Did anyone use their BBs to park in the 'permit only'streets near the ground for the Roma game? If so how easy was it and did it work overall? Thanks

Not for badge holders but I noticed earlier driving into town that the huge car park in pall mall, entrance right opposite the BMW garage, by the railway arches, is doing parking for £10.

Signs up everywhere. Open from 2 hours before kick off.

About a 5-10 minute walk from there.

There is a housing estate off Boundary street. I parked there with my BB for he second test event. Just 5-10 mins walk from the ground.....no problemo

That estate is for residential permits holders Spart if you’re talking about on the right driving down.
BBs don’t trump residential.

Re: Blue Badge holders

City council said that BBs can park in all permit spaces mate.

Re: Blue Badge holders

Appreciate a link. I lived in a permit street off Utting Avenue and BBs weren’t allowed on match days.

Can park for as long as needed in permit parking areas.

I don't think residents parking bays count as being a 'permit parking area'.

I’d be more comfortable if it was specific about including residential permits. Residents won’t be happy though. Imagine coming home from wherever and there’s a line of BB cars outside your house taking your usual spec.
It won’t end well.

Aren't you only allowed 3 hours on double yellows with a blue badge?

Yes.

Lots of the advice that has been given out has been contradictory tbh. Arrive before the road closures - so 2h before KO - leave an hour after FT has been general advice. You can't leave a car on yellows, Blue Badge or no, for that length of time as you say. Aside from the fact that many can't hang around for that long anyway.

There's been a clear lack of a plan. The wristbands being announced on the Wednesday before the game speaks volumes tbh.

Aye.

It seems like little thought has gone into the whole transportation issue, surrounding the HD stadium.

It's all well and good, building a state of the art multi function arena, fit for the 21st century.

The close transport links, to and from the Stadium, aren't fit for King Arthur to tether his horses for 90 minutes.

We parked 15/20 minute walk away, we got there 3 hours before kick off and it was empty, but don’t know what it would be like for a real match turning up an hour before.
We walked down Walter street I think it was, and it was already full of cars parked, a lot of them blue badges.
So I presume the closer to the ground you’d need to be there very early. Some of them were closed off anyway, but the official line was 2 hours before kick off.

Near Market Drayton. Telford postcode, 7/8 mins from MD but just inside Staffs border. In the days of phone directories the mid-Wales phone book! No wonder we all have identity crises here!

Re: Blue Badge holders

I'm on the Wrexham supporters club coach from Chirk and I saw there was another one from mid Wales Welshpool area. I would imagine both coaches are going A483 to m53. Don't know if this is of any use to you.

The coach stop is dead handy on Regent road. 5-10 min easy walk.

Thanks. We're only 12mins off Stoke South jct on M6 so to GP it was M6, M62, M57 and E Lancs for last bit. To BMD it will probably be Whitchurch, Chester and M53. Will wave to you. :-)
