It will require the local council to allow Sir Stan's to be two-lane and one-way only for 30 minutes after the game has ended for it to be sorted out. All cars parked in all the car parks along Sir Stan's would only be able to egress via Trentham Road. Put a couple of traffic cops at both sets of lights by Aldi and job done. All other traffic should go via the A50 or over the bridge and via Heron Cross. OS. They'd take one look at you with that "What do you know old man" look and that would be that. You are spot on of course, but as you probably know by now, welcome to planet earth. Idiots runs the asylum and the rest have to suffer. |

It`s always bad on a night match , we go in on coach. But the number of cars coming away from the Britt before kick off is a major problem. I assume that these cars have been in to drop folk off. This needs to be stopped and the lights on the slip roads off the A50 need to be controlled by the police to ease traffic flow.

Nothing moves and the lights are not operated to get the Flow of traffic away from the site!
Load of shit.

Last night was the best it's been this season.
That should adequately illustrate how bad it has been this season.

Add to that the fact that there are traffic lights on Trentham Road by the Natwest bank and it saw traffic backed up to hem heath an hour after full time.

Nothing will change until they control taxi's or others attempting to drop off or pick up next to the ground ! What's the point of allocating bus parking slots if some dozey cow sits oblivious outside the seat garage blocking the road until her little soldier climbs into his seat ! Pathetic bang on |

the main problem of course is the roads around the stadium simply cannot cope with the sheer volume of traffic.[is this the reason we have not filled the corners in?]
if only we had a forward thinking council and invested for the future by building a space age monorail linking all 6 towns and Newcastle.it would take massive investment yes but it would pay for itself over the years, and also clear the traffic congestion around a500,a34,a50.
oh hang on if everyone used the monorail the council wouldn't be able to fleece us on parking charges and fines? another great idea binned.

I was fearing the worst as I stayed to clap all of the players off the pitch. I thought I'd be stuck in shit traffic but a quick jog up to the car parks up past the Audi garage saw me get straight off and home for quarter past 10. Still got some dickhead in a 4 x 4 trying pushing in front of me at a roundabout for no apparent reason though. They got a good ten seconds of horn blasting. Some utter bellends seem to drive on matchdays.
I always park up the top. Every time I've parked on the car parks towards Trentham Lakes (Pets At Home etc) it's been a colossal bollock ache.

We got in about 20 seconds before Nello got on the pitch, which is pretty shoddy considering we usually get in about 14:20ish if it's a Saturday. Seriously not great though and getting away wasn't much better. |

Fear not Stokies, the revolution is coming.
Woman with a crutch moving the cones and 'road closed' signs so the cars could get through last night up by the Power League.

This new lot that have taken over are bloody useless. The coppers had it spot on before and then they changed it? Why?

Pathetic When the police were doing it that wasn't an issue at all. That side used to run and free easy. You could get picked up there and be off at the top in 10 minutes. Now they've put cones there and don't actually move taxi's on. It still has litte effect on Sir Stanley Matthews Way though. |

I'd like to see trams in the city. A network wouldn't be that expensive to build and there is still space around the old Knotty lines to lay tracks on. This is about as likely as Stoke getting its own HS2 station, though.
As for parking...
The west car park during matchdays would only be available for coaches (enough spaces for all of them) and the disabled. There would also be a large pick-up/drop-off area on this car park, but exiting the area just before kick-off and entering just after full-time would not be allowed (which is why it would have to be pretty big). I would also make the whole of Trentham Lakes a CCTV-enforced red zone during matchdays, meaning not even dropping-off would be allowed. The same would apply to the A50, to stop people dropping off there. With the coaches now moved to the west car park, the south car park can be for all cars again.
Now for the slightly ambitious bit. I would build a whole new car park next to the Sainsbury's distribution centre, replacing the west car park, maybe with a couple of hundred more spaces. The footbridge over the railway line may need replacing with a much wider one.
Sorted?
