Boots & Laces

[Southminster Shrimper]

Hi guys, not sure where to put this feel free to put it somewhere else if need be.

I was wondering, i have never been to Boots & Lades before and wondering what the parking is like? Is there a parking charge too?

Thanks for your help!

It has a car park yeah and there is no parking charge, it's the training ground so the players and officials park there. It's not a public car park.

Waitrose next door you can use.

If you're feeling adventurous, park in Waitrose, far left hand side of their car park. Stealthily creep round the left hand side of Waitrose and then bunk in over the fence to Boots and Laces.

You'll have no problem parking in Boots & Laces... There are always plenty of free spaces, and they don't seem to have a problem if you watch and keep out of the way. PB occasionally makes time to come over and have a chat with some fans... and even Ron Martin has been known to show his face there too, and is actually quite a pleasant bloke to speak to.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Thank you, i assume it will be ok for me to park there as i am training with the players, if not i will happily park over at Waitrose.

Thank you for the replies everyone!

any chance you can take a screwdriver along + start putting the old Soccer dome together while you are there ? :winking:

 

[OldBlueLady]

People are generally welcome along at B&L as long as they don't encroach into the training schedule so don't go expecting to get stuff signed or photos with players! Parking nearly always available on site.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

No not at all, i would not expect that. I am having lucnch with them so might get a chance to chat to a couple of them.

Hope the food is better than when I had lunch with the players

I must be in the minority, having never eaten with the players! Nearest i've been to that is a half time chocolate bar in the East Greens!
