Motorcycle parking at Home Park

[IJN]

Seems that way. Sad was to earn revenue. Some people at PCC should be ashamed.

Why? Break the law you get fined.....or are Argo fans entitled differently? Park in the appropriate bays, no fine.....simple

It was Bradford fans, but hey ho, fact was never your forte was it?

The enforcers had a field day on this patch yesterday (left hand side of the fencing). There were 10 vehicles there and 9 had tickets on them. The 10th had a disabled badge on the dash so that could be why they didn't get one. It's virtually a guarantee that people will get ticketed on match days if they park here. Unless it's a Tuesday evening when the wardens have all gone home.

I don’t know if the bylaws have changed, but it was always legal to park on a pavement as long as you are not causing an obstruction. Therefore the tickets issued to cars parked on this bit of land are not enforceable.

Obviously, we ought to park in the bags, my protest is against deliberate targeting at one car park at a specific time, be it on a Saturday when Argyle are home. I arrived at Home Park yesterday at 1 pm and found 1 car parking space. I stayed in my car for over an hour, how many parking enforcement officers did I see - NONE, come 3:30 loads - this is deliberate targeting

Yep, waiting until kick off, leave it a while and then sneak the Fixed Penalties on.

Must be so proud.

How do you know they don't check this area for illegally parked vehicles on non-match days at the same time?

Listen Paul, I caught you with a Multi this week, did you receive a fine? :greensmile:

As Grandmaster Flash once put it...

"Ain't nobody elses fault, so don't do it"

Park where it is clear and obvious you are supposed to park and you won't get a ticket, simples.

The preponderance of 'kin parking threads recently is alarming, why has everyone started being total biffs :facepalm:

It was so old I would have had to appealed to Michael Foot. Mind you, it was only 2/6d

How rude.......calling me a liar!
So the dude on a motor bike from north Devon was a Bradford fan then? Plus most tickets are given to home fans.
Modesty was never your forte was it?

I won’t get into a slanging match with you!

As for you being a liar, I could get involved but I won’t.

Suffice to say I’ve Blocked you on both FB and Twitter.

I still remember your outrageous Amsterdam comments, so I’m out.

This area was being used by Bradford City fans' cars from what I could see. Bet they're well chuffed.
Having looked at the new plan for motorcycle parking this will be one of the designated areas...
and whilst we're at it don't start me on the "no beacons" designating the crossing point shown in the photograph

Being a non-driver, can anyone enlighten me as to why this particular patch of tarmac is a no go zone for parking?

Where I live loads of people park on pavements, grass verges etc & I've never seen a parking ticket issued.

No. Rule 145 of the Highway Code clearly states that: You MUST NOT drive on or over a pavement, footpath or bridleway except to gain lawful access to property, or in the case of an emergency. This is also backed up in Law under the Highways Act of 1835.

I will be looking into the tickets issued to motorcycles parked in area I approved. I will of course deal with any incorrectly issued, can I ask any motorcyclist if they would be happy to park on the slope on the entrance to Home park ? The area on the photos, the motorcycle parking trial has proven that a designated area or 2 will helps with capacity and I will formalise signing shortly, apologies for any inconvenience
