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

[Eric Hitchmough]

There will be plenty of fans not on BM or just generally unaware of the changes that will be in for a nasty surprise.

Wardens will be out in force tonight. Can see there being a few tickets issued to those that don’t take any notice, genuinely or otherwise.

Yep it’s gonna be a shit show unfortunately

Has anyone told the Burnley fans?

So is this a drive ( no pun intended) by the club to finally get rid of all us old season ticket hangers on. Think how much more revenue they'll make by fucking us all off and selling to tourists.

Usually park on ten acres lane exactly 1 mile from stadium.
Noticed last game it's all now double yellow lines.
Can't believe I'm saying this as a season ticket holder for more than 30 years but not going to bother tomorrow night especially with 7.30 ko.
I'm not prepared to do a 120 mile round trip and not being able to park easily.
I also bring my two lads also season ticket holders & yet again can't believe I'm saying it but thinking of not renewing tickets next season

I understand how you feel but there are alternatives. You can park at Ashton park and park for free and then get the tram in. It's a free carpark with 4 charging points for electric vehicles. It's also next to Ashton motorway junction of M60.

There’s no way they’ll find parking for half a dozen of these

Whilst I don’t like to take the piss but 184 car parking spaces is hardly adequate on a match day.

Nevertheless, it is an option. Just not the panacea we’re hoping for.

But what is? Better public transport I’d say but this country is about 30 years behind others (Italy, Spain, Germany etc etc)

Hell, India probably have better public transport than the shit show we get served up.

Not wishing to bring attention to that other lot in Stretford but there was a story on MEN saying a similar attitude to their fans with restrictions been bought in around their ground also. They are trying to get rid of antisocial parking and believe the adding of more cycle bays will resolve the situation.

There's a parking rack under the stadium bridge that looks like it can hold about 50 bikes. Last game i went there wasn't a single bike parked there. I may use it in the future though as i can cycle about 8 miles to the stadium mostly on Ashton canal.

There’s also a lot of paid parking around for £5 upwards. Whether there’s enough, well we’re going to find out tonight!

I think a lot of the uneasiness is just that people are being forced to change their long-term habits and, unfortunately, pay extra. For a group of 4 people, changing to public transport would cost us £400 to £500 minimum a year, a significant amount, so if we can park for £120 it makes more sense. Still though, more than free. Sadly however, I can see parking prices only going one way.

I’d think twice mate before you decide to give up your STs.

I think those charging a fiver will be increasing their prices
