Jeez. That brings back memories. I had a Wang terminal just like that at Jag Radford in the eighties.
How things have moved on.

Good shout thatThe parking thing pisses me off.
I have a house just off Hall Green Road (my mum lives in it) which is affected by the restrictions. I have to have a pass to park outside my own house, which is utterly ridiculous given the distance from the ground. It's a good 25 to 30 minutes walk, so hardly convenient.
It wouldn't hurt them to make the area smaller (nobody I know there gives a shit given that nobody had any parking hassles before it got ugly), but hey, CCC.

I do wonder whether the parking exclusion zone is valid given the lack of alternative transport provision. There were special buses back to town in the early years but I've not seen one of these for a long time
That’s absolutely rightHave you contacted your councillor?
They’re leaning on constituent voice here, if you aren’t making yours heard you can’t complain.

Used to live about 500 metres from Fratton Park. Zero parking restrictions and never had a problem.I can understand people getting pissed off with dickheads who might block their car in on a Saturday afternoon but it seemed to work at St Andrews to just park on the road.

Back in the day did the same most weeks we lived Radford, near the Daimler that big game v Wolves we ended up having to park on the corner in Cashes Lane which was nearer our house than HRI'm getting flash backs of my Dad trawling backstreets for a space around Highfield road, the further away we got the more chance we would walk past a chippy. always a bonus
We used to park in Stratford St, and often have one in the pub opposite the jack block. Damned if I can remember what it was called.I'm getting flash backs of my Dad trawling backstreets for a space around Highfield road, the further away we got the more chance we would walk past a chippy. always a bonus

I know nobody believes there will be a new ground but surely we're not paying out to rebuild parts of the ground for a 7-10 year stay.
Always parked round by the Hastings pub for a drink in there then maybe a quickie in the mercer’s if we had time and maybe one in there after the game.All before drink driving was a no noWe used to park in Stratford St, and often have one in the pub opposite the jack block.

Not sure why but planning permission doesn't appear to have been sought for the sports bar, that's from searching by postcode on the planning portalThey block those stairs off on match days I think to stop our fans ending up with the away fans. They're obviously going to have to do something.
If building work is involved and they want to have it ready for next season they'll have to put in for planning ASAP won't they? Should know more then.

Old Red Horse: and do you know why the Jack block called that?We used to park in Stratford St, and often have one in the pub opposite the jack block. Damned if I can remember what it was called.
Is it something to do with Welsh (miners ) coming to Cov and living there? a bit like the Jock estate in NuneatonOld Red Horse: and do you know why the Jack block called that?

You would think if they need planning permission to change a sign we would need permission to start knocking down walls and putting a shop front in.Only one that shows in the sign out the front.
No: it was built floor by floor and as each floor was finished it was jacked up, so the top floor was built first hence known locally as the Jack blockIs it something to do with Welsh (miners ) coming to Cov and living there? a bit like the Jock estate in Nuneaton
