Fans Call For Better Arena Pedestrian Access

Last updated : 28 June 2005 By Covsupport
Posters on the Gary Mabbutt's Knee website have called for Coventry City Council to provide better access for pedestrians to the Arena.

Said one poster: "There will have to be proper access from all directions for pedestrians as they expect everyone to walk to the place. People are going to be walking across Tesco's car park in their thousands, whether Tesco like it or not, as it is the easiest way from the Longford side.

"The club and council have been remarkably quiet about the park and ride (and park and walk) facilities too. What will they cost? If they are too expensive they will not get used. People need to know so that they can decide how they are going to get there. Let us have some details."

Covsupport and the Sky Blue Trust are backing the calls and feel that every effort should be made by Arena Coventry and Coventry City Council to make sure that everyone can get to and from the Arena as safely as possible.
