Got my ticket today!
I need to get to Allseley as quick as possible after the game on Friday.

Most games I used to park in Tesco but obviously that's not quick away at the best of times.

I can get a lift, park and drive, use public transport, or whatever's needed really, just wondering what people do if they're in a hurry to get away.

If your a fast walker park at The Hub. Easy to get away from there, you can be down by Coundon Wedge Drive in 5 mins from there.

Either that, or the Cherry Tree - straight up Lythalls Lane then Rotherham Road

Car park C every time ...if you jog it's the quickest way onto A444 either direction

I usually park at the Three Horse Shoes on Foleshill Road (next to the fire station). Only costs 3 quid. 15 - 20 min walk back but then you're straight out, never had to wait or got held up in traffic.

How do you get in there? Do you have to pre book?

Edit: I'd have thought it'd take a while to get out too, always seems to be queues but that was before they changed the junction.

You can pay on the gate...it can be a bit of a Le Mans dash to start cars but beats all the other Ricoh car parks as there is no lockdown post game. Running through the underpass always makes the Police nervous too!

Punch the nearest copper in the gob. You will be out within seconds.

It's closed?!?

Where do I go in town now then for the scent of sweat fear and sleaze, and sixth formers pretending to be 21?

The Colly always seemed to fit that bill, not been since I became a teacher though.

No fear in the Colly, although there was a very strange lad offering me ketchup!

If you can get picked up, get somebody to pick you up from Burbages Lane. You just run out, over the roundabout and then up past the old social club. Quick blast down Wheelright Lane and you are well on your way

Not a joke.... If I had to be somewhere that's more important than a football match I see no harm in leaving 5 or 10 minutes early. However, ppl leaving early just for the sake of it get right on my tits
