yardy Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Does anyone know the best time to get a place to park in the cricket ground? I thought i left home in good time to get to the cricket ground in the last home game only to find it was full up, it seems some games they are allowed to park on the grass which could mean i could leave home later and other games not allowed on the grass and the car park is filled up in no time. Its a real pain in the backside when its closed, does anyone have any helpful info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 early as possible, now the cricket season is starting, you may find there is even less space !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Got there a little late for the Brighton game, and parked down by the old Ship & Castle Fiver, like the cricket club, just as easy and a lot more room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tts_city Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 if it has not rained like today then there should be plenty of parking on the grass, when its rained they only have the hardstanding available so alot less space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonGreat Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 The council made life harder for all of us by imposing parking permits around Clifton Village and the Hotwells area. Not only is it now virtually impossible to go for a drink or a meal in Clifton due to a lack of parking, but it also adds an extra fiver onto the cost of watching City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no clue why but it could be something to do with previous uses of the area in the days when coal pits and iron works were prevalent. Have tried to ascertain more information but only came up with references to; a census entry around 1901 for a Haulier born at the Whitening Yard, Ashton Vale and a Housing application for the Whitening Yard in 1934. But it could be just because the boozer had some white washed walls. Have a feeling Stephen Lewis may know more going by his cryptic comment!

yardy Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Would be good if the cricket club could make people aware that parking is available on the grass, i could of left home a hour later last night which would mean a hour extra with my family. Not sure if this would be possible but even a post on here or maybe even twitter would be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't give a sh1t about the fans, or communicating with them , all they think of is getting as many fivers as soon as possible then putting their poxy plastic bollards across the entrance with their over the top parking attendants standing there arms folded,with their yellow waistcoats and huge egos on, "You aint comin in!".....

If you'd used JustPark like I suggested you could have showed up 10 minutes before kick off if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think their people are over the top? Thinking about it, you might be right. I gave that feedback when I was thrown out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
