Car Park C was chocker again, partly because of that massive unsightly tent stuck in Car Park B. Think it shows that the RICOH still isn't really setup to run as a multi purpose stadium.

I got there a little later than normal, and by that time cars were being turned way from the car park, although if you had pre paid they were letting you get in, but this resulted I cars being parked at the end of rows. This was OK during the game, but caused a little it of havoc come the end!

Fair play to the parking attendants who tried their best to organise things on spec, but I hope this wont become a more regular issue.

If I recall correctly, it was he same the last game, and I thought people had just made their own mind up to make an extra space leaving cars in the middle of the exit, which is usually 2 lanes wide but reduced to 1 with this arrangement, but cant recall what was on on that occasion.

Unless you specifically need to be parked close to the ground, I'd avoid those car parks at all costs


I've always used the ones just off the M6, would prefer the walk than the chaos.

There was a guy parked in the grass opposite the old rowleys green, real wonky parking to.

He got a ticket and was taking pictures and going on to himself about disputing it.

Extra Cars parked at end of each row narrowed it down to 1 exit lane, not acceptable, people running it know what they have sold and also know the capacity, therefore it should not be overfilled. People on the gate know how many pay on the night cars they can let in, this should not happen.

The people running this need to look into this but i suspect profit will come before safety.

Getting out of Tesco was crazy again tonight, there should be more control on the traffic signals on match days to allow cars to get out. (Even if we shouldn't park there)

Knew it would be a mare getting out so went down the Casino for an hour after the game, everyone had gone by the time we got out, met Claus Jorgensen down there too, nice bloke

Not sure I agree, if it was just about profit surely they'll have let more people in and not turned them away?

My mum text me to say it was a nightmare getting in Car Park B because the marque was still up and people were still leaving from insomnia.

I always use car park C...never a problem. Simple solution...get there early and park near the exit!

Simple if you can get there early, perhaps?

Looks like Wasps have lost the Insomnia contract. It is moving to the NEC. Should help with fixtures being moved and car parking.

Wonder how they're going to try and make that sound like a positive

Car park c was a clusterfuck last night as they are now allowing traffic to come from the North and turn right - they fill the road until the main carriageway so when it goes green you cant come from the South so you are sitting there like a dick with a green light blocking all the traffic - they need to make people go down to the roundabout and turn left from the South - anyone with a brain could see this but no - No brains - took 20 mins to get in and they were on the verge of being full - not the stewards fault - this happened with only 13 k imagine in a few matches time when we get 18 !!!!!
