The End of on Street Parking within walking distance of the Etihad

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

What are trams like to Ashton after matches?

if you think the tram into Piccadilly is slow, that way is even slower, if it's possible. But not for the same reason, I think. The one into town is basically blocked by hordes of people (such as myself) walking along the tracks and on the roads back into Piccadilly that cross the tramline. Going the other way, there are a quite a few places where the line crosses the road (or vice versa, depending on how you look at it) and the tram has to stop for lights. There are also quite a few stops. I also discovered that Ashton can be a pretty gloomy place on a rainy evening after a night match. Went into a pub to get a pint while waiting to be picked up and, I don't know, it just felt properly dodgy. Was pleased when my ride turned up.

The parking at the School next to the Townley has started again recently think you have to get there early to make sure you get in though.

There's another school with parking, huge area but they just stopped ?

Wonder if there will be a "park on my drive" surge around the ground or will that be outlawed as well

Should probably start a thread about the non-official off-site car parks, we are going to need it next year.

Parked in Vermillion on Weds as I was in a rush, took me 25 mins to get off the car park

Ah right yeah that will be the school the other side of the Cornershop I don't walk past there so not sure. Might be worth checking the Park on My Drive website as said above, I have noticed big increase in houses around there renting their driveways now.

There's an App (on iPhone at least) called Justpark, which allows you to search an area, with date/time from/to, and park (driveways etc). Just looking around Wembley for the 3rd, there's some eyewatering figures for 2 nights...

Probably couldn’t get anyone to take the money and open up and lock up later!!

25 mins is still quicker than the blue carpark. I just park up Oldham road and walk in, its quicker than waiting to get out on to Alan Turing Way.

You could get at least 100 cars on it !! Licence to print money

Don't be surprised when the Park on My Drive, Just Park etc floodgates don't open, as most don't have drives, even a lot of the new stuff doesn't near the ground.

Park and Jog from Monsall anyone? Maybe have a few at the Embassy and walk it.

Booked our Wembley trip on justpark £13.50 half mile walk to stadium turnstiles. HAPPY DAYS.

We always used to park at the car wash on Ashton New Road. Easier to get away after the match.

Does it hold plenty of cars in there mate. Been thinking of using that one myself but looks a bit tight space wise?

Very few houses round the ground seem to have a drive though

Yeah, bit tight but well organised. We would get there early and leave late (never leave ground before full time) by which time a lot of other cars had left.

The park and ride at Ladywell does get a bit busy at weekends but very rarely full. However NEVER park outside the designated spots even if other have. I did once as there were about 10 others parked around but I ended up getting a ticket!!
I like the leisurely ride to the stadium, it relaxes me before I get excited about the match!! :-)

thanks. for the last game i went to a forummer recommended some free parking a 10 minute walk from the ground on single yellows. perfect as i had my kids with me

Vermillion used to be ok to get off till the road it's on closed for roadworks. Now it's a bloody nightmare.

I’ve parked further away all season. Not really had the winter weather though due to World Cup. Get home at same time as parking closer as not stuck in traffic.

Until my mother in law selfishly went and died, I could park right on the street near to her house (road right opposite Mary D's) by just picking up her 'visitor's pass'. The occupier needs to pre register (I think) up to two car registrations to their home for use during match days.
