You can however be sat in traffic for 2 hours after a game before you even reach the motorway.
Maybe he is actually sitting in traffic, as he doesn't have a car?

I don't like to 'leave early to miss the traffic'!

Gave it an hour after kick off hour before we left, and it still took an hour to get to the motorway, All of the roads immediately around VP were absolutely gridlocked. The trouble is, a lot of the surrounding side streets are too small to comfortably get two cars passing down them, so they get blocked and that has a knock on effect everywhere.
In light of recent events, I have changed my mind about us expanding a couple of stands to bring capacity up to 50,000.Expand all four and let's be bigger than the Nou Camp, please. #announcemassivefuckoffground
Quote from: Brassneck on July 25, 2019, 08:23:44 AM...For me and most other fans, staying put is a must. We have the infrastructure and accessibility as shown in the past when we’ve hit gates of between late 40s to 60 odd thousand.I would be happy to somehow add 5000-10,000 by tweaking the existing ground, filling in the corners etc. We have great land at the back of the NS and we’re possibly missing a trick by not taking advantage of it fully. Perhaps an additional 5,000-10,000 would act as a stop gap for a while to allow time to evaluate whether a complete redevelopment of the NS and ground behind is viable.Imagine (or dream) if we could make a real impact on the top 6 again. 50,000 gates are far from being unrealistic. I have no idea of the revenue in comparison to initial outlay but with a rebuild NS, there is scope for more hospitality areas. Not everyone likes hospitality but we all have to accept that it’s part of modern football.All well and good.The biggest challenge VP has now is accommodating car-parking. As someone who comes in every home game form the North, I'm finding I have to arrive 2.5-3 hours ahead of kick-off to get a decent parking space.I'd also add that I think growing the merchandising around the ground gives matchday more of a carnival 'feel' and this develops the whole experience.

I get a lift from there on midweek games and always plenty of fans walking back that way so clearly plenty parking with the huge amount of spaces on offer.
