Anyway, people should just park on Tesco but try and be sly about it, i.e. pop in the store. Tesco don't employ anybody to monitor the car park, so I can't see who'll fine you.

Be Carefull with this one though as you can be caught out..

Last season the car park was patrolled by a guy who took numbers & fined people £70 if they stayed longer than 90 minutes.

A relative of mine thought they would be risk it and park on Tesco's whilst they came to the game. He ended up with a £70 fine.

DONT park on tesco
Council car parks are free
There are free car parks on Orford Lane near Donatellos and the Irish Club
There are no parking restrictions on the road which runs alongside Evan House or the one alongside Lythgoes lane (opposite Wickes)

Plenty of FREE and LEGAL parking within walking distance of the ground so no excuse to be able to avoid using this rip-off. You cant blame the car park owners. They are a business and for as long as people use it, they will charge it.

Someone should knock up a .pdf highlighting all the free zones around the ground.

Re: Car park : Mon Feb 13, 2012 9:53 am  

if you find a free car park simply put what you were going to pay in a jar and by the end of the season you`ll probably have enough to pay for next seasons season ticket,to me thats a great incentive

£4 is anal without lubricant really. Can't deny it. However, as a few posters have highlighted, there can be no gripe aslong as people are willing to continue parking there. I park on Orford Lane carpark or by 147 snooker club somewhere. No charge and a quick walk to the stadium.

Well, put it this way, half of my girlfriend's family work in that store and they've never seen anybody clamped and/or fined. If needs be, go and park on the far left side near the staff entrance, as they might blag your car as an employee's/visitor's. If there are people that watch, they have to be from an external company, which wouldn't make sense if it's Tesco's private land. Furthermore, half of the staff would be getting clamped as they all use the car park to work with (I know they used to do little notes for your windscreen to say you're a member of staff, but still, quite a lot of the staff don't use them).
