The parking situation around the club has always been farcical. It’s probably the one major barrier that stops people attending. Especially those coming from outside Swansea. It’s a fair trek from the train station too so options are very limited. |  |

From the train station walk down the tunnel to new cut road and catch the new shuttle. |  | | |

Excellent idea, I wonder if this could spread to cover the Llansamlet/Winch Wen area where I know a lot of support comes from. |  |

Plenty of space at the old Velindre site as well. | | | |

Out of interest what's happened to the Virgin Media car park? Wasn't it sold as a car park? And have I got this right, the matchday car park next to the park and ride is currently closed but will be turned into the new park and ride car park once the current park and ride will be handed over to this thingy up Kilvey and the Penderyn Distillery? Good god they're exting the Sky thing and the distillery to be hella popular aren't they if they need that many parking spaces. Penderyn HQ ain't that busy, do you reckon they are going to be disappointed in their expectations. Can't imagine there will be huge queues to go up Kilvey on a Saturday in November when it's pissing down the rain. | | | |

Successful tourist attractions are pro active in the off season. If it was my business I would have a Christmas theme at the top with Santa's Grotto and othe festive attractions. Yes in my opinion the Skyline car park (previously the park and ride) will be busy even in the winter. I would imagine slowly the shuttle busses if successful will be developed over time to encourage supporters to arrive earlier to increase match day spend. Its nothing new clubs like Brighton have been doing free public transport to matches for years. Im pretty sure its about a 10 mile radius and all public transport including trains. | | | |

I assume that proactivety could include charging Swans fans to park in unused spaces at quieter times? Also, as someone says, they could add an extra one from the former Felindre site for people coming from west Wales. | | | |

Correct. The Velindre site would be perfect for West Wales supporters not to mention people who live in Llangyfelach  | | | |

I would imagine they may well open up the car park for evening matches in the winter but I can’t see them having much space on the weekends. As for the Felindre site. I think both the current routes have a relatively quick route to the Stadium along Morfa road. On a matchday the roads from Felindre are clogged with traffic and without bus lanes so travelling is slower possibly not practical to provide a service. We will just have to see how this pans out, we desperately need Landore station to reopen. | | | |

I used it today from Wellington Road and I'll be using it every match
Seems to be plenty of buses although not much of an uptake today but with the reduction in parking around the stadium I think we'll see it become more popular |  | | |

Used the Fabian Way shuttle. £5 to park in the P&R….and £5 a person for the shuttle…..£15 for the two of us. The organisation was good….but no one seemed to know about the operating times for evening games.
Will I use it again? Not at £15 for a couple I won’t. | | | |

The public transport buses were free yesterday which probably took some footfall away from the shuttle busses. | | | |

It's free for season ticket holders and also for any members of the Jack Army. You might have been the only one paying! | | | |

The guy asked us if we were season ticket holders, to which we answered yes, but didnt ask to see them. I didnt see anyone either showing their season ticket or paying.
Coming from the East, we were delayed by an accident on the M4 at Bridgend, and were worried we might miss ko. Got to Fabian Way P&R about 2:25 and were in our seats at 2:50.
Coming out, very smooth. Got to the M4 much quicker than previously.
Previously we used landore park and walk but last season switched to Virgin media for a quicker exit. Was all set to buy a virgin media parking season ticket this year. Hope it reopens. |  |
