Match Night Parking

[ipiggott]

Sorry for asking this again but is it worth buying the Panthers parking deal? What is security like there? Last time i saw the Motorpoint Arena Car Park it it was basically a piece of open wasteland used for parking!

I live in London and haven't been up to Nottingham and parked in the City for 18 months and so don't know what has changed as regards parking!! Previously I parked in Marco Island, is this still open for parking and does anyone know if pries have gone up!!

Anywhere any better? I prefer not to park on the streets (done that and had car broken into too often!!)

Sorry for all the questions but thoughts/info would be appreciated

Cheers

I park at the station when I go these days, easily walkable to the arena and it's a decent multistorey.

Haven't used the parking deal since it left Broadmarsh, so can't comment on the new one.

I have had the parking pass for the past couple of years. Last year we were only allowed to part on the arena car park, For the first few games cars were broken into and a few were stolen, the council then put staff/Marshalls on there and it’s been fine. There is lots of standing water when it rains so don’t go wearing your white converses in bad weather! Works out good value for me as I’m a season ticket holder. I used to prefer parking at sheriffs lodge as it’s a smaller car park and easier to get out of.

I'd agree with all of the above. Works out good value at about £3 per game as well. Only issue for me is getting out but as long as you are a bit patient it's fine (oh and I hope some of the potholes have been filled in). I'll be buying another one though.

I have a friend who is working on the development just along a bit near the virgin active. His company is about to develop on the piece of land near the BBC which is currently the Arena car Park. He says they are due to start ground works there in about 3 weeks (ie start building on it) so he wonders how the arena is currently advertising this as it will be dug up well before the season starts as far as his company knows. The Broadmarsh is I believe due to open early October so whether the development will be delayed until then, who knows but I think it is safe to say once the broadmarsh is open, this plot of land will go, the only question is are they going to delay the work on the outside space near the BBC until the Broardmarsh comes on line? If I was to want to book it I would ring the council and ask them this but I don't need parking in the city as I already have my space as I work in the city.

I started using the tram from the Forest last season. It's safe parking and pretty quiet going in. BUT, going home is a different matter. The trams were filled to capacity, often one or two drunks or undesirables,and a pretty uncomfortable journey stood nose to nose. Unless NET have limited passenger numbers it's a journey I'd not be willing to take under the current circumstances

Parking , I believe, on Bath Street is free from 6pm but someone can correct me. Why pay anything if you can get there for that time. Get there at 5pm and pay for one hour even. Chill and feast/drink beforehand n a local.

I think it was £2 unlimited after 6pm, but anyway it's now changed. Now seems to be £1.20 per hour and free after 10pm now.


If you do want to park here though, make sure to not drift onto Nile Street or Boston Street (all off of Bath Street) as the price on those sideroads doubles to £2.40 per hour.

Recently dropped into Sutton on Sea near Mablethorpe and parking on the main road was payable up to 10pm. However, though you’d assume a parking attendant could ruin your day by hanging around that long he wasn’t there to lock up the toilets. Those were well closed by 8pm.... typical. As you say things change. I’ve not driven into Nottingham that late for ages,

Thanks for all the replies.

I had seen in the offer that it covered Motorpoint Arena Car Park and Broadmarsh so makes sense that as the Motorpoint Arena one is only temporary it would close as soon as Broadmarsh reopens!

No parking on the Island anymore its full of student apartments.
The Motorpoint carpark is a mass of weeds and giant potholes, I'm sure there was parking on Canal street that you can buy a pass for same as the Motorpoint site just off the island.
