Just a quick one, anyone know if Blackburn Road (off Longford Road opposite the park) still available for parking on matchdays, or has it been subsumed into the exclusion zone?

Whatever that patch of common is called between longford road and the canal, then - Sowe Valley Way??? Something like that !

I started using it (the parking, not the word!) ages ago when you could cut through the building site at the top end (which was used as a matchday car park by the entrepreneurial landowner - but you could walk through for 50p) onto the canal towpath and up to the bridge near those flats then over the railway. Now you have to cut across Sowe Common (i think) to the canal bridge. Just asking for a friend (i get the bus now).

It's only when you start driving to away games and have to park your car at other grounds do you realise how easy other fans have it.
