Official Car park - easy to get off?

[spongemadge]

I have a works doo at the Bescot stadium on Sat so I need to leave the game @ 16:30

I normally park away from the ground so can anyone tell me if I go on the official car park will I get off straight away if I leave the match early????

I dont want to miss this one as I work with loads of baggies

Sponge -
leaving at 4.30 you'll have no problem. Unless we're getting hammered and the game is dead and buried and people are leaving in droves*. I leave with 5-6 mins to go usually (I hate having to do it I have to add) , and get away with minimal delay or maybe 10 minutes hold up at the most.

I find that if the game is a tight draw or we are a goal down and battling to equalize then 5 mins is plenty of time to exit the South Car Park (especially if you can sprint for the car). If we're either: a) p*ssing it or b) getting p*ssed on, then people leave in higher numbers. At 4.30 like I say though, you'll be fine.


* However , it's West Brom we're talking about! ;D

iceland is of course right about this if you happen to get caught in the scrum by leaving after the whistle or in the mad rush when things aren't going our way. I'm convinced that viewed from the air, the scene is probably something like a thousand metal salmon desperately trying to squeeze through one tiny gap in a net.
