PlasticRoyal After the match theres always a stream of people heading across the on-site carpark to the cut-through onto brooks drive....

Is there parking there too? Or bus stops? Where are they going?


We go that way to Green Park station

Arnie_Pie I expect this has been asked loads of times so apologies in advance. On the occasions I attend, it's always on a Saturday and I get the train in to town and then the bus.

As it's a Tuesday, against Oxford (concerned about potential trouble) and and I've got my 11 year old in tow who needs to go to school in the morning, I want to park for the first time. I'll be coming off and back onto the M4.

How long are the queues likely to be getting out of the onsite parking and am I better off parking a bit further away and walking?

Cheers.


Potential trouble? Been to Oxfud a few times and found it to be a very pleasant city. So have no reason to feel that they won't reciprocate past hospitality 8)

Orion1871 On that note. Whatever happened to the user on here who used to call the stadium the "ego dome" and said they wouldn't return until Madejski had gone? Presumably, they came back and are enjoying life under Dai and the other owners we have had since Sir Mad.


I know that RoyalBlue always had a been in his bonnet about Madejski.

Woodcote wasn't he?

Him who would sit in the carpark and listen to Coppell's team selection before he'd decide whether to actually go in the stadium? :lol: :lol: oxf*rd div.

Millsy (as 2ww1wc) was another where's the money gone, spend spend spend merchant under Madejski iirc. Like RoyalBlue.

And then of course, there's Schards, who I'm sure has enjoyed the sea change he said we needed.

Yep, or the Green Wave bus stop at the base of the steps or the afore-mentioned builders' car park.

I have always parked at B&Q etc, never been a problem, 5 min walk to the ground and free.

Would suggest parking and getting the bus from Mereoak. Unless you and your boy fancy a 30 min walk to the stadium.

I prefer the Foster Wheeler car park, simply because they seem better at sorting buses out after the game. There's always a huge queue for Mereoak.

Tinpot Royal I noticed when walking from Mereoak on Saturday that you can park at the Tesco depot for £5 (cash), would imagine that's a challenge to get out of though


I noticed this as well. Only a tennis balls throw from the ground. Hand written sign by the entrance. I'm tempted to give it a go. The bus from Mereoak is robbery.
