this is really being well thought out on the long-term and progressive basis.

Will Green Park ( when it comes) do door to door, like a car used to do?

Is the world turned upside down too far for people?

I won't be going this season - so i'm happy to advertise where i've been parking for the last few years.

The signs say you can't park here but i've never had an issue. You need to arrive 45 mins before kick off to get a space though.

Is there anywhere to park south of the M4?

I usually park in Whitley but wanted to vary it a bit

If you don't mind a 15 minute walk, park in Greenfields Road, Blagdon Road, Blandford Road. Safe enough, never had any problems. Either then walk down Hartland Road and then across the Basingstoke Road and down Acre Road, or if in Greenfields Road then there is an alley through to Basingstoke Road. It's a shitter if it pisses down, granted; but otherwise it's a short walk and you get a clean getaway if you head home via Northumberland Avn or up to Shinfield Road if you want to avoid the A33 and Basingstoke Road.

That's where I've parked the last 3 seasons, never had any issues there and don't mind the walk too much. I think it's about a 25 minute walk though

I'm a fast walker. I can walk from Blandford Rd to my office in Green Park inside 25 minutes, 20 to the stadium.

Humble brag.




I also have little legs which I feel makes a difference.

That's not far from the truth with my dodgy hip.

If your old knees can't take it, I live on Blandford and I'll give you a piggy back.

Green Park now appears off limits unless you can produce a security ID card for one of the companies that has offices there. At the end of last season it was just CGI that were checking, but on Saturday you couldn't even get on the estate without proof of entitlement.

struggled to park on Saturday and such a small crowd as well

Anyone know when the car park on Bennet Road shut?
I got there around 2.15 and it was already full

I used mereoak yesterday, but is the Green Park dream over? Barriers over the road and stubborn security?

Used to go there a fair bit pre-match well before kickoff when there was plenty of space and always assumed that it was a bit risky leaving the car there. I was never sure how many people actually did.
But tbh, always preferred being a bit closer to the motorway.
