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

[mancityvstoke]

Walk? Are you insane?
; )

Listen Mr Kippax Pete. We don't all fucking live in town.

 

[pride in battle]

Many residents in the area have registered 'family and friends' for additional permits from day one. Already a healthy market. ;-)

You can't...

Well, that's me told. Sorry Dad.
How can I argue with such compelling logic?

Dad? Thought playground name calling was below you nobby?

Sorry all in advance, but apart from disabled individuals, wouldn’t it be in everyone’s interests to walk to the ground and back to Manchester for heath reasons? I know the neighbourhood isn’t the best and it’s often tipping it down, but a mile walk there and a mile walk back isn’t going to kill you.

I do it all the time as my lad lives in town , and to be fair seems like a lot of others do too, it not a bad walk and if you see away fans you can have good banter .

Yes but he's suggesting we ALL do it. Young fit people maybe it's ok for.

What about those of us who live in the opposite direction or nowhere near a train station to go all the way to town then walk all the way to the ground.....especially for night games and when its pissing down or snowing etc.

Or those who can't afford train fares....the list is endless.

We can't all fit a one for all solution.


A lot of drivers walk a good distance already. Parking at Grimshaw lane (when we could ) and walking to the south stand is probably equivalent to walking to town from the ground.

Sorry my friend but juvenile name-calling says more about you than the poster. I could drive to and from the game but choose instead to take the train into the city centre, have a couple of beers and walk to the stadium. For anyone who is reasonably fit and has a reliable public transport link into town, it's no hardship and helps to reduce congestion on the roads for those who have no choice but to drive. In the context of this debate, it's an entirely reasonable suggestion and certainly not one deserving of ridicule.

You can't get trains home from night games as that's the only time I use my car going to be testing against Burnley .

A bit late to this, are the new restrictions now in force? I usually park near Aldi going towards Ashton but that will be swallowed by the new restrictions

It's hit and miss.....lots of signs have been revealed but some haven't like near Clayton lane etc and Ashton New Road but I'm sure they will follow suit shortly.

I tried the bus one night game. The 231 goes right past my house.

No bus going back so got stranded. Had to call a taxi.

Walk around Ashton after 10pm...no thanks.

You can't...

You can. Until her passing, my mother in law lived near Mary D's. She had two permits, and I used one every time I went to a game then.
