Reading FC parking joke

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:

Actually it says it on the parking permit

Had same issue but plenty to discuss on the way back

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.
