On my way back to the car this morning following my altercation on arrival I stopped to have a chat with the man on the gate.
He had got onto the phone to whoever is advising him in his role and confirmed that I am in fact correct and the Car Park is for users of the Pool, Ice Rink and Rafting.
He also agreed the sign on the gate stating it is for Patrons of the Pool Only has been installed without any authority or official say so.
He does not work for the Council and is not there in an Official capacity and therefore has no form of I.D... he confirmed he has clearly been poorly advised in the role he has been attempting to carry out.
At the end he confirmed that he will temper his approach so if you point out that you are a Devils fan who is allowed to use the Car Park, he now recognises that he is unable to prevent you access. He rightly pointed out that it may be full by the time Devils fans show up anyway, he may not be wrong as all Car Parks are very, very busy... Even Toys R Us (Good Luck tonight - worth noting that a second unofficial attendant will join him later)
