Redinthehead Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Agreed on the park, they have lighting in there for the balloon fiesta so not sure why it isn’t made permanent. Unfortunately a few people park like absolute idiots and will ruin it for everyone if they’re not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've always said - so many free spaces to be had a 20 minute walk or less away. Just pure laziness from some. Which was always fine for me but not when I’ve got my daughter with me so not sure it’s laziness. AG is just not easy to get too and park closely unless you want to be there at midday!!

Redmycolour Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 13 hours ago, RedLionLad said: At the Man Utd game a disabled supporter (with blue badge clearly visible) had his car towed away outside the Ford car showroom just off the roundabout and yet he has been parking there all season. He had to pay £150 to get his car back, plus taxi fares home and to the compound the following day. Cars (with blue badges displayed) who were parked there today didn't even get a parking ticket. The council are not allowed to tow disabled drivers with a mobility car, showing blue badges,as long there parked on double yellows with no kerb markings, you can appeal and win, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they won't park there again, so be warned about using their vacated spaces at the next home games. I've enquired about this with the council,they state as long as your NOT causing a obstruction on the public highway it's ok the park on pavement, ie enough room for a scooter or pushchair, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't quite condone that (much). In my own village some residents do it, even though they know my son uses a wheelchair past their property frequently. Defies belief sometimes.

I lived in a village and I’ve seen ‘visitors’ cars bounced off the pavement if they’d parked badly, along with any damage that may have occurred in the process. One guys JCW Mini Cooper looked like it had been through a combine when he got back to it. Villages for you I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Problem is, people are just bloody lazy nowadays and want to park as close to their destination as possible. At AG we are going through a period of a lot more traffic and need for parking those vehicles, sadly the area cannot cope with it so people will have to park further away and WALK. Personally I either park near South Liberty Lane as I know the area well having been brought up there as a kid, and the new South Bristol Link really helps getting there and away from (although a few have now caught on) or in Clifton outside my daughters and walk in. Try it ( i'm 67 and if I can do it so can most of you) Shame we dont play in the summer as could come in on my Vespa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's manageable if you're able-bodied and you know where you're going. In truth, it's largely pitch black during evening games, badly signposted and can involve scaling fences and/or walking alongside a busy dual carriageway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save at the Hotwells end it's nearly all controlled parking and unless you want to arrive at kick off with no pre-match fun then sprint back hoping there's no stoppage time you'll need a day permit, assuming you know one of the locals. Used to be able to park there no problem, it's now as bad as Ashton or Southville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Bristol ( and other locations) it's neither fish nor fowl. You may park on a pavement where signs indicate it's permissible and it may not be an offence to do so elsewhere provided no obstruction has been caused. However, if using that defence one would have to explain how one's car ended up on the pavement as driving on such is an offence save access to a defined parking space or private property.

I appealed with lots of evidence that I was a Licensed Taxi Driver, my car was a Licensed Sedgemoor Taxi and I had every right to be in a Taxi lane. The London appeal board overruled my appeal and said it didnt matter what went on in the rest of the country but in London, they are for BLACK cabs only.shame it didnt say it on the sign !!
