Why don't the Stadium people charge for parking ? £1 would be acceptable for home fans,£2 for away speccies & it could help other financial problems LSV is experiencing.

he may have been a mental disabled, it is hard to tell the difference.

I would think that the LSV site is still private land and the roads are unadopted as yet, or like was said there would be Local Authority parking restrictions applied for.

If I nip into the club during the week to buy tickets or sort the lottery out or whatever, I admit I park in one of the disabled bays in front of the West Stand.

It's really not because of laziness, it's because no other bugger is there. But being a stubborn bugger I cant see the point of rules for rules sake. I could play pitch and put on that car park without fear of damaging a car.

If they were chock full of disabled folks cars parked at the day care centre thing then fair enough, but its not. Paul Rowleys car might be there or maybe Dave Bradshaws, but thats it. Nowt else.

Are they going to clamp or ticket me for that?

Good call Watcher. The only downside they would have to delay KO every week as they struggle to get 2000 speccies in for 3pm. If they had to collect parking fees as well, any revenue generated would be lost in fines to the RFL for delayed KO.

They could install ticket machines like those on the market car park & if people didn't get a ticket & display it,the new wardens would slap a fine on them thus generating more income for LSV.

What a blinding idea!! Charge folk to park up to buy match tickets!! Winner!!



Why not go the whole hog and charge a booking fee too?

The Watcher is obviously talking about match day parking

Which is not the problem we are discussing here

No problem having 30 odd disabled parking spaces when we have a couple of thousand people attending a match

But to have 30 odd disabled parking spaces outside a building with 16 people in it and then to clamp somebody for visiting that building is quite simply crazy

That is what is going to happen

The Watcher is led to believe that the complaints received by LSV about inproper use of disabled parking spaces refer only to match days.

You've done it now!

No they refer to the parking outside the sports centre and the college , it is also not just the disabled parking spaces but parking ' on the road ' outside the sports centre

Match days are not a problem as the disabled area outside the west stand and the car park behind the south stand are stewarded from 6 am

Well they do work after all , just drove past and they are shut

Must have been reading this board

It makes you wonder doesn't it

While they're on about safety how about getting the main roads finished off around the place to keep my suspension on my car in one piece before I send a big bill to Wigan Council for the state of the roads.

I realise there is building work still to be done but they've finished the road and the back of the North Stand but they others are all rutted and full off raised man hole covers.

Good. Might contact this guy about the roads then because I'd like some answers.

In that case, if you are reading this esteemed LSV staff, ticket office staff excluded, you are a bunch of complete **s**** and ****e** who couldn't organise * **s* ** ** * *******.

Yes but there is a carpark at the south end of the west stand which is a 50 yard walk to the ticket office. Do me a favour. If you can't walk that you deserve a ticket.

Noticed that last night - the main road in to the complex is an absolute shocker. Glad I park behind the North Stand or my suspension would be knackered.

the road is unadopted therfore the council would take no responsibility for repairs, yet we are told that the council now own the LSV, confusing or what?
I want to know is why the 'plan' changed? in that Greenbank were supposed to run the LSV for 5 years fully tenant it and hand it over without any outstanding debt to the Stadium company.
If the council do 'own' the LSV why is there a seperate LSV compqny with Mr Jones as Chairman?
Have the 'partners' in the LSV enterprise ever actually met? and if so how many times? and when was the last meeting? and can the minutes be viewed anywhere?
If thje council is council owned why is my Council tax money wasted on the stadium exterior lighting being left fully on all night?
Id email these to the LSV but no-one ever seems to reply.

the LSV has turned into a dictatorship.
the partners are ignored.
5 cronies at the top "lording" over their own little Island

I think they're paid for by LSV Co (the Stadium Co are responsible for the upkeep of the entire site), so it's being paid for by any stadium income.
