Car Parking

[Bill Kent]

For them that may know. If we catch coaches for Wembley at Stonebridge. Is there anyone making arrangements for us to park our vehicles at the Eurostar car park C for the day and at what cost. Thanks.

Pity Eurostar couldn't lay on half a dozen special trains, Ebbsfleet to St Pancras, then a short hop on the tube to Wobbly.

Given the publicity Eurostar are likely to receive, I would hope they let Fleet supporters park for £3 all all, as we are likely to fill the place with about 5000 cars. Fantastic revenue for them for one day, and without us feeling ripped off.

Excellent idea CG. Have you progressed it any further?

Who intends driving home after ? Going to be a dry day for some if we win !!

[David Holden]

Exactly, I cannot believe that anyone seriously wants to drive that day.

[Bill Kent]

Surely David, you can't believe we are all p--s heads. Some of us have to be responsible and think of others.

To avoid panic on the streets, I was only joking !! I am a professional pedestrian ! They tell you not to drink & drive, so I just drink !! I will be in my senior navigator's position on May 10th !!

Cheers,

Sadly because of where I live I will be forced to complete at least part of the journey by car. But I ain't driving all the way! Any suggestions like using the Eurostar car park sound pretty good to me! I would hope our new owners are already in negotiation with Eurostar to get something sorted...

I have information that the dialogue on the car parking has been opened,

[Fleetbabe]

Hi All,

 

Just a quick note from us here at the club. (yes it is official, not just rumour), Greg has been in discussions with NCP, and the car park will be available on May 10th, but at this point negotiations are still ongoing as to what, if any, charges there will be on the day. We will post more information nearer to the time, and it will also be released with the other important final information.

 

Thanks

Thanks for that - good news as far as I'm concerned!

Don't forget folks, there is a strictly enforced no-parking zone on match days around the stadium. See the boundaries here:

Public Transport is the best way, but.....A little tip.......There are a few pubs within that exclusion zone, where you can park your car and walk............I have done it several times before in the past!

It won't happen, Andy. Eurostar are not licenced to carry domestic passengers yet on the high speed line - strictly international only.
I was working at Ebbsfleet a couple of weeks ago, an old boy (rather drunk), alighted by mistake thinking he was at St Pancras.
They wouldn't let him on again. He got a taxi to Northfleet station to Charing X, then tubed to St Pancras.

CG,

 

I've sent an email to the commercial dept at Eurostar re your suggestion on the forum. Am awaiting a response, it may be 'pie in the sky' but if you don't ask you don't get.

The club are already in negotiations regarding car parking. A whole day is very expensive - hopefully a deal can be done for those either travelling by train from northfleet or by coach.
