Parking Last Night (Tin Hat On!)

LenGloverLenGlover
edited August 2012 in General Charlton
I appreciate that the crowd last night was much smaller than for a league game but did anyone have any problems?

Midweek games are difficult for me at the best of times but I normally juggle things around and make the effort, family and work commitments permitting.

Last night I didn't need the worry and stress re parking so didn't bother. I may or may not have been alone in that attitude who knows?

The point is that if there were problems last night with a small crowd what will it be like for the Leicester game and should I simply write it off?

    24 hour restrictions in the retail park now. The signs in there state that if you park there for longer than 75 minutes, its a £95 fine.

    No problem at all. Parked in a bay at the top of Charlton Lane as usual. Plenty of spaces too.

    Couple of traffic wardens seen outside the Oak at 1930, ticketing a car. Though in this case there were signs there stating that bay was suspended whilst the game was taking place (1800 - 2230)

    Makes me laugh the people who put wheelie bins etc out in the road to stop you from parking.
    I've got a great idea....... let's buy a house near a football ground and then wonder why some folk want to come there and park.....surprise surprise!
    The football ground has been there for decades, long before they bought their house...absolute numpties.

    The former disabled park area in Landsdowne Mews now has huge concrete blocks in place to prevent any access but their did appear to be parking spaces marked out under the repaired badge behind the Cupboard End

    It's the damn Olympic lanes on the main road that's changing the lights patterns. Call TfL and ask them to reset back to the old pattern now the Olympics is over and see how far you get!!

    Parked at 6.50 usual spot down round the scrap yards, restrictions were only up to 5pm. I was the first to park so was a little nervous but plenty more followed and no problems. Same for me next week

    Yes. Used to also park outside the closed down MFI shop on that park but it is now a Dreamland, so that's a few cars looking elsewhere for spaces

    Parked as usual in Park View. Saw signs in various streets saying: "*8.30am-7.00pm. For 2 Hours. No return for 3 hours. Except permits." or words to that effect. So if you park after 5.00pm, the 2 hour rule stops at 7.00pm doesn't it. Wouldn't this apply at our next weekday evening match? Didn't notice any dates mentioned (too concerned with getting to The Royal Oak).

    I usually park in the area behind Travis Perkins next to the retail park but there are restrictions absolutely everywhere down lower Charlton. After hunting round unsuccessfully for 25 minutes I gave up and went home. Advice re where to park for Hull and Leicester gratefully received.

    You're quite right. You've got 2 hours max so as long as you park after 5.00pm that will take you up to the non-restricted period of 7.00pm.

    Bloke next to me last night was telling his mate that he and his wife parked in Woolwich because of the restrictions,then walked from there before realising the restrictions ended at 7. His mate laughed then said "How are you?" He replied "Knackered."

    Like 'LenGlover' Midweek games are difficult for me. But i usually make the effort.
    I had no intention of attending last night and didn't.
    The altered parking restrictions concern me too. I have seen the map that was supposed to help and read the comments from folk within this thread, who say they had no problem.
    However i remain unsure of the details of the parking rules and have no desire to have my vehicle clamped, towed or ticketed. Even if it turned out to be wrongly so, by an over-zealous parking warden. I do not want to get involved with all the hassle that would create.
    With that in mind. Despite having a season-ticket, i will not be attending the evening match V Leicester City. I shall attend V Hull City and will book on to The Valley Express.
    I believe that by the time the home match V Crystal Palace comes around. The Olympic restrictions will be gone.
    This post is simply to give my take on the situation. Anyone who wishes to use it to attack me as 'part-time supporter' or even an 'idiot' for not understanding the rules, feel free. I'll not be commenting further.
