Well thank-you Giraffe. I thought it was a valid point, that's all.

I'm stunned that nobody has suggested the possibility that this could be 17 stewards and one senior position

Well yes, I understand what you are saying but I drive to away grounds all over the country and I have never experienced the level of draconian parking restrictions that there are at the Amex. Everywhere else you go you can park within a reasonable walking distance of the ground. I have to say that the transport infrastructure around the Amex is woeful and I'm sure that, if they could have built it again, they would have recognised and improved this problem.

Much of it was dictated by local authorities as a condition of the planning application. Not ideal for anyone, but there were no other viable sites.

Was it not a condition of planning permission ?

There may be too many Stewards but I doubt it is any Matchday staff that they are taking about. Its the day to day running of a business that incur losses not what happens for 4 hours one day every other week. I've been trying to get people here to understand for ages that it might look like we are making loads of money on Beer and food but we are not when you look at the cost to run the Amex seven days a week and thats without playing staff wages which probably is the biggest wage bill.

I understand that and I remember at the time on here there was a little thing below your username as to whether you wanted Falmer or not. I had 'yes' under mine. Little did I know the grief there would be surrounding driving to a match there! Anyway, it's not a problem for me now I suppose.

So, multiple car parks, multiple on site bus options,... a train station 100m from the ground, a major dual carriageway 100m from the ground,....... I see what you mean, woeful transport infrastructure, who wouldn't agree with you?!

Had to happen. Shame for those that lost their jobs - but the club is more important.
Next sort the stewarding out.

You're quite right, of course. My numbers are averages......

What are we meant to do, fling ourselves out on the dual carriageway at 60mph?
Use alternative methods of transport. How hard is that for you to understand?

Your parking gripes are irrelevant. And dull.

For someone who's gone to the trouble of not only registering on but infesting your rivals forum you know very little about our 14 year fight to the the Amex. Try reading build a bonfire poppet. Are you new to palace? Are you in fact plastic?

We also outsource those lovely women who give 1901ers the programme. They're a company based in London, I fully expect them to be shafted. Never did I understand why we had them.
