No P&R for Newport game

[Easy 10]

There are a maximum 3,000 parking spaces allowed in the stadium vicinity (essentially the UoS and Bridge car parks) according to BH2011/03861. This is the capacity extension application and the actual use figures for train, P&R, coach, bus, etc are in there somewhere, I just can't be arsed to look for them. Interestingly (ie I haven't seen it mentioned on NSC previously), BHA has submitted an application that will reduce the stadium capacity by 2,000+ when the Bennett's Field Car Park closes - due at the end of the forthcoming season.

Wow.
That, sir, definitely requires a thread of its own !

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I don't think too much can be read into those quoted figures. The club also stated that 100% of away fans, yes 100%, every single fan for every single match, would arrive by coach! Basically we said whatever we needed to say at the time to get the nod which was fair enough; it's only now that chickens are coming home to roost.

It was 2,000 away fans but MP was still spouting this rubbish at the PC meeting about the Racecourse P&R; I'm sure he actually believe(d/s) it.

Is that to prevent us from having to create additional parking spaces by artificially limiting our attendances?

I was being a bit 'economical' though:

BH2013/01356 American Express Community Stadium Village Way Brighton

UNDER CONSIDERATION Application for removal of condition 1 and variation of condition 36 of application BH2011/03861.

In case i've missed it, have the club given options for people that have to drive?

Bridge Car Park is open.

Does the permanent provision of 750 spaces at the Race Course not satisfy this?

How do you get from the racecourse to the Amex without the P&R? Is there a direct normal bus?

The P&R won't be available at the racecourse until the first league game.

I know. That's why I was wondering about the relevance of the spaces at the racecourse P&R car park when there is no P&R!

EDIT: Although on re-reading MR Gatting's post it may have been been a query to 'Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!' rather than a query on P&R! Think we may all have been at cross-purposes.
