derbydan Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Be careful if you park he usually guys you will probably get Illegally IMO held against your will by some jobsworths blocking the road to let the people who have paid to park in the carpark behind the south stand 30 feckin minutes I was held up for after the Blackburn game! Surely they have no legal right to block us in to let the people who pay to park out?!? Anyway rant over just thought I'd warn you folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 To be fair jjb isn't match parking it should really be just for gym members. It was the same last season they shut the road to get the away fans out quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrivateDerby Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I usually abandon the car in town and walk in but the hotel weren't as daft as I thought.... so last match I parked behind the south stand, never again... SIX POUNDS!!! Surely there is somewhere cheaper or free to park that is close to Pride Park? How much is that fireplace one? Looks like I can shoot off towards Utch quite quickly from there. I stopped going on the train because it got too expensive but it probably (definitely) ends up cheaper now, just got to decide whether it's worth getting crushed on a single carriage and the risk of disease from other passengers.

Anyway rant over just thought I'd warn you folks They do actually have the legal right to do it under their contract to manage to traffic post match. They are working under the direction of the police, it stops the need of 25 extra policemen on match day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a 10 minute walk then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Park in a car park you shouldn't park in and then complain you are unable to get out of the car park Should be grateful they don't start clamping cars, makes a right mess of your wheel arch if you try to get out with one of those attached.

Mr Tibbs Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Park in there every home game, there were flyers given out last season that this was going to be the case. Someone got knocked over by a car on the bridge so it was initially a 10 minute hold up to let the surrounds empty with fans before unleashing all the traffic. Now they obviously just let the south stand car park out too as they have paid for the privilege to park that close. Can't see why you'd have any complaints to be honest. A 30 min wait is hardly the end of the world, stick BBC Radio Derby on and chill out for abit. Most of the traffic on the a52 and A61 has cleared by the time were out, still get back tp Alfreton the same time as we did before the hold up.

cheron85 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 We've always parked in Chad... The roads on the other side of the bridge are always decent for parking on and it's not that far to walk... Normally find somewhere around the corner of Eden Rd and Albert Rd to be good... Bit further to walk but really easy to get out and back to the A52...

derbydan Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Still bloody jobsworth's & it's illegal to clamp now Daveo! Feck paying £6 when you can park for free ! It just seems to me like its a two fingered salute to those who don't want to pay for parking from the club money grabbing barstewards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just maybe its not down to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
