Doesn't the Rosebine belong to the RFU?

Was this in the club car park as i am planning to park there next week.

It was in the Car Park on the main road dual carriageway outside the ground. At the first entrance we were told by two stewards to use the next car park 100 metres on the left. This was were most fans and coaches were parking. A guy came up and asked for £5. I then asked for a ticket and he just looked bemused asking if i really wanted one.

When we returned after the game, the back window behind the drivers seat had been smashed to get into the boot from which a coat had been taken. There was no sign of any security or attendants.

I think it is very poor that £5 can be charged for basically doing nothing. I don't know if it is an official club car park, possibly not with no tickets being issued, but I certainly would advise against anyone parking there in the future.

I think we may have been parked next to you, we were in a green corsa and also had our back window put in.
We have been told that radio humbeside had been asked to advise anyone affected to contact harlequins on monday. Our main complaint is that there were no attendants to report to, they seem to just take your £5 and go.

This is the first I've heard of issues with the Rosebine car park so let the club know ASAP. This is obviously a major problem.

we've parked there before without a problem. I would imagine the carpark was targeted due to it being dark and no visible car parking attendants. I think with the imminent lighter nights it will be less of a problem.

Yup, as far as I know (I've only parked there twice) there supposed to be someone patrolling the car park while the game is on, the club needs to be aware if that is not happening.

Sorry to hear anyone has had problems.
