Car parking in the Ricoh area. (1 Viewer)

[StevieM]

Just a reminder to all those intending to drive to Fridays game that the matchday exclusion zone is still in operation.
My mother-in-law lives off Holbrooks Lane and the Parking Wardens were out in force for the Jehovas bash last weekend-my missus counted 10 cars down her Mums road with tickets on.
One of the outlaws neighbours even had a ticket for parking outside his own gaff!
I've got a few resident "pass" tickets at home but I don't know what the dates are on them (they are the rub off date type lottery ticket type things issued to the locals by the council).
Wouldn't want any body to get a parking ticket as a surprise when they return to their motor after the game, so beware.

while we are here....Can you park in the Ricoh Tesco car park if you pay?

I always park for free there. Never had any problems.

If the security are on the barriers and seem to be stopping cars I either pop in Tesco's and get some shopping or hang around a bit until they have gone. Usually though they are not there at the end of the game.

Just looked to book a car park place within Ricoh Arena and the book now option wasn't to be found. Has it sold out?

If coming in from M6 J3 head for Longford.
Plenty of private car parks down there and after a 15 minute walk away from stadium straight back onto M6

This is the one I use www.ricohparking.co.uk but there are several others.

You can only book car parking by visiting the Ricoh Arena now, online bookings are no longer being taken. I would use one of the "private" car parks.... or Tescos

Ive always parked lythalls lane way on Congleton close near the cherrytrees. Unfortunately the resident there passed away last year :-(. Im really unsure where to park. Cant remember if the cherrytrees was members only parking. I do know the parking attendant but I think its too much of getting a chance... might do the tesco trick

This is my normal strategy too. Only ever been checked once.

Don't need to be a member at the Cherry Tree, either to park or drink. £3 (or least is used to be).

 

[Mr pot]

Yeah your right. It because its says members or social club in the name. Ill give it bash.

Whats the parking at finbarrs like? Better there for the kids...

Be careful for this game at Tescos they only have security at big games so would expect them to be all over the place on Friday.

Yeah if it's like other big games they'll be on the gates for 30-45 mins after the game. Have a coffee or two, or do some shopping if you can.

Me and my brothers have always used Pizza Hut/Burger King - Got away for it for 7 seasons, but your allowed to park there if you buy something from either I think

Happy to do my shopping at a stupid time of night if I have to.

Be worth checking the signs if you've planning to use Tesco, a lot of shopping places have started using ANPR and you automatically get a fine through the post if you're in there more than 2 hours. Not that they can legally enforce it of course but it's down to how much hassle you want.

They say that but I've never had a ticket and if you think about it, it's pretty unenforcible. Like you say, those tickets are so easy to get out of (did one for a Halfords car park recently) it's worth the risk. I think it's mostly scare tactics.

Don't even need to do any shopping as such, you can put £25 on a tesco gift card, and do the shopping another time. You only need to show the receipt, they don't care what it's for.
