Matchday parking

[r4derby]

Issue with premier inn is they overbook it, or at least did last season. Unless you can arrive 2 hours before kickoff, you will find all the spaces taken and people parking on the  grass verges. It’s a shame, as was a good spot but seems to have become popular. Maybe it’s sold out which means they are starting to limit spaces…

I think you can park for free on Alvo Park, Meadow Lane entrance, but not sure if there's a time limit. 10 minute walk along the river to PP.

Any decent ones on the m1 side of pride park , drives me nuts sitting waiting for the road behind the north stand to open after the game ,must put an hour on the journey back down south ,,,,, oh for the days of the old fireplace centre

Park on my street, Sunny Grove, 25 minute walk, 30 depending how far up the street you park. It seems a few park on here, but it's never overly busy.

Free parking right on Nottingham Road.

There is of course Chequers Road (the road parallel to A52... on-Street parking... where the old Cattle Market was.  Access direct off Pentagon Island. 10-20 minute walk depending which end you find a space.
Problem being that parking is restricted (not allowed) for something like 8am to 6pm, Mon to Sat.
Legally only really ok for night matches (parking up at 17:58, just to be a rebel!) and Sundays.  The road is deserted on a Saturday matchday, so I assume they do send the wardens down there?

 

... Oh... just remembered...on the same road... Bamfords Auction House... secure parking for a fiver (I think?).  No idea about pre-booking/popularity.  Might only be for about 30 cars or so?  Not sure.  I'll see if there's anyone to ask, when I saunter past on Saturday.  ?

i was thinking the same. but with a bike. get yourself a little folding shopper bike. stick it in the boot, five minutes by bike after the game and back in the car while the ground is still emptying and away!

Thanks will check , yes I’m ok to walk and yes I park at the north west corner ( just off roundabout) but want to come out towards Nottingham A52 to m1 though checking map I could come in and go out on A6 if there’s parking that way 

No parking on premier inn anymore for those not staying at the hotel sadly...I gladly give 5 pounds to the charity box in reception each week but hotel guests have complained about the lack of spaces on matchdays so they have stopped it.

Car park opposite Exeter Arms. Always empty cos card only. £5.50 but perfect for a pint and a fast slip onto A52. You need to drive around Exeter to get in it.

Bloody bus overheated on way back to the Furnace, oh the irony. I have no idea why he went back past the court house either?

Sitting waiting to go from PP with the engine running wasn’t great plan either?

This is not correct. I parked there today and have booked a space for the next 2 Sat home games.

Or did you just make that up so you can have it to yourself !

Loads of space at the travelodge at 2.45 pm today pre match.

Last game, we went for a post match pint in the Yard, and watched as the buses pulled off quick sharp, before the away coaches.

Let's not get caught out again, I said to the boy, as we hot footed it to sit on a sweltering bus for 25 minutes while Barnsley's 8 buses and a minicab made their way to the M1.

Hi

getting electric car. I think there are charging points in car park A at the stadium. Assuming I can still book that car park please does anyone know if the EV charging points are usually used on match days or if they generally are free? Thanks

[B4ev6is]

I am not sure which one is car park A but I walk past the one at the back of the south stand near the vaccinodrome and these are usually taken. Never really paid much attention to see they are always full but there are cars plugged in there. Hope it helps...
