So I've bought my 9 year old a ticket for Wolves match in just over a week.
Given it's 8pm I'm tempted to drive somewhere and walk or get a short train rather than commute on various trains/walks to save her struggling home. She's a bit wet.


Is there anywhere either within 20-30 minutes walk of the station where parking is easy, or a station with a car park a few stops away people can recommend?
I live south of the river, so I'm thinking maybe to drive north of Tottenham and work my way down?

I've got the same issue but whenever I think about that I end up defaulting to the Victoria line just because it is so easy. Driving just adds in extra stress. 20 minutes walk back to Tottenham Hale isnt too bad.

Mate used to park at Middlesex Hospital a couple of seasons ago but I wouldnt swear on it being a great move without researching it myself.

The stress for me is that she's slow A/F meaning we'll end up in a long queue at a station and then miss a connecting train and having to wait.
I can deal with/avoid all that on my own, but not with her in tow.

Tifo idea for the NLD.
 
So a post match report having taken mini-me for the first time.

We drove to Edmonton Green.
Satnav took us up the A2 through the Blackwall tunner then iirc the A406.

We parked at the shopping centre. There's a small car park sign posted as "short stay" but on the same sign, it also says 24hrs ??

Took a punt and parked in there. You pay on return. The sign said 20 minutes free, next hour £10? I asked a chap in the taxi office in the carpark and he said it was fine for longer.
Return to the car at about 11ish and the fee is £4 so who the hell knows?

The original plan was a half hour walk, but I was the only one keen on it (me, daughter and my brother)

So after trying out "Bim's" near the shops we hopped on the Overground train at Edmonton Green which is 2 stops to WHL.

All worked out nicely, no traffic, got there with plenty of time, no packed out trains.

Watch the match to the end. Again, I'd have just walked back to the car but littlun was moaning her "legs were tired" so reluctantly agreed to go to WHL again.

There was a queue and a bit of a squeeze but the thing that annoyed me was how dreadfully sign posted WHL station is from the stadium. I ended up going well, well out of my way going around the south stand and then double backing all the way down the west as the northbound entrance to WHL was north of the north stand, completely different to where we got off earlier.

Get back to the car, hit the nav to take us home. Much to my surprise it takes me towards the stadium, not away.
Headed towards the m11 with an eta of 11.38pm (about 50 minutes)
It's crawling all the way to the A13.
Get to the exit for the bridge and....tailbacks.
11.38 becomes 00.10 and it starts saying to double back up the A13 and go back through the blackwall tunnel. Fcuk that, I'm not "far" from home.
I took the chance and got on the bridge and it goes to 1.35am eta ffs.
And then after 15 minutes it goes back to 00.10am
Bridge is closed, so down to a tunnel.

So anyway, long story short, I'd probably have got home 30-45 minutes earlier without traffic and about the same on my usual trains.

Worked at Edmonton Green many years ago. Do not think I would want to leave my car in that car park in the evening.

So I sat in different seats in the stadium on Saturday up in the north-west corner and that the end of halftime about three or four minutes into the game. I had to run them back to pick up a packet of crisps for one of my kids and I couldn’t believe how many people were still standing around drinking pints not watching the game. You don’t really get that so much in the south lower. I couldn’t really believe it to tell you the truth. Why would you bother even going to the game if you’re just gonna stand and have a beer into the second half?
