Port Said Red Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 My daughter went to the game last night with her friend using my ticket as I was away. They parked where we park every match day, it is difficult to describe but we park off the road next to some chains for private parking but without blocking any entrances. It underneath the section of road that leads up onto the flyover. Last night she got a parking ticket, it refers to Grenville Place although I can't find a name for that piece of road on Google maps, it indicates it is the loop that takes you off the flyover and down onto Cumberland Basin. There are a lot of us that park there all the time, I see the same cars every week, It is a good spot for us as it allows easy access onto the Portway to get back to Portishead after the game, if they are going to start ticketing us there though, I don't know where else I can conveniently park in future. I was wondering if anyone else had a ticket? Or whether she has parked in slightly the wrong place and caused an obstruction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 If you intend to park there on Sat. then have a look for signs etc regarding any parking restrictions. If none take photos and appeal. They can make mistakes. I once had a ticket which placed me in a different road to where I was parked. I appealed an the ticket was cancelled.

PFree Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I had my car lifted from there and taken to the pound not too long ago!! Not a ticket, they took my car and charged me a fortune to release it. There are double yellow lines there but your car is parked safely, well away from the road - the most annoying thing is that if common sense prevailed, they'd leave the chained car parks open for City fans to use, it would take away a lot of the parking problems as the area is ideally located. Frustrating to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl&Toby Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 It doesn't help I know but I'd blame that cock Ferguson. What he's done in his tenure has been a disgrace and makes me bloody cross whenever I return home. Where there was once adequate parking there are now bike lanes. Unused as most still cycle on the path. And as for renaming The Count's Louse..... More of a cock than Warnock and Ward put together..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savino Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 We used to park in exactly that area last season and then had a couple of council issued parking tickets, ultimately decided that £70 a pop (£35 if paid within 14 days I recall) was becoming too expensive, haven't parked there since! I did appeal to the council and receive a slightly snotty response saying that, even though I'd parked on a remote walkway that nobody uses alongside a double yellow line, I was still in contravention of the no waiting restriction. Worse thing about this is that, as ever on match days, they hide around the corner until kick off and then slime over and joyfully ticket us football fans, b******s!

Red Exile Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Parking is something that the club need to address. Is a decent park and ride service on the cards any time soon? We parked at the cricket club for the first time in ages, got away very quickly and we were happy to give them the money. We'll be parking there again.

fairweather Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I would think an agreement with the local community could a provide pragmatic parking policy. It's daft to assume everyone near Ashton Gate resents football Sarurdays. I get to more away games than homes games. In comparison Ashton gate is a headache for parking. However I love that we have a stadium in the city, the same location since I started going 30 years ago and not in those soulless locations like MK Dons, Reading (was it Colchester last year where I parked in a drive-through McDonalds on the edge of a motorway going nowhere?) Maybe the club could make a formal arrangement with the spare capacity that isn't used at week-ends, such the chained off parking you refer to, local business units, supermarkets and the Bedminster Cricket club I dare not revisit. When the stadium is at capacity it's not going to work to tell away fans or fairweathers like myself to get near enough and hope for the best when it's a 3 hour there and 3 hour back from London. I think they need a club parking option if we get bigger. Maybe that is their own land or some kind of agreement with the local community. The situation at the moment, since the tightening of parking is a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the Council (Go them) House, forever The Council House as far as most Bristolians are concerned, mind you if George fancies heading off to Gothem (renamed it in advance for you George) and taking a few local Jokers with him I'm sure he'd be f * * * ing off with our best wishes, & cheers ringing in his ears.
