I'm sure an ex-Echo reporter will give us a searing critique of the local statesmen who made an utter 'kin bollocks of the transport plan for this stadium. Can't wait to hear Paddy's report on the meeting.
The only solution to this utter mess that Rotheram has caused is to have in the short term thousands more cars involved in the delivery of fans to that stadium and their exit from the area. The plan for less emissions boasted for the new stadium has to be put one side or there's going to be fatalities at pinch points in public transport.
The solution is to get Costco to sling their hook and then flatten a load of other buildings for car parks within a very short distance of the stadium.
IIRC the plan was to have around 8,000 parking specs within a 30 minute walk of the stadium. That'll have to be at least doubled to take the strain and mitigate the problem.
It's not ideal, but Rotheram with his thumb stuck up his arse for 5 years has necessitated that move. It's going to need something drastic like that short term (two or three seasons) to make the new stadium a viable new venue...and in the meantime all talk about what's viable from a market perspective has to be thrown out the window. We have the Euro2028 games at the new stadium so let's have some public cash pumped in there Mr Starmer....you know, for 'growth'.
