Was still fine last year, so unless it has changed over summer it's fine just very busy these days
Is the Blackburn Road industrial estate still available for on-street or has that been included in the no parking zone now?
Used to be able to park on both sides of Blackburn road but for the most part one side is a lorry park . If you arrive less than 90 mins before kick off with a big crowd expected you'll be lucky to get a spot .Was still fine last year, so unless it has changed over summer it's fine just very busy these days
Ditto me bus pass, daughter £2bus Fare, and a taxi for £10, black cab, no que, when I got out,escorted from the premises!Didn't bother trying to park.
Got the bus up and taxi back to Willenhall from the shopping centre bus station for £20.
Home at 10.25.
Update: Never parking at CTK again. Be lucky to be out of here by 11.
They've got greedy and taken way more bookings than the site can cope with. If that keep that up it will be absolute carnage when the weather turns, be cars getting stuck all over the place.Update: Never parking at CTK again. Be lucky to be out of here by 11.

Another exit out of there,left only should be the answer really,I can't believe they don't understand this but it is an unofficial article park, still an inconvenience to shoppers though isn't it! What is blocking for example a route to the City bound island?Exiting the arena shopping park was a joke. An hour before any movement and then it suddenly all cleared. If it is people waiting for the road to reopen they need to be moved-on.
But it’s not unofficial. You can pay for it on the Ccfc website.Another exit out of there,left only should be the answer really,I can't believe they don't understand this but it is an unofficial article park, still an inconvenience to shoppers though isn't it!

Again though. All of the traffic was diverted through ash green. There were massive lorries trying to get to pro logis so the main road was a nightmare. Burbages lane is always busy.We used Cov Welsh last night, first time for several years.
It was wierd, we got back around 10 15, the cars at top of ramp seemed to be flowing out quite quickly, but by the time we'd got in our car and joined the queue erything stopped.
Not one car moved up the ramp in nearly half an hour, we couldn't see the exit on to the road from our position but it was odd how it all ground to a halt. Is this the normal weekly occurance?
We assumed it was down to people on foot stopping cars getting out as there is no vehicle traffic on Burbages Lane.
Shoppers are going to be really pissed off when this happens on a Saturday, as will the retailers.Exiting the arena shopping park was a joke. An hour before any movement and then it suddenly all cleared. If it is people waiting for the road to reopen they need to be moved-on.
Slightly concerned that they have massively oversold season tickets. It’s been rammed even for the pre-season games and they still have season tickets on sale.We always park in CtK; have had ST there for several seasons. Getting out is not usually a problem.We didn't get out last night until just before 11:00. Slight upside was the journey home was quicker than normal as there were no other hold ups so just over 30 min later than normal. I doubt that they will open the field once the ground gets softer.
Not a bad shout, they could cone off one side of the road to allow traffic down to the M6.I still don't see why they have to close Winding House Lane. If they allowed left turns to the M6 it could be done without compromising the safety of people crossing the A444
Its not people not knowing how crossings work, its the crossings aren't designed to take the volume of people now attending games. Add in that drivers don't see any need to slow down or take extra care when 30K people are trying to exit and it's asking for trouble.At least the pedestrians were safe without having to remember how light controlled crossings work.
It was a bit silly of the council to build a stadium with 32,000 capacity without providing adequate infrastructure for safe ingress / egress. The council should do something to rectify that oversight on their part.Slightly concerned that they have massively oversold season tickets.

As you say when the weather turns it will be an absolute nightmare if they still try and use the pitches, not to mention they will be absolutely fucked for playing on them. The regular car park there gets a bit swampy when it’s bad weather, would be insanity if they’re planning to keep parking people on the pitch in the winter.

Although it seems pretty pointless closing that road at all if they're going to do nothing to stop idiots coming out of Burbages Lane and flooring it on the wrong side of the road when the road is full of people walking under the impression the road is closed. Saw several very near misses last night.
They'd put cones across the junction to stop what has happened in the past where people came down the wrong side of Burbages and then used the turn from Winding House to go right so rather than getting the message there was idiots turning right and driving down the wrong side of Winding House. No point closing the roads to prevent accidents if they're going to allow that to keep happening.

Plus there's a fairly steep set of stairs if you walk round from the casino side that come out right onto a crossing. That's clearly not designed for the number of people using it and you only need there to be a bit of pushing and someone to fall and you could easily have people getting pushed into the road.
It was, I believe, deliberate because there was a 'green travel plan' which had to be in place for all major events.It was a bit silly of the council to build a stadium with 32,000 capacity without providing adequate infrastructure for safe ingress / egress.

I have friends/family who aren't ST holders now put off from coming again. Massive own goal.It’s a fuck up of the highest order for me I hope the club / Police reconsider - it’s a massive negative fur a ground that’s already not easy to visit
All down the M6 is was saying J4-6 were closed. Don’t think the traffic on the M6 was related to the football.Fucked Google Maps as well before the game. It was showing the road as closed at 6:45pm and diverting people (or at least me)
Someone on FB (assume they run it) said that the reason there was so many people parked there was due to another car park being unavailable, so they decided to help.We always park in CtK; have had ST there for several seasons.
