 2 hours last night.
Still, it was worth it to see that performance and result.
And climbing in to my bed, I had the satisfaction of knowing that the Leeds fans had hours more misery to endure travelling home before sleep took their pain away for a few short hours.
Lets face it. Park in Asda where you shouldnt really be parked in the first place then you cant really complain if your ages getting out.
The light system is bound to be in favour of those parked in the streets to get the traffic away. Not late night shoppers.
I bought a packet of Monster Munch from ASDA before leaving.
