Car Parking

Interpol1 Speaks some wise words and you should be wary of this.

I do know a site where the Car Parking is ligit and is right next to an entrance and the main stage.

Stadium Way, just off of Wigmore Lane (Check it on a map to see how close it is) RG30 6BX.

They are charging £10 for a day ticket and £20 for a weekend ticket which covers you from Thursday to the Monday. Its manned 24 hours by security and they give you a parking permit and one to display in your car.

I also beleive you can pre-book and can supply the number to anyone who is interested.

I will be using it this year and will get there on the Thursday Morning.

Out of interest how would they know you're street wise or Glaswegian? Or do most muggers start up converstations nowadays before asking for peoples wallets etc?

Never used this area late a night so Glasto Worker could well be right.

although it never happened at Reading - many years ago I was approached early in the morning close to where I used to live by two young jokers one who pulled a knife out and I burst out laughing because in Glasgow people don't wave knives about and as soon as I spoke they went white as I do have a strong Glaswegian accent and the joker dropped the knife and one shot of one way and the other ran the opposite way - its just one of those things that muggers will tend to look for a easy life and most of the muggings in that area has happened to female staff.

I am a WBC organiser { with 20+ years experience } and our crew camp is close hence how I know the area and why so many staff had to use that road { many using it late at night } - and I know it was a common problem due to how remote it is - there is lots of hedges for muggers to hide in and as its a long road they can pick off suitable targets.

Although the Police patrol closer to the festival I have never seen any patrols near to Stadium Way Industrial estate.

If staff miss the minibus we tell them to use the main road and to stay in large groups and certainly there was no recent reports.
