The Everton Forum • Re: BMD Travel Options
It's just going to take a bit of getting used to but I said to a mate yesterday I'd have no notion of being there for the game, pissing down with rain, walking for ages to and from the ground and taking forever to get away from your seat at full time. It's not actually that much further by car from where we parked at Goodison to where we parked at HDS for the Villa game but we were about an hour and half later getting home. The only consolation was once we got back to the car the traffic was a bit quieter.
We didn't go to many games at Goodison over the winter as the journey can be a bit dodgy but I doubt we'll be back for a game until later in the season now. I've a couple of older mates who'd like to go to a game but without being able to pick your seats and the walk to and from the ground they'd probably struggle a bit if we were parked far away and at the top of the South Stand again.
It's probably the same for most fans, it's not exactly a residential area so I doubt there's many fans who have a 5-10 minute walk from the house to the ground now but for all Goodison was in a built up area there was always plenty of places to park fairly close the ground. The problem with HDS seems to be that you either park further away and have to walk further, or park closer but then you're almost too close the ground so it takes ages for the roads to clear. We walked back up Boundary Street to the car and it just seemed like absolute chaos.
