  • The current plan is to monetise everything it seems.

    People will pay it, but that's a bump. 

    Just park at B&Q, 4 hours for free, or Maccies, 3 hours free
  • The current plan is to monetise everything it seems. 
    Needs to be at a price that makes it feasible. Not like the club will get all that money some would go to the school and some go big parking. Given the lack of parking around the ground, this is a good compromise 
  • Its working now - I got that message but now on sale 
  • Up to five and a half hours parking for that. Some of the money going to a local school.
  • It is and it isn’t.

    Compared to the free on street that we were all used to, it’s a joke.

    In the context of more than one person in that car, relative to the cost of public transport, it’s fairly good value.

    Either way, if there is an issue, it’s wholly with RBG, and not the football club.
  • Agreed. A tenner would be about right.

  • £15 is cheaper than a fine, a return train ticket for the whole family from Gravesend or what you'd pay in, for instance, The Valley car park
  • Has anyone got a map for the current restrictions? 
  • Season parking in the Valley car park on match days last year was £690 or individual games £45. This did not include cup games or the play-off semi. This year there were no places being sold at the Valley (mainly due to the (not so) Fun Zone.

    Yes all true.

     But when you go on a day trip do you rock up at say Herne Bay or Brighton and think £15 to park  that’s ok?

    For 5-6 hours parking? Yes.

    Parking in Bournemouth at The Pavillion is £21 for 6 hours for instance. 

    Parking at Westfield Stratford for up to 6 hours is £19.10, over 6 is £25.30

    Incidentally an all day parking pass in some places in Herne Bay is indeed £15, so yes I'd say it's ok. 

    A half-day on the beach front in Brighton is £17.20, 4 hours at the shops is £16.60
  • I've bought tickets for the game at Bristol City next Saturday. Looked online at Justpark and a few of the "regulated" parking sites such as schools & car parks were £15.  Off street parking (I imagine peoples drives etc) varied from £12 to £40 !

    I booked what looks like a rugby club car park for £10 about a 10 min walk away. Seems the going rate by looks of things.

    Just paid 30 quid to park in Brighton for the day.

    I’ve had the same issue Golfie, where did you book and was it through JustPark?

    Well I stand corrected. (Albeit I don’t think people think it’s ok). 

    Two wrongs don’t make a right. 

    I park in Herne Bay for free by the way within 5 mins walk of the ‘arcades’ for what it’s worth. 

    I guess my point is there doesn’t need to be profit in the parking for the club. 

    But if that’s going to be the going rate RBG will win and more will go with the public transport options. The few extra spaces will be used nonetheless I’m sure. 

    As others suggested some sort of arrangement on Woolwich common might be an idea once demand is consistently confirmed. 
    Now what can you do about the 20mph speed limit near that extra parking! 😉😆

    Funnily enough I was immediately thinking £15 is reasonable for Brighton
    Correct, you would struggle to park in Brighton for the day and only spend £15.00 on parking

    The club trying to take profit on off-site parking is the same nonsense as trying to break even on Valley Express - a way of reducing its own ticket revenue.
  • Is the option disappearing to park the other side of Charlton Park?

    It was always a bit of a slog back up the hill after the match (handy for me exiting Harvey Gardens from the East Stand), which might be a struggle for some. But never struggled to park around that area, and then just had to deal with Shooters Hill traffic back to the A2

    Ok for now. But whole of Charlton will be CPZ in latest forward thinking proposal by Greenwich Council.
