Reading FC parking joke

Post by Snowyash »

Just got held hostage in a car park next to the stadium. Delibrate entrapment by the management ‘to allow pedestrians to leave first’. Taken an hour just to make it to the motorway, let alone the 2 hour drive home.

No mention on the tickets about being held for that time, but a little white sign on entry to the car park does.

Pretty standard. Obviously a massive pain but you can’t risk a lord of fans being run over by inpaitent drivers

The park and ride from the M4 junction was very efficient. I got home 20 minutes ago (to Kent). Quicker than when we are at home. The wife going to expect me home earlier in future :shock:

It is on the club’s website under the section that details the car parking available.

We were in #6 and cars were flowing by the time we’d walked (quickly) back there.
