Quoted from MuddyWaters
Parking for a 4000 home crowd at Blundell Park was tolerable, for 6000 it’s pretty horrendous, for 10000 it would be intolerable.

There simply isn’t an acceptable solution, wherever the Park & Ride would be situated.


I went 40 years ago when the average gates were 10/11,000 and parking wasn't a problem then.

I guess people have become more reliant on cars now .

Some would say too reliant and want to go door to door in their cars. We need to move away from the reliance on cars.

I walk to BP and back every game, which is a bit over a mile each way. Surely even those who come in from out of town in a car can find somewhere to park in the radius of a mile from the ground and walk the rest, or jump on a bus.

more families have more than one car now, meaning less space around

In 1980 there were 19.2 motor  vehicles ( cars, vans and lorrys) on the UK roads. At this moment in time there are 36 million CARS on the UK roads. No wonder parking wasn't a problem in 1980. There certainly wasn't the car ownership density in the streets around BP then as there is now.

Not if you live down Humberston Ave. A developer bought a house and demolished it the next day to provide access for the development. The council stated the house will be rebuilt as they did not having planning permission to demolish it! Never happened! And there's a nice road!



Shouldn’t one of the ward councillors have kicked up a fuss over it? I’m sure I heard there was a Humberston councillor who was very involved in planning issues.

Where did all those people park when we had 22-23,000 in the ground for THE Everton and Exeter games? Or 16-17,000 in for the Spurs and Newcastle games in the early 90s. How on Earth did people get to the football?

PS if the Main Stand is to be redeveloped, the ground capacity will need to come down during the works. The area between the Pontoon and the Main stand would probably need to be delivery/materials/site huts so you couldn’t put something up there first.

Yeah, seems as though a lot of car users feel entitled to a parking space within 5 minutes of Blundell Park half an hour before kickoff.

If you head towards Queen Mary Ave / Carr Lane there's usually loads of on street parking available, even this season, and it's only a 10-15 minute walk mostly through a park to get to Blundell Park. Think people are really overstating the parking issues this season personally.
