| Can anybody tell me if the car park behind B&Q is still free to park on, car park 4 i think it is and what time would I have to get there to find a parking space, I drove round for ages at the Hull match trying to find a free parking spec because i only taken enough money for a pie and a pint

| Even when car park 4 looks rammed you can usually find somewhere on there to park, thanks to the atrocious parking skills displayed by most who go on there!

| I always park in the car park on Pennyhurst Street, across the road from Corkills. Only a 5-10 minute walk down the canal from there.

Some users of car park 4 have turned this into something of an art form and should be congratulated for their skills - parking at precisely 23 degrees from the perpindicular to the neigbouring cars, whilst leaving a gap at either side precisely 1.7 inches too small for another car to get in and also blocking any transportation vehicle wider than a bicycle from getting past isn't easy you know.

Something like that, but 100 times worse - my personal theory is its all the DW stadium stewards deliberately parking up badly to make people use the pay car parks.

| Yeah the last couple of games seems like everyone has twigged that its the free carpark and are just parking anywhere to get on. You end up with rows going on angles until they block the exit because no cars can get past. lol

I find that if you stay till the end of the match, by the time you get back to car park 4 there is plenty of space to get out.

| One of the reasons the car park behind B & Q may be more popular going forward is that there has been quite a few cars vandalised in the area during recent home matches. The street behind the Fire Station had at least 10 cars with wing mirrors hanging off & windows smashed after the Hull game. My car had its wing mirror done and i will now be parking on the free car park behind B & Q.

hey, i never do the walk, i pay to watch the full 80 minutes and clap the players at the end but if i do enter the car park looking for a space then have to get out to go on the paid car park then it's full and i have trouble.
