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

They've being doing it for years via the parking sites. Demand has gone up and then you get the silly prices as per the post above yours.

Loads also have permanent arrangements for on-drive parking and loads have permits for off-drive parking.

My mother in law (R.I.P.) lived just off Grey Mare Lane. She used to get two visitor street parking permits for match times. I used one regularly for many years. The last two however, to combat people selling them on or allowing random strangers to use them for profit, the council changed the rules, and you had to register two vehicles via online and their registrations were then the only ones eligible to use them. Assuming that is still the case?

Of course on drive parking is exempt .... well at least for now. I wouldn't put it past the car hating council/Burnham to be telling residents who can and can't park on their own drives eventually.
 
So have city put anything on the website (I can’t see anything) or made any extra provision for the loss of 100’s of parking spaces?
 
They still haven't put anything on about the way we were treated in Istanbul, so as if they'll care about us plebs and parking
October 2014 and nothing back from this yet:

UEFA Statement: 3 October 2014

Manchester City Football Club has today been informed of the outcome of a review by UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary body into an incident in the UEFA Champions League match between AS Roma and CSKA Moscow on 17 September.

CSKA Moscow has had a number of sanctions imposed, amongst which are restrictions on their home and away games in the UEFA Champions League competition.

Included in these sanctions is the forthcoming Manchester City group stage game to be held at the Arena Khimki, Moscow on Tuesday 21 October.

This game will now take place behind closed doors.

Furthermore, CSKA Moscow are banned from selling tickets to travelling supporters for the return fixture to take place at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday 5 November.

Manchester City is cognisant of the fact that fans will be affected by this unforeseen turn of events and encourage all supporters who have made non-refundable travel arrangements to email proof of such arrangements to mcfc@mcfc.co.uk, referencing the supporter numbers of all impacted fans, by 5pm on Tuesday 7 October.
 
Private parking companies are offering spaces (house driveways etc.) around the Etihad for between £14 and £50 this Saturday 21st between 1pm - 6pm. Sign of things to come.
If you use one of them spaces officially. You can normally set up a deal with the house owner paying in cash. We use same guy at Wembley £12 a game.
 
Wouldn’t the new arena increase the number of days considerably?

If there were already trains running past there regularly, it may have been feasible to build a station and have them stop there during events. Like they do at Wembley Stadium station.

But there aren’t, which would make the cost of setting up a service from scratch, so prohibitive, it wouldn’t even be worth starting to think about it.

They haven’t even bothered running trains into United’s ground for years, and that is all set up and available.

The only way I think it would work is if the trains that currently call at Victoria and then use the Ordsall chord to call at Oxford Rd and Piccadilly were diverted past the ground direct into Piccadilly. It would mean passengers would have to change trains to get to the airport but it would relieve pressure on the Castlefield corridor. This idea was looked at before the chord was built and HS2 was destined to destroy the idea but maybe now can be revived. I’ve never understood why they wanted a long distance service to call at 3 or 4 train stations in one city as it passes through. Like London you should just get to a terminus then use metro services to get to your final destination.
 
but it is all better for a greener planet, we have such a wonderful public transport system that is having 31 billion spent on, dont know what the problem is.
