Yep the smug "p&r should be for parkers only", have no thought to the pain it is to get to the Amex by public transport from Dyke Road/Hove Park area! I don't live there btw (I come in from Kent).
Or otherwise, exactly as Watford Zero suggests, if they change it to parkers only, the locals...
So with all the subsequent stories of woe on this thread do you feel any more informed now as to why people might leave early? And so we can judge your view properly, care to tell us from how far away you journey to Amex?
