nuneatonowl1 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi all. After some help re parking tomorrow I normally travel up on the train for the games I can get to however on this occasion I’m driving I’m bringing my grandson up (with my daughter / son in law) for his first ever game. Going to arrive early (10ish) as we’re not allowed pushchairs into the ground, he’s only just turned 1, (we have ear defenders for him so he doesn’t hear Grandad’s effing and jeffing), so we’ll have to carry him hence the need to park as close as possible. After guidance for close by parking, happy to pay and not in a rush to get away. We’re in the family area of the grandstand so that side is preferable. Any help really appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridportOwl Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 If you are getting there that early I would suggest parking in the small car park in Hillsborough park, just a gentle stroll down through the park. Sure other people will have better suggestions though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Yeah I’d say just go park side and stick it somewhere on one of the residential streets around there - downside is you might be too early for many people to have gone out shopping at that time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musingowl Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Up Wadsley Lane on a side street, loads of room. Herries Road if you've not grown attached to your wing mirrors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the perfect one for us as it’s so close. 220 spaces so I’m hoping we’d be early enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Duran Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Car park next to the leisure centre.. fits cars in somehow. £5 or try behind the leisure centre.. you can park on one side. Don't park on the paths around the leisure centre.. cousin recently got his clamped and towed away by the police. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about that one but wasn’t sure if it was reserved in advance and would already be full? If not are you normally able to just pay on the day?

vulva Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 All parking on the roads opposite the bowling green on Middlewood Road will now attract parking tickets until further notice. No signs up, but they are watching you from behind the curtains. Please take my word for this and don’t risk it. Please find alternative arrangements. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
