Parking this weekend?
- Thread starter Pondlife
- Start date
That was me. When I arrived there were a few players vehicles and probably a few hockey fans. Sitting in the car observing and waiting for the doors to open, it was clear that a large number of vehicles were from people using the pool/gym. A steady stream of vehicles were driving around looking for the odd space left by a swimmer etc.
I do wander if local residents, both those at the pointe and those who can no longer park in Morrisons are parking in the area too. I would have understood the car parks to be that busy if there was a swimming gala, or if great numbers of people were coming and going at about the same time from the pool. After all those cars must be parked somewhere.....
Nobody was parked on the lane to yacht club until about 1800
Fence to old BBT was not open until I guess 1700ish and Devils fans used that
Residents car park was not full of gym or swimmers as I got home 1700 and only about 8-10 cars in there and I'm sure all were residents
Swimming pool car park gates get closed nowadays so residents don't park in there
Yes other people are probably chucking crap in car parks (a childs car seat was dumped on Monday!) but I assure you the new rubbish where I'm saying was Devils fans. No debate. Sorry but 'we' were responsible not the swimmers or gym bunnies!

The council are already stepping in and ironically this is due to residents parking on the pavement!
There were public notices up in the summer regarding Cardiff County taking powers to deal with cars parked on the pavements. I'll have a look to see if any are still there later. If the precipitation stops.

I think the first pinch point on parking is going to be with us very soon, over the weekend of the 23/24 September the City Of Cardiff Swimming Club have their Club Championships at the CIP and it will effect the Devils game on the Sunday against Manchester lets hope they are finished early.
The next really big problem will be early in November when we play the Steeleers when it is the Welsh Open at the CIP and this is a Saturday game with no Morrison's car park. Lets hope that further alternative arrangements will be in place by then.

Am I right in thinking some attendees to tonight's game used the Toys R Us carpark? Looked like people crossing the road to collect their cars from there...and several cars parked together trying to leave.
Never going to stop this, unfortunately. Expect there were people parking in Morrison's tonight thinking it was ok.
Doesn't matter how well advertised this season's parking arrangements have been, there will always be people who won't read them properly...or at all.
And there will be first time/infrequent attendees who won't have a clue.

I have never bought a program, not on FB or Twitter. I get my info from devils website or primarily
the Inferno. I'm sure there are new followers to the Devil's who are on none of the above.
A suggestion would be a message on the ticket directing them to Devils website which then offers info on parking on match nights.

" We have agreed that players, staff and volunteers cars will be parked in Morrisons to free up additional spaces in Ice Arena Wales carpark. These cars are only able to park in Morrisons due to registrations being allocated onto the ANPR system. " Sorry but loads of Devils' cars parked in IAW car park last night. Also can people just use 1 space & not 1& 1/2 spaces. If you don't want another car anywhere near yours then parrk elsewhere.
In the Guildford match thread, there's a link to a PDF of the match night programme for tonight's game which can be downloaded for free before the game. Just 6 pages of basic teams info, stats etc which perhaps we should look at adding to game previews on the website - could easily incorporate a parking info page, with relevant info for whatever night of the week the game is on. I like that idea a lot and people could still buy the full match night programme with more info etc. if they preferred that option.
