Must be mildly annoying for the bloke - for about 69 hours a year.

The growth in car ownership has been a lot longer than twenty years rancido. I can't remember a time when there weren't cars parked as far afield as Dugard Rd and I first started going in the early 70s. When car ownership was lower crowds were higher so whilst the proportion who went by car was lower, the absolute numbers of cars going to BP would be not much different I bet.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I bought a house in a road once.
People used to drive down it and park on it and I thought balderdash to this, I'm never buying a house on a road ever again.

Quoted from rancido
Car ownership has greatly expanded over the last twenty years but there has been no increase in car parking facilities near BP.
And yet the parking issue hasn't gotten any worse. 20 years ago we where in the first division/championship, with gates bigger than they are now, and it was definitely harder to park then than it is now. I've always parked on Queen Mary Ave, and there are definitely less cars on matchdays than there used to be

This.

Yesterday with a gate of 7500+ parking was relatively easy.
Another modern phenomenon which people are offended by.
Like the folks around the hospital getting upset by people legally parking on the street-thus avoiding disgraceful private parking fees.

. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to park on your own front, a situation that most people in suburbia take for granted.
.


It is not you own front. Your property ends at the footpath. The road is for any legal road users on a first come first served basis. It may inconvenience you a bit but that is how roads work If you don't like it buy a place with private parking (and a dropped curb)

If Peaks Parkway does get built I assume there will be a charge for parking outside in the car park, probably about £7.00 going on other clubs charges.

There was talk of it being around £10. I think that is sufficiently high to make people park close by and walk. I don't blame them either as it is expensive enough as it is for a game. I think these ventures should be forced to give free parking.

Definitely and parking adjacent to the stadium there certainly should be.
Obviously the idea is to encourage people not to drive to the stadium.
Park and ride,walking route,secure cycle storage etc.
Or park on someones front in Weelsby Ave and walk.

BUT

I bet I don't.
