Wouldn't it be better if they just tried to implement the Green Plan as it is written?

You said you didn't open for Cov games due to a lack of demand, you also defend Wasps for thinking there may be a large unpredictable demand, maybe you could help Wasps with your knowledge of the low demand.

That's not true though is it, as you know there's been games when the restrictions haven't been in place.

I'm asking you about you deciding about opening your car park, what are you going to do, write yourself an email?:banghead:

How far in advance do you make this decision, as surely it's impossible to predict the demand with our huge walk up?

If more people knew they were unnecessarily paying for parking then more people would be complaining.

Yes, likely, as opposed to unlikely, which would be the case for most of our games this season.

I really didn't say that.

Yeah, what Nick said, it was known long in advance, it was hardly a large walk up on the day. You just throw random stuff in, it's like arguing with my missus, but without the risk of not getting my shirts ironed.

I got it from what you said, but it was 30 minutes ago so you've probably changed your mind now. The Council and Wasps don't read the plan that way, Wasps have said they estimate the crowd, they wouldn't need to if it was all football matches.

Ok, so based on this response we can now take it that it doesn't actually take very long to sort the signs, and that the streets wouldn't suddenly be clogged up as a lot of people would still pay for parking. I think you've finally agreed with the rest of us.

I have a sneaky suspicion that they would find the time to get the signs changed, there's too much parking money at stake, however that would also mean you've made the 3 weeks timescale up, so it's a tricky one to decide.:emoji_money_mouth:

So if there was a big Cup replay there wouldn't be any restrictions as they wouldn't have 3 weeks to print the signs?

What are the rules for turning some land into a car park, do you need planning permission?

Wasps valuers covered themselves just in case.

I'd buy a pin badge of it, as long as you sort the elephants front leg. Although the bent knee adds a bit of sexiness, surely It would also mean the leg wouldn't reach the ground, whereas it looks longer than the leg nearest to us. If the elephant has a physical impairment, or the long leg was...

Certainly at least 1 of the FA Cup games didn't have restrictions, which goes to show they can pick and choose which games need them on a flexible basis.

I haven't sent a follow up, I don't think it will achieve anything. ACL have said they put the order in for the parking restrictions, and they obviously aren't bothered whether they get their estimated attendances correct, the Council say they just carry out enforcement based on the signs. I...

I don't think there's any need for a delay in changing direction though, its not as if the restriction notices have already been put up. I'm more frustrated that it's the people making the money out of the parking that get to decide.

This is what the Council said. Thank you for your email regarding the attendance figures for the Ricoh Arena on event days . The attendance figures are gained as part of the green travel plan agreement which is separate from the council. They base their estimations on various information...
