Salford Tickets : Wed Apr 01, 2009 7:38 am  

Just went on the Warrington website to buy tickets for the Salford match and was mightly shocked when I found out that they charge you £4.50 to post a tiny piece of card (This is not an April fools, if it was it would be the worst ever).

Also, having never been to Salford does anyone have any advice on good places to park the car, things to do in Manchester area, is the Willows close enough to walk to from the Trafford centre.

There's a car park/waste land behind the away stand, it used to be a school i think, not sure how much they charge, probably £5.

It's been that for a while I think.

Best place to park is the secure tram station car park just up the main road from the stadium. free parking, then you pay for the tram (will find out the name of the station shortly)

Ladywell, then it's one stop to Weaste.

To get to the Ladywell, come of the M602 at junction 2 and take the 3rd exit signposted the A57, then at the next roundabout turn left onto the A57 towards Salford, Ladywell is on the right hand side after 50 yards

I park at Ladywell too, highly worth it and quick and easy to get away from and totally secure.

Can also get the tram to Salford Quays to visit the Lowry, Imperial War Museum etc if your looking for something to do. Think the Trafford Centre is about a 5 min drive away.

Indeed, it's not too far from Ladywell car park to the Trafford Centre, maybe 30 minutes each way. Depends how much time you have to waste really, free parking at the TC though

I'm sure you would be annoyed if it went missing in the post. This way it doesn't.
