Saying that, residents can also apply for visitor badges for a tenner a pop, so I can see a parking badge black market forming.... ? That’s exactly what was proposed.

My plan is for my dad to get a visitor's pass, otherwise he's fucked at his age and because of a few other things. He would stop going I reckon.

Inigo 32,526 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Btw, is this not something the club and Club1872 should be engaging with fans about already? Given the difficulties it could cause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Scotstoun they have to paste notices on all the parking restriction signs whenever a game is on, then come and remove them afterwards, which obviously costs money. Not sure who picks up that cost, but I suspect it's the stadium owners and part of an agreement when they built the stadium. Can't see Rangers being too happy to pay for it.

I think it might be a legal requirement that the notices need to go up at each entry point to the restricted zone, with dates and times stated (so that people can't say they didn't know). As well as the fixed signposts that need to be fitted, that will be a lot of notices to go up and down around Ibrox every other week and then for mid-week games. Would probably be cheaper and easier just to make it residents only parking permanently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not just the residential areas that are restricted though? Looks like it on this map (red lines only seem to be on residential streets). Also found this, looks like it's the same temporary signage system as Scotstoun, which is going to cost someone a fair bit of money considering how many entry points there are and how often they'll have to do it. https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=36287&p=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jintybear 8,536 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have a friend who lives in dumbreck and he lets me park in his driveway. He told me that other residents in his estate hire their driveway out on matchdays. I don't know if people advertise this somewhere? Maybe @Inigo would know.

Although that's more for sauntering home after a night out in the West End. Two minds about that, mind. I doubt the pickpockets and rascals of Govan would see that my passage was an unmolested one, so to speak. FSM 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same off Fairley St that’s industrial for the most part If they really want to do this then put a plan in place for everyone that go to instead of just No Parking and move along.

CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 We used to live on brand street which was roughly a mile from Ibrox. Loved match days when the place was buzzing with bears. Had a car which we knew would not be moving for that time. Never had any problems in the 2 years there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been parking near Howdens this season but it's shite for getting away. Any recommendations for getting away onto m8 westbound(I never leave early)? I can only suggest you contact Steve Clarke mate ..... he seems to be "the go to man" when it comes to parking near Ibrox ..... and he drives a double decker bus which he successfully parked right on the field on Saturday ..... Can't get closer than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
