Difficulty with location is getting cars past anti-vehicle barriers & one hour pre & post game/event road closures. Unless its near full all year round it might be difficult to get a justifiable ROI.
Think I'm missing the point, but multi-storey, combined with thousands walking down the regent rd, pre/post match, is a recipe for another car queue getting out? Unless of course the car parks not for fans on match days
There are hard and soft road closures around the ground which limits any vehicle movements. That being said, the vehicle barriers on Regent Road are positioned after the access/egress to Nelson Dock so suspect they would still allow traffic in and out and manage it accordingly, it's no different to events at any number of major venues around the country.
Any MSCP on Nelson Dock would only effectively be replacing the temporary surface car park that is there now and is completely full on match days. If the club want to have a stadium and complementary development that is active all year round then they are going to need parking. Whether that is ultimately on Nelson Dock or elsewhere i don't know. However, they have tried twice to incorporate an MSCP into the stadium design, and have now got a huge surface car park (albeit temporary). I'd be quite frankly amazed if an MSCP isn't in their thinking for future development.
