Will the Toys R Us car park be open for tonight's game? Or is it just the parking around the back and opposite the pool only? TIA

 

[Pondlife]

Both ToysRus and Wilcox Hse available for £3 a car tonight

 

[Bb15]

Thanks for the swift response! Can't wait for tonight.

First time I've parked in Toysrus. Never again. Haven't moved an inch for 20 mins. I'll stick to Morrisons.

 

[Bb15]

Yeah, last time for myself. Free for all leaving there, no manners or courtesy.

 

[hip check]

Out in about a minute but did leave immediately after the final hooter and legged it straight over, sitting in block 4 helps as the exit door is straight across the road from the rink.
I have been stuck there a few times before and it's taken me 5-6 mins to exit but no longer than that.

That’s the Friday/Saturday crowd for you!

45 mins I was in there. Then had to go from Cardiff to Port Talbot via Cowbridge due to road works. Got home to Llanelli 10 mins ago. Ah well, at least hockey is back

It will be Morrisons from now on though, parked there for the last 7 years. Will carry on lol

The way the traffic lights work there only 2 or 3 cars can get out at a time and then there's a long delay for the lights to go green again. I parked in there once a year ago never again. You're much better off parking in wilcox House.

Ive used wilcox house for the last 2/3 seasons much easier getting out for sure

Why not just park over by the Oystercatcher and walk in over the footbridge. Ok, that will take 5 mins longer than parking in Wilcox/Toys r Us, however, you’ll encounter no queues at the end of the game, and you’ll save yourself £3 also!

Hopefully the request to use the Toys R Us car park at Watkiss way access will be granted, or, be used INSTAED of the current madness at the traffic lights will be accepted by the council, room for hundreds of cars and easy exit options.

Unless you're from the area you probably don't know about that. Personally I park in Nuffield. Slightly further out from wilcox house but saves me 3 quid. (I used to park in Global Reach but they put cameras up and started dishing out fines)

As with any car park it depends what you want. Park as close to the arena as possible then you will get delays. Park near the exit your out in 5/10 mins
We try and park in front of Vaccines are us - near the arena good guick exit. So no complaints. It does mean getting there a bit before the doors open though
BTW never really suffered bad manners from other motorist.

Just an update to share...Cardiff Council have just notified me that their control centre has set up a plan to allow more green light time to help the flow of traffic exiting from the Vaccine Centre site, so hopefully a noticeable improvement tomorrow.

Terrific news, that alteration to the traffic light is much needed.

 

[Earnie]

Only if you are in that car park?

A little tip for those parking in the rink or swimming pool car parks, if when you get to the roundabout on corner of swimming pool you can see the traffic queuing past ToysRUs, unless you plan to go right at Morrisons go straight on instead of turning right. It’s usually a LOT quicker.
