andrewsnaith Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 Hi, I am in Coventry (unfortunately) and have no ticket for the game tonight. I usually drive to my grandads and catch the bus into town then walk to the ground but my girlfriend has a bad knee and wont be able to walk far tonight and also buses are slow and we wouldnt get home till gone midnight. Does anyone reckon I would stand a chance of getting a parking space within 5-10 mins walk of the ground tonight If I drive? I have to leave in the next half hour to get there if so, so quick responses would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Andy
DB11 Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 The traffic wardens have become really hot recently therefore the answer is probably a no, unless you're willing to risk the chance of a ticket. Maybe some more people will know the answer.
andrewsnaith Posted 17 April 2007 Author Posted 17 April 2007 Can't really afford to make that risk mate, but wouldnt mind paying one of those little private car parks £5 or so if there are any around?
kylestyle06 Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 Can't really afford to make that risk mate, but wouldnt mind paying one of those little private car parks £5 or so if there are any around? There is loads of them carparks around. There's one for £3 on Saffron lane.

Craig Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 Chance your car could get broken into like mine did a few weeks ago Hmm.. parked there for about 5 seasons now and never had any problem.
andrewsnaith Posted 17 April 2007 Author Posted 17 April 2007 damn that doesnt sound too reassuring! think i may have to call it quits wish i was better oranized this week, left too many things till the last minute!
dandannieldanok Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 Park at the gas board on aylestone road, it is for members only but they always let you in, there is plenty of space and the lads on the gate couldn't give 2 hoots who goes in. Once we saw Sunderland fans park there. It is only 5 mins walk from the Walkers.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 Tonight is one of those games you have to make the effort to go to, even if you're a few minutes late.
Wezleylowski Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 There are a few carparks quite close to the ground like the one opposite the stadium in the car lot car park, that ones about a tenner to park in but there are very few spaces in it so if you want one then make haste. Theres also one down brazil street i think, and that one is a fiver but again there are very few spaces in it. Granby halls car park isnt that far away
Stevosevic Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 £6 quid in the euro car park near morrisons, if your wiling to pay. bit steap i know.
DB11 Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 There are lots of car parks what you have to pay to get in. The nearer they are, the dearer they are. The dearest I have seen is a few minutes but it's £8... not seen it for a while, maybe they got closed down though.
Bryn Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 What's wrong with the Morrison's near the Odeon? That's where we always park when we come down from Hull.
davieG Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 What's wrong with the Morrison's near the Odeon? That's where we always park when we come down from Hull. Because more often than not the dish out £60 fines ask Anish. As for parking there's a fair bit of on street parking if you get there just after 6.00pm, mind you the locals are not too pleased.
Bryn Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 We've always been fine in that place, although obv you'd know better than me. If you nip in beforehand and do a bit of shopping (hide your shirt) and then go back in afterwards and buy something you might get away with it.

Depends if the Wardens around, there's a time limit which is less than you need to go to the game so it doesn't matter if you buy or not. I guess you've been lucky, I can't afford the fine so I'll not risk it.
morris1234 Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 ive nevre had a problem parking on the streets just off upperton road/narborough road,not even had to park on any double yellows yet(touch woord!)
andrewsnaith Posted 17 April 2007 Author Posted 17 April 2007 Thanks guys, i went for it and got to the ground before 6:30 but couldnt see any spaces after looking around for 10 mins in the suggested places so i blipped it to my Grandads and phoned my cousin on the way and got him to pick us up and drop us off at the odeon. We made it with 15 minutes to spare after sorting our the tickets and caught the bus back.
Suffolk_fox Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 I risked Morrisons, and sprinted like a gazelle after the game to find... No ticket. PHEW!!
AyewJoking Posted 17 April 2007 Posted 17 April 2007 Chance your car could get broken into like mine did a few weeks ago In the bus lanes on Saffron Lane or the SLSC car park?
