For those who don't know, CCFC have just slipped on the end of a tweet that this car park is now double the price from last season. £10 to park. Probably out of their control but there you go. Tesco have tightened up on their parking policy too on match days.

What happens if you go there and use all the shops it may take more than two hours:banghead:

I can't see how this will be enforced. They will start charging normal shoppers £100

They can now legally enforce should they wish to and they are going to.
Isn't that what the policy says?
I get that, just think it's a bit harsh for people who aren't interested in the football who may be there for more than two hours
Would be much easier if they just had someone stood there on the way in, charge a tenner and give you a voucher that can be redeemed in any shop if you spend over £20.What happens if you go there and use all the shops it may take more than two hours:banghead:
Wouldn't be Tesco, will be outsourced.I wouldn't like to take on Tesco by disputing it!

The parking has become problematic - loads were parking there last season and it was impossible to get a space. Let's hope the same rigour is applied to wasps games - though I doubt it.
They use that system at the O2 when there's events on at the arena and they want you to use a car park that's further away, takes forever to get out of and costs £31 instead of £8 in the usual car park.They asked me on Sunday why I was there
Doesn't surprise me its £184 for a season ticket which works out at £8 per league game with 2-3 cup games thrown in. And thats car park a, b and c. Fucking disgraceFor those who don't know, CCFC have just slipped on the end of a tweet that this car park is now double the price from last season. £10 to park.

Dont pay and ignore the letters. It cant be inforced
By using a space at a private car park, you have entered into a civil contract - police won’t take you to court for not paying.
Argue your case and stand your ground if you get a ticket – fewer than 5 per cent of cases are taken to County Court. If they are, most are found in the motorist’s favour.
Citizens Advice adds: 'A parking operator has no power to recover a parking charge without first taking court action. The company may continue to send requests to pay and you can continue to ignore these unless they decide to take you to the small claims court.
'If the parking operator does take you to court, you may be able to defend the action, for example, on the grounds that you did not park in breach of the parking rules and/or that the fee being demanded is unreasonably high.’
Under The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, landowners can hire third-party parking attendants to hand out charges, though they can no longer clamp.
What these private firms do not advertise is that they are not legally allowed to fine or penalise drivers for misusing private land – they can only impose a charge for potential losses or damages. And if you refuse to pay, the only way they can get the money off you is to pursue you through the civil courts.
..or their agents, whatever, this is one I got in 2008, PS I never actually paid a fine I always made sure I followed the rules, it was the parking people who got it wrong on 4 occasions out of 25 odd games.Wouldn't be Tesco, will be outsourced.
So what you are saying is Grendel just made something up about fines being enforcable.
