At the moment it's great - train into town/tram to Weaste.
Initially we (12 of us) will be using the stadium parking,600 for cars plus coach parking, in the early stages of next season the area for the retail development will be available for cars,this was said at a couple of meetings,before anyone asks.
The alternatives for us will be- (a)Get to Eccles and park up. (b)67 or any other bus to the stadium or walk it. (c)Park up around the Willows and tram to Eccles then bus to stadium.
Eventually if there is a requirement the bus companies may/should put on specials from various locations to and from the ground.

Was out in Eccles last week, those pubs in bold cost less than £3 for a pint of bitter and larger. Think we can all drink to that
Had to edit the post, I messed up the quote! Basically The Nags Head and Town Hall you can get 2 pints for less than 3 for the queens finest £

I take it you've never been in the Willows then ? without doubt the worst beer I've ever had anywhere including giggs and soleless stadia.

Sadly some of us live at a place wheree public transport is a no no unless I want the pithecanthropic company of an all-night bus to Rochdale. It may be, as the roads will be so jammed, that journeys will be a key factor in my continuing physical support at Salford.
