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

Saw a post on twitter yesterday that double yellows have started being painted on
Riverpark road and bank bridge road, behind Philips park cemetery.

Council painting
Double yellows
Pay for parking
Drivers glum
‘Tis the season
To extort you of your money
Merry Christmas everyone.
 
There are some odd gaps unmarked on Bank Street. And some weird 50 yard sections marked out. Glad they fixed the potholes and undulating road ahead of the linemarking.

Is it now no parking within walking distance of the ground?

Eventually it will be no FREE parking within about a mile I’d say, although there will be some exceptions. Parking can be found for £5 to £8. North of the stadium you’ll need to be north of Oldham Road to park for free, don’t know about the other sides of the ground. No idea where there is but we’re just paying now. I’d like to have a beer or two but the public transport just takes too long and is too uncomfortable so will be arriving as late as possible so it’s the club that lose out from our group. Not sure that piss they sell is good for me anyway!

It’s appalling. Presumably there’ll be no street parking for people going to the coop arena either?

It's the Co-Op Arenna that has brought this on. 20-25 days of 3hrs of parking versus 250+ days of afternoon and evening parking. Yes we know the best thing to do is to ensure come April there is a Metrolink running doubles every 6 minutes and a fleet of buses from City Centre to the Co-Op / Etihad.

That's not what we will get though. First clash of City and the Co-Op, expect Carnage

It’s what happens to the parking prices when the arena opens that worries me. I’ve tried public transport to the match and it is too slow, too uncomfortable, too unreliable and too expensive. It has zero benefits versus driving for our group, but I think parking charges will rocket when there’s an event on and spaces will be sparse. We’ll have to see what solutions the club and TfGM come up with but I’m really not expecting much.

They won’t take any account of matches being on, they never do
