Maximum impact timing with the press release I’d imagine.

Well they are running out of time. Don't see why they couldn't release it today? Looking at the back of the Echo today nothing much on there, just a little bit about one crazy speedway rider wanting to walk to the hospital with a broken collarbone..the guy is nuts imo! ;) Football news Sat and Mon! Just leaves tomorrow then.

Lots of parking if you get there early, there is an overflow car park in a field opposite the stadium which is a nightmare to get out of and I’d expect that to be used on Wednesday so try and avoid having to go in there! Parking is free.

I'm making the trip up to watch the Pirates win! Can you Kings Lynn fans tell me what the parking is like at the stadium, are there plenty of spaces? what time it opens? charges?

Thanks

There is plenty of parking at the stadium, they will probably open the overflow car park as well. I daresay it will open around 5pm, possibly even earlier. There are no charges for parking,.

We are also coming up and it’s the absolute worst of journeys. Certainly worth leaving no later than mid day as you never know what delays will be on route. Even worse coming back as half the roads are normally closed for maintainance adding at least a further hour on the trip. Guess we will float back if we win but it will feel twice as far if we are defeated.

There’s very little to do in Kings Lynn when you get there. Has a quay but little in the way of tourism. The town isn’t worth a visit. I tend to head to the retail park off the big roundabout for something to eat before heading into the stadium. There’s a Pizza Hut there which is better than the stadium cafe/outlet.

In the past Poole fans tend to congregate on the first bend. A decent view and you can see into the pits.

Nothing wrong with Kings Lynn town centre, head to the tuesday market place. Would agree with you regarding the food in the stadium though, its pretty poor.

If heritage is your thing then King’s Lynn is full of it and we’ll worth half a day of your time. If not then the North Norfolk coast and plenty of other interesting places are an other 20-30 minutes in the car beyond Lynn. Unfortunately the roads get slower the closer to Norfolk you get :D

I live in Bucks so not as far to go as you Poole residents! Also I've booked me and the wife in to a pub about 10 miles from the stadium, so we can have a meal there and don't have to  rush back home after the meeting. First bend sounds good.

KL town centre is a lovely place, well worth a visit... I enjoyed it more than my trip to KL speedway (abandoned Vs Leicester)

Plenty of room in the car park which you will find is open all day. on big matches they also can use a field on the other side of the road     

I park on the industrial estate, only 100 yards from the stadium, easier to get away after the meeting.
