I live in Kent near the Dartford Crossing and travelled to the matches by car, parking at Westfield. The walk from there to the stadium was bearable but after the match, just getting to the Car Park was at least 10 minutes longer. For some reason, stewards would stand behind another one across the narrowest pat of the walkway, leaving gaps just wide enough for one fan to get through at a time and regularly stopping everybody. As all traffic was stopped from using Westfield Avenue (which had to be crossed to get to the Car Park) there was no need to interrupt the pflow of walkers. Once at the Car Park, using a different route from arriving, due to the best route being closed off, it was then 10 minutes queuing to pay for parking, then 5 minutes waiting for the lift. Worse part though was having reahed my car, I did not move at all from the parking space for 1 hour. This eventually turned out to be because officials blocked the exits from the floor above until all cars wanting to leave had cleared the lowest floor, then they allowed the next floor to leave. Having had to park on the 9th Floor, this was a long wait. I now go by train then the DLR to Stratford International and walk from there.<br />I noted your comment about the overpriced bars in Westfield but the food stalls both inside and outside the Stadium are just as bad, charging £7.50 for a Cheeseburger| Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429263903861598220noreply@blogger.com
