[Albion] EDF Parking where art thou?

[Alba Badger]

It's been ages since weve had the easy Park and Rind option, any idea why its' not getting used? Felt nailed on for Palace game but alas....

Has to be open for Brentford match

 

[Balls of Steele]

Frustrating as it’s a great option. Trains for Palace can be a pain whilst they make us queue for ages whilst they march a few Palace fans up queens road straight into their private train!

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Allegedly they are only now using it for games when there is known train disruption.

No doubt a classic case of prioritising a few pennies over making it easier for fans to get to games, but I suspect this hasn't been helped by the amount of knobbers using it without pre booking

Park and Rind?

Does that mean each booked parking space comes with a bag of pork scratchings? If so count me in.

Not an issue if the stewards did their job and checked tickets

 

[HangletonGull]

Really hoped this would be open for Sunday

 

[Invicta]

Mainly only used Sunday's when no EDF staff in I assume

The office isn't used on a Sunday...
Ah Palace is Friday, my bad.

Feel free to turn up Friday .... you might be a bit lonely though.

If you travel Friday there won’t be many queues !

I was hoping it would be available for the Palace match too. Oh well

Losing my marbles - long day at work then child throwing up. Not sure why I had Friday in my head! Shouldn't have edited the post to add that!
Sunday isn't a working day there, so no ideas why it's not being used.

Brentford presumably

Ps writing this in a harbour in Guatemala and it is 32degrees C today but pissed it down all day

I didn’t realise how dangerous Central America is. Today off the ships port side there was a small boat full of machine gun clad police and yesterday in Costa maya ( Mexico) twice we passed patrols with police on the back of flat bed trucks with bloody great machine guns mounted on them looking bloody scary

Don’t get this in dear old Blighty

 

[trueblue]

Agree with all of the above (apart from Palace being on Friday). Could really do with the EDF option - it makes the travel immeasurably better, especially for the biggest ballache game of the season.

It's an ok 'I'm on holiday' attempt but it's no @Beach Hut

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Also, if not the EDF, what about the Pycombe option that also seems to have disappeared?

 

[Balls of Steele]

Assume saving the money or perhaps sourcing the coaches/buses is an issue?

 

[Hudson Hawk]

I think unless there are rail issues and/or unavailability of the usual park and rides and parking options, then they won't consider EDF or Pycombe.

To be fair what we have is probably enough when all open, but I wish they were available more often as they are a lot less hassle and time consuming.

You're probably right – the club possibly used last season as a trial (there seemed to be one or the other for the majority of games) and decided that, for whatever reason, it wasn't worth the cost/hassle. Shame really but, like you say, there's enough in the old system – but only when it works properly!
