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

[Blue Maverick]

With all these new parking restrictions this could very well be my last season, public transport not a viable option to get back to Royton especially on late/night games

I go from Royton as well mate and in total agreement about night matches you miss your connection in oldham you’re screwed

 

[MadchesterCity]

First clash is the last game of the season, especially if it's a trophy presentation

It won't be

I'm thinking the same, I travel with 2 kids, one is 3 and Briscoe Lane is already a slog carrying 15kg post match. I'm trying new options but the tram is unsafe, it's a miracle there have been no fatalities after the match.

I could be the same, 90 min drive to get to the match, plus what seems will be a walk from Central Park then a tram towards Hollinwood to wherever I've parked.

I'm fit & healthy but the thought of doing that walk when it's pissing down without a brolly as I'm sure that would be deemed more dangerous than a Fanta bottle in SS3 isn't thrilling me.

The thought of getting home at midnight for a night game, travelling on our wonderful safe public transport just doesn't inspire me at all

My dad (in his 70's) has already started to knock it on the head. Had a season ticket for years but he's sold it for tomorrow - something I've never known him to do, ever. Parked up by Ten Acre lane last match but the walk is getting a bit much for him especially in these winter months
I don't live locally any more and I'm not sure what it means for me yet -particularly on night games. The Blue car park is an option but you can be an hour getting off it afterwards - not great when I've got a 90 min - 2 hour drive home. Public transport is of absolutely no use to me.
I just cannot understand the council's thinking on this.

When i went to goodison the other night i went on the justpark app and got on someones drive a 15 min walk to the ground for £12. Secure parking , no mither.
Similarly, at home games we knocked on someones door pre season and asked if we could park up their drive for a tenner a game , just behind the corner shop pub so only a five mine walk

And right there is why City don’t give a fuck and may even be secretly colluding with the council on this. Freeze out the real fans by fair means or foul. Day trippers and tourists generally don’t drive to the ground so what do they care about parking restrictions.

Without them possibly considering it'll have a knock on effect for the stewards who won't want to be giving up £10 to £12 out of the 3 or 4 hours pay they get

Gonna be chaos at some stage when it comes in. Thanks Andy Burnham

It's not Burnham, this is Manchester City Council. Nearest street parking to the east will be in Tameside.

Oh dear. What are you on? What do you want City to do about the parking?

 

[BringBackSwales]

It’s a fucking scandal. Why do they want to make it even harder for the working class person to get to a game of football? Are the new measures in place for tomorrow anywhere within walking distance of the ground?

clayton hall and above heading towards droylsden be your best bet

On the plus side City have put in a huge bike shed at the bottom of Mercer way, each time I’ve gone past there’s one bike in it! Can just see me cycling 7 miles in the pissing rain at night to go to the match and then back!

Have they? I gave up cycling to the game after covid. Shit provision of bike racks but more importantly the bullshit “no bags” rule. I’m not paying a tenner and having to queue up in the arse end of the ground to check my normal rucksack into their crappy bag storage shed.

If you’re cycling to the match you’ve more than likely got a bag with you to carry stuff.

Didnt Elvis sing a song about that place? "in the Ghettos" :-)

Haha where the hell did my phone get “ghettos” from!

It’s early.

Double yellows all the way down one side of the abattoir, limited parking on other side of the road,was half full at 10am today as I went past

Is it restricted on the other side? They will be all the early stewards and staff parking there, staff have limited parking numbers in blue car park, City might find it difficult to recruit staff if there’s nowhere to park.

That'll be all the matchday stewards getting prime parking positions
