i know im just nit picking here but its bloody robbery charging £5 to park at the kc this year. i thought £3 over the last few years was fair enough but £5 a time will soon add up ovder the season. any thoughts?

thats pretty well what I said to the guy handing the tickets out.

TBF they've got to re-coup the costs for those "heroes of Hull" photo things as you go in (joking). A 67% increase since last year is shocking IMO.

Taking into account your location, your support is admirable and costs you a few quid over the year, so i can see how £5 to park the car is a bit of bummer, I dont know if it still runs, but is the park and ride from Priory Park an option for you??

yeah ha ha it looked a nice touch. im taking bets how long before yeamo gets a tash drawn on his face. ha ha

ill take a look at that option next time for the catalans game. thanks

I used the Park and Ride last night and was suprised when we got back on the second bus how few cars were in the car park.
The price of the bus has gone up to £2 return which for a car full would be £8 so Walton Street would still be cheaper.
I'm sure when the stadium opened it was either £1 or £1.20 on the bus. Thats a massive increase in 5 years and might just be the reason the car park wasn't full.
Got to say through that price aside it's a superb service.

Its because City is a fiver to, its the SMC decision I decided not to park there this year too, Duffen has to pay for his Dubai trips and his Lamborghini Diablo someway.

on street parking is free

i wouldent mind paying a fiver if there was actually an organised way of getting the traffic out at the end! rather than the free for all. Some of that blame lays with the council though, as i do believe the SMC asked to make it one way on City match days years ago (ie 2 lanes going each way out of the ground) but it was refused.

we've abandoned the car park, and it looked last night that many others have done the same.

Not everywhere is covered by parking permits, I parked down Boulevard as usual on the main road, this isn't covered by the permits. There were 2 officers stood outside the church when we arrived waiting to hand out tickets. If you get there early enough it's no problem.

I also dont get why Walton Street wasnt widened years ago, one extra lane to filter into the car park (which of course is used nearly all week for markets, park and ride etc) would make a huge difference.

glad i paid £35 now
