Dirk Gently I thought it wasn't too bad yesterday (red car park) - it was half empty already when I got to it 2 minutes after the final whistle.

Yesterday they started the cars leaving earlier than usual, the guys marshalling the buses down Northern Way were getting annoyed and were on their walkie-talkies trying to get the cars stopped. So don't know if this is a new policy or just a mistake. It was a bit dangerous for us pedestrians IMO.

Jackson Corner People who moan about the parking clearly never go to away games. Last season it took me over an hour to get out of Southampton. Villa this season the same and I missed most of the first half. Get used to it I'm afraid it goes with being in the Premiership. Just wait till we go to Chelsea Spurs and Arsenal there is no parking at all.

Fraid your wrong there mate. And at away matches I dont pay £95.00 for a parking space tho'.
If you are happy with substandard 1960's customer service - good for you. Suppose I should have look at your user name - says it all.

But woe-betide anyone who stands up for a nano-second in the ground.
As usual RFC have their safety priorities totally the wrong way round. After every game there is some twat on a megaphone down the B&Q slope telling 20,000 people to "keep on the path, there are buses coming through". No you fool, make the buses wait 5 mins until the pedestrians clear.

Spot on - I don't see why they let the buses go when the road is full of pedestrians. I guess it'll take someone getting mowed down by a bus before it gets looked into.

So you think that taking £95.00 of someone for parking then completely f**king it up has nothing to do with customer service?
And no I don't expect to leave immediately after the game, the holding back of cars to allow the pedestrians to clear is, given the way the exits from the ground have been constructed, a very sound way of operating.
What I do object to is, after going into the Jazz Cafe to watch the results then walking back to the car, being stuck in gridlock at the bottom of the car park for 40 mins.
This had nothing to do with the A33 traffic - it was clear, It had nothing to do with pedestrians - they had long gone, it had nothing to do with the buses they were also long gone.
It had everything to do with Reading FC and their inept stewards coning off half an already congested exit.

Tutti Frutti The buses wait 15 minutes before they go already. That's plenty of time to get the rush of supporters down the hill. I'm at the back of Y24, the last area of the ground to clear and can be down the hill easily 15 mins after the end of the game. I doubt RFC should take action because its supporters are stupid enough to walk in the middle of the road. Besides, the whole idea is to make the buses a more attractive option than driving - if you let everyone get back to their cars before the buses go, what's the point of the buses?
