Poor standard! Think the funniest thing with the cas supporters, they were commenting that the toilets actually had sinks in to wash yr hands after! As for parking, lettge club knowyouhad issues, I know it does not help you but might be useful for other fans. Ground is far from perfect as you will see if you read all the comments on here, but it’s what we have for now at least you had room to spread out in the stand, Hull filled it!

tried to park in the car park and pay £5.... couldnt do it... went on your website beforehand and cant pre purchase one either
wasnt the only giants fan to find this too... ah well you miss out on the revenue. poor setup all round really not super league standard like cas and wakefield.
It's not lost revenue, its sold out parking so maximised revenue.

well yes hull have more fans.
still thought we had a good turnout of giants fans, not so many london fans to say they have a had good start to the season.
just felt like a poor setup to me, expect more for super league.. but then london really were a shock promotion so no one really expected it!

Yep, it would be nonsense to sell parking when it's already capacity !! There may have been some spaces yesterday but that will likely be from season parking pass holders who did not attend (it seemed like a poor turnout yesterday). Difficult for the club to know if those who have paid for season will show up.

The ground isn't the best but it facilitates where London are today. We could share Arsenal or Spurs grounds and be a little like Hudds, a couple of thousand rattling around in an oversized ground with a big rent bill to boot.
We have pre paid parking and were told on arrival at 2pm, that the parking was full and we would have to turn around and park outside of the ground. Whilst in the process of explaining my annoyance, suddenly a parking space was found. Parking is an issue at many grounds in Super League, in my experience.

I would not bother myself about Trailfinders Stadium if I were you. You rattle around in your soulless stadium in the comfort of knowing how easy it was to park there! Or is it?

This contribution only served to remind me how I have so often questioned why this pointless Giants club still exist in SL. A crowd base that whilst marginally better than ours is hugely embarrassing for a team where the game was born, but the big difference, London offer potential, Huddersfield does not. As for the ground, second class citizens at a hugely oversized ground vs a tidy, small venue appropriate to current demands.
