bartolona Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 We parked at Richmond for the Palarse game, big car park on the main road in. Think were doing the same for QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonrobin Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 We parked at Richmond for the Palarse game, big car park on the main road in.

tin Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Think our plan at the moment is to park at Brentford and tube it in. Anyone know of a better plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 We parked at Richmond for the Palarse game, big car park on the main road in. Think were doing the same for QPR.Thats what I recommended to all... if you picked up that advise and found it useful I am pleased.. Safe, clean, not quite where you want it to be but ticks most of the boxes. The other option is to drive to hammersmith... easier for qpr and park in the multi storey opposite the tube station... tricky getting into it as its on a roundabout and if you miss the turn you gotta go around again and that takes about 5 mins with all the lights on it. but another option.I will ask a qpr mate to give me another option and report back later in the week. the same mate who bet me 50 quid they would end up higher... without tempting fate that looks like a home banker now.

A Horse With No Name Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Think our plan at the moment is to park at Brentford and tube it in. Anyone know of a better plan?Last time I did it, I parked in Acton, and got the tube to my destination. Lots of on-street parking, but beware in many areas there are residents street parking, which arent always clearly marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodbarmyarmy Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I am going the same way as I always have (as in One team fanzine - via M25/A40) and park in BBC overflow carpark on Wood lane (20feet from White city tube and about 5mins walk to either the "green" with all its drinking establishments or the Springbok on South Africa road - much better than messing about with all that stinking smelly tube crap - had enough of that with Palarse)Must admit though - White city tube station should be very interesting after the game .

tin Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 bloody hell sounds like x354 blagdon country busHaha, you're not far wrong there! Luckily, nine of us are getting on in BS20, the Shire stop's on the Portway (well, almost) and the City Centre stop should be near the M32 though yet to be confirmed. Be a good craic though of that there is no doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
