Help / advice re parking at retail park.

Fri Mar 03, 2023 5:22 pm

Was seriously considering missing tomorrows game due to poor health atm but as I’ve missed the last 3 games I’ve wanted to make a big effort.
The problem I have is that we usually park in Canton and under my current state of health, that walk is too much.
My wife, bless her, has offered to drop me at retail park, do a couple of hours shopping and still be there when match is finished to go home.
Seems straightforward but was wondering are there any rules & regs for parking there, that would prevent this from happening. Any advice will be greatly appreciated :thumbup:

To stop people parking or indeed shopping ! On match day stays are limited to to 90 mins (it's signed) before anpr tickets are issued. I like you regularly suffer from walking issues and days when it's too much I stomach the £10 fee and park in the ground. Got to be in there an hour before though. Another way around it would be to drop you off, have the wife nip in Lidl for 40mins then go to the retail park at about 3.45 and pick you up at 5 thus staying within the 90 mins

If you get the just park app on either android or apple phones you can pay to park in the retail park. You can set you arrival and departure times so aren’t limited to the time restrictions on match day.
