JackiDziekanowski Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 While attending yesterday, I ended up with a parking ticket - Looked like everyone got the same, parked on that one way road that passes the Ashton Inn. The ticket says 'prohibited as parked on a red route or clearway'. Is this a new thing? Lots of people park there for every game. I didn't see any signage mentioning any restrictions. Worth appealing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth appealing? Hmmm…….they’ll point out that the relevant signs were displayed. I’d double check before you appeal. I’d be surprised if there aren’t any but check anyway.

italian dave Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The signs are there. Â They've been there for quite some time. It's never been enforced there on match days - there was a thread at the time wondering whether they would be, but I think its all gone quiet since and just assumed that a blind eye was being turned. Yet another example where it really doesn't do any harm on a matchday - and now that's another 50 or so cars having to drive round trying to find somewhere else - likely in Long Ashton, where it will become a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that they will be replaced by another 50 cars that currently park elsewhere, unaware of the restrictions and so it will go on.

TV Tom Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Yet another money-making exercise in rip-off Britain, i don't even drive but this sort of thing annoys me, wonder if the rugby fans will be targeted in the Bristol-Bath game next Saturday ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 It seems like any events in the Uk where the good old British public turn up are targeted by either local councils , expensive  car park prices aka Bemmy cricket club / field next door , overpriced food & drink stalls and rogue merchandise sellers , I really wish the good old public would  100% boycott all of these things 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full nelson Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 So people get tickets and complain?! Signs state it is a clearway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Been a clearway since the start of last season. I stopped parking there as it was only a matter of time before wardens started patrolling there on matchdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t complain , he said that he didn’t see any signs ( wrongly agreed ) absolutely no need for that road to be a red route clearway I would love to sit down with whatever clown made that decision and get him to explain to my why !

bemmyredjeff Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I can't understand why fans park around that area with the threat of a ticket hanging over their heads anytime when you can use the p & r officially for £2 , as i do , without any worry and walk back afterwards.                  32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in the context of Ashton Gate it is!! There are lots that charge 2 or 3 times that - and quite a few over £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The club and council seem to forget not every city fan lives in bloody Bristol and if they think it's easy getting public transport to games they can think again it also makes your day twice as long. I park in the park and ride at long Ashton it makes sense. No way I'm paying £10 or more for parking absolute mugs game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
