£10 to park your car at the CG is so over the top.
The Cricket Ground is only £3 and normally where I park if I arrive early.
In these hard times you would think the Board would taken the initative and drop the price of parking, 100% increase this season was a bit excessive.
It isn't even half full these days and probably shows that the fans from out of the area do not travel like they did just a couple of years ago to watch home games, the good value in the season ticket sales probably masked the car parking prices to most of you local supporters - if like me you travel travel up to a lot of games on your own, I find I am actually paying more to park my car at the ground than watch the match, how silly is that.
Sides like Reading offer a parking permit scheme as part of the season ticket (optional) this makes a lot of sense, I hope the board looks into this for next season.
I know you will say there is a lot of off street parking but for those like me who travel a distance for each game you sometimes do not have the time to find parking places away from the ground.

I thought we had a 'car park season ticket' scheme, and that this had sold out with spaces only available on the day if there where no shows. Must have dreamt it.

Unless you are not very mobile I don't see why you would park at the CG rather than the cricket pitch or a bit further out (for free).

If that is the case then it is the first I've heard of it.
Apart from Leeds the car park is never more than half full.

The reason I do not always park at the Cricket Ground is this, if I get there 15 minutes before kick off, I have to park so far away from the entrance it can take an hour to get out. Off street parking has also all gone by that time as well.
On match days it has taken on occasions over 2 1/2 hours to arrive at the ground because of traffic congestion.

Park in Tesco

If your only going to get there 15 minutes before kick off and the county ground is your last resort anyway then stop moaning

According to OS:

This is a up post for me on a Monday!! :)

tee hee sorry.

Reading what it says on the OS it seems quite fair anyway

I never go onto the site, so it's all my own fault for not getting one in advance.

Can a mod please delete this thread, it makes me look a bigger dick than most of you think I am already!!! :-[ :D

park in the merlin

Can people stop advising people to park in the merlin!

That's my carpark.........

No deleting. You should take responsibility for your threads.

multi storey

Dont be a muppet Dell, its so we can rip off the away supporters.

Cant see why anyone pays parking at all? Theres loads of street parking out Walcot way.

I always park in the lane next to the cricket pitch,its free but you got to get there before 2,wont pay £5 for cricket pitch....its a paddy field in the winter as well,it always pisses me off paying fo parkng...airports are the worst.

i park my bus in front of the goal

Because things are going wrong on the pitch, is this just a good time to state everything else that ppl aren't happy about either?

Like ppl say, theres plenty of places not far to walk that are cheaper.

as already mentioned,park at tescos.can get there for 2.45 and be in your seat for kick off

Be carefull though arriba...they will put miniature warning signs up one day and you will come back with some heavyweight inbred demanding 200 quid to unclamp your motor...be warned.

then i will buy something from tesco and say i had a meal in the cafe.

I think I'm right by saying that clamping posters/information have to be a certain size (pretty large), and the signs have to be a certain height off the ground so all can read, the happy clampers must also hold and display there security licence (this has cut out a lot of firms using this system). There must also be information throughout the area telling you where to go and read about the clamping laws around the area.

Ime sure the sed inbred will understand your feelings arriba and unclamp you!
Reading fans used to park at MCdonalds and found out the hard way thats all ime saying.

There is also match day parking in the fire station, proceeds going to charity.

if not capable of using a map and finding the free street parking around the ground then you deserve to pay £10

If you get clamped cut the chains.......(only if its a private company)......then tell them to go and get fucked....done it twice...no comeback.
