    Gally mate.
    Can you ask him when will they sort out the massive problems at full time with cars trying to exit the main car park.
    When arriving there are about a hundred jobs worths telling you where to park. At the end of the game there is no one. Its only a matter of time before there is an accident or more likely a punch up due to there being nobody to sort out the traffic flow. Please ask him if we can have a few stewards or preferably a couple of coppers to smooth the traffic flow.
    I've been to almost 80 grounds watching the Reds and cannot readily think of a worse car parking set up than ours.
    Thankyou.

    The car park really is bad, and the traffic leaving the ground just grinds to a halt, it's a shame as we get a flyer every match back to Hull as the whistle goes to avoid being stuck for 45 mins.

    1 - How come we havent been told about Luke Potter's latest serious injury?
    2 - Does Miles Addison cost us anything? Because if he does, why didnt we keep Nathan Doyle and send the loanee back to struggling Derby who probably need him. The lad Shackell at the back is having a mare so Im told. He used to play for us once apparently...
    3 - ADVERTISE THE GOOD TICKET OFFERS - not just online
    Thanks Gally

    1) Why don't you use local colleges, universities and job centres to bring in work experience people for free to lower the workrate of others? I'm sure lots of different departments at Oakwell could do with the extra help in this cheap way.

    2) What do you think of Keith Hill being a Drifters fan?

    I park in the disabled riding school on ponty road

    Little bit longer walk, but all traffic goes down the same path, it's a quid cheaper than the club, and although the money isn't going to the club, it does help a good cause. You aren't waiting long to get out, so long as you get out before the police stops trafic to get visiting supporters busses out.

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Given the exponential increase in prices throughout football when compared to the average income, and given the ongoing pressures throughout the entire European economy and their impact on future growth and hence the general acceptance that there's no quick fix to the problem, I'd like to ask Don if he thinks that Cliff Richard has ever...you know?...done it? And more to the point, does he think that Cliff has ever...you know?...done it with Hank from the Shadows?

    I'd also prefer if this question was asked in a Monty Python 'a nudge and a wink' stylee.

    So you don't want the stewards to tell you where to park but want them to tell you when you can leave the car park ?

    Last home game something came very close to kicking off at full time by the burger van. People trying to cross the road and a car from the right was speeding along far too quick to say they were dozens of people around in the dark. Anyway the car nearly went into a young kid and his father and the lads with him were banging on his car and swearing at him. Other complete strangers joined in abusing the driver also for coming so close to knocking a young kid down. It's a good job the driver manage to speed off quickly before his car had fist and foot prints all over it and he got pulled out, which looked the next step. Never understand why we don't have anyone down there looking after traffic.

    It's mental down there. Very little lighting in the dark, dozens of cars rushing along with no respect for pedestrians and nobody looking after things down there. You can guarantee if someone got put in hospital down there or worse, we would have someone down there as of the next home game. It shouldn't have to come to that. Half hour between 4:45 and 5:15 would make so much difference for a measly half hour.

    Another thing Don should be asked is if he was disapointed in under 10,000 home fans for the only South Yorkshire derby in the championship, despite prices being reduced :)
