Parking options for CBS? (1 Viewer)

Somerset Sky Blue · Aug 1, 2021

Hi all,
Just wondering what parking options are available this year for people who drive up from outside the area?
I've used a car park in a field nearer the motorway junction and the official car parks before - simply because I arrive and leave via motorway rather than through Coventry.
Any ideas (within reason Otis!) are welcome.

The field near the motorway junction sold out to wasps a few years ago

I park in the three horseshoes pub by the fire station it was a fiver when last in there.
I find that easy to get in and out of and I live 100+ miles away.

Will have a quick look at that then....

After similar advice actually. Used to park in the car garage on Rowley Green Lane and used to be a fiver but today it was full over an hour before kick off so ended up paying 15 (fifteen!!!) quid to park in the stadium for it then to take an age to get away. Heading out A444 towards the A46, anyone with experience or from the area with any tips much appreciated

Just looked - now called new horseshoe and an Indian restaurant, no mention of match day parking.
Think we will all be looking for new places in the next few weeks.

The three car parks at the arena are £12 in advance, though two are sold out already.

Go on JustPark, YourParkingSpace or park my drive, book you first parking via their website if it’s ok approach the owner direct and arrange to book for all the matches you want. I’ve parked in Hen Lane for years, did the same at Birmingham. If you offer 80% of what it’s on the website for they will agree ad they have to pay 25% commission. Win win for both you and them.

Just had a look there is one in Masser Rd about a 7 minute walk from the ground at 4.50

Good suggestion - just looked, plenty of options available, so will try this.

That’s it the new horseshoe, I found it ok plenty of spaces mind you we were in league one then and crowds were not brilliant

skybluejelly · Aug 2, 2021

just splatter mud over one letter of your number plate so the anpr cant read it ,and park in tesco , just remember to clean it off after you have left

fernandopartridge · Aug 2, 2021

Other option is to try the Blackburn Rd industrial estate as that is outside of the parking restrictions

We usually do exactly the same and so took a chance and abandoned it for free down by dhillons. Suggests fines and clamping in operation but don't know if they do or not. Was ok or lucky I guess, but will hopefully be back to normal for other games. I assume the Rowley auto must have filled with Wolves cars as not that many there and certainly not that early.

AOM · Aug 2, 2021

The club are doing parking season tickets too, which will work out cheaper if you're going to every game

NEWS: On-site and off-site parking available for individual games and seasonally

On-site and off-site car parking is available to book for Coventry City's games back at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

www.ccfc.co.uk

Noticed it's also now a tenner for some off-site parking. Not sure if that's a new thing?

Great recommendation, thanks, got a spot 10minutes walk for a fiver.

This i think, get there nice and early. Is there a quick way of getting through to the canal like there used to be years back.

Yea there is a sort of path through the green, not ideal in winter but sound this time of year

Park in Tesco, think if you spend something like £25 minimum you are okay, do a bit of shopping or better still buy a pair of shoes or something for £30 or so from Tesco, Next or M&S and take them back later saying they are too big or something and get a refund.

You have to scan receipts every time and send them to the company if you are zapped. Is it really worth the hassle?

I can picture it. Just spunked £42 on some plastic shoes from tesco, city lose 3-0, they are getting fucked in the canal and i'm walking home bare foot.

And after attempting to do this 23 times over a year on the same days they’re not going to suspect something might be up?

Perhaps not the best idea

Would get to the point where the staff in Tesco would be doing wagers for when the strange guy who buys the same loafers every other Saturday and then returns them the next day will come in

Can you spend it on fuel? Just go with a low tank and fill up at the game

I had a problem with an ANPR car park after I checked in at a restaurant and obviously their system did not recognise this.
I finally resolved it but they weren't interested in my appeal clearly showing I had spent money.
In the end they more or less said "send us £20 and we'll forget about it"
I contacted the restaurant and they told the parking company to back off.
I had the impression that the parking company's business was more based on "fines" than legitimate payments
