No I agree, but I think the fines should be indicative of any losses or inconvenience.How would you feel if someone parked on your drive and went to the match ? Simple , dont park where you should nt .
Perhaps that's the point if making it so high...they don't want people parking there anyway, risking a low fine....the potential of a high fine is meant to deter people from chancing it.No I agree, but I think the fines should be indicative of any losses or inconvenience.
Me parking somewhere for less than 5 minutes while someone ran into a shop and getting a £120 fine (with a kind 50% discount if paid quickly) is more than a little excessive.
If it was a £15 fine I would've paid it.
Wouldn't bother me, I'd be at the match. They'd have a bloody long walk though.How would you feel if someone parked on your drive and went to the match ? Simple , dont park where you should nt .
Fair point, but I think there's something in the law that it has to be a fair fine indicative of lost earnings...and £120 is a jokePerhaps that's the point if making it so high...they don't want people parking there anyway, risking a low fine....the potential of a high fine is meant to deter people from chancing it.
They cant fine you hence its a penalty charge and its dealt with under common law. As its common law you are paying compensation to the injured party and as such any penalty should be proportionate. If you get 2 hours free parking and overstay by 10 minutes then you should pay for the extra 10 minutes that you've used. If you have 2 hours free they can't justify any more than 8% of the original charge which is nil anyhow!

Gaz, I think you could be at risk if they did everything by the book. If the parking charge is £120, that might be excessive.It's not like parking on someones drive, these parking spots are for customers of the stores and I shop in the stores after the match, I live in Rugby so kill 2 birds with 1 stone by doing my weekly shop at the superstore after the match, sometimes I get my haircut before the game so will be in the car park for about 4 hours.

Interesting.
I got done outside of FarGo on a rare trip back to coventry in December 2015. Same old story, less than 5 minutes was just accompanying my little sister inside. Didn't actually see any signs but they were there.
A guy was waiting for me and I had the fine on my windscreen. Researched it and decided not to pay it. Didn't hear anything for months but have recently started getting collection letters through my door, and they're asking me to pay £160. Don't think that's a reasonable cost incurred for less than a 5 minute stay. Appreciate they will claim they are adding all the letter fees on this. I am naturally getting a little bit anxious....I think when it get's to a court summons I'll pay the fee....
Shit isn't it.Got done at the same place. Really sneaky, you have a public car park with a handful of spaces that are private and the signage is poor. The whole car park was empty and I paid and displayed thinking I was in the public spaces. Keep getting letters and keep ignoring them. If it goes to court I'll win so not arsed.
You can easily spend hours in the shops at the Ricoh
I like food shopping. I hate queues at the tills, but am very happy whizzing round the aisles buying stuff.Speak for yourself...five minutes in and I'm looking at my watching wondering about zooming into town to go to White Friars. Maybe you could escort Mrs Oucho around the Arena Park shopping centre if your tolerance level is that high, I'll get you a beer at a game if you step in on my behalf!

It's very rare we are less than two hours around the Arena shops. We go to Tesco, and usually Decathlon and Pets at Home and always into New Look.

Where else can I buy a riding whip, jodhpurs, cockatiel mix and fresh mushrooms all in the same place?Christ, two hours at the Arena shops....no wonder you're such a passionate City fan, you clearly have a high tolerance to boring, un-glamorous and unrewarding uses of time!
