Yet another reason we need a new stadium -

Ironically when parking up for the Derby game on Tuesday myself and my wife were verbally abused for parking in front of someone's house and we decided to move it as we felt our car would be vandalised when we returned.

You should of told them you can park where you like, it's not against the law to park outside someone's house on the side streets and it's actually illegal to for them to try and block it with cones or other objects which has happened to me before.

Lots of the residents in the streets around BP seem to think they can just put cones outside their houses to stop people parking. As promotion plaice says though I wouldnt park there because of fear of criminal damage to my car. I guess they win unless the patrols are upped

Parking is an issue everywhere not just around BP. If people want to park like bell ends, then they will.
Issuing tickets could well be the easiest answer.

I live down Rosalind Ave and just up the road on Littlefield Ln we have a convenience store, chippy and a Chinese takeaway.
Pretty much all day every day I get people parking over my drive, or my neighbour's drives, or people double parking making the simple task of driving down the road a hazard.
Yes, the shops were there before we moved in, but that doesn't mean we should expect a free for all.

I've been in touch with the local authority and basically they couldn't give a toss.

The trouble is you might come back to your car and find a big scratch or wing mirror missing Zorro,

Proving it was them that did it could prove very difficult.

I would have moved my car as well.

And like what mariner1980 said, the local authority wouldn't give a toss either.

The answer really is an new stadium with viable car parking spaces for people.

Had the same last season, some bloke come out his house swearing at me and my mate. Wasn't a chance I was gonna leave it there for him to do something to it...

I had a house in Ward street, but when I moved there I knew that on match days they could be a problem parking near my house, just had to accept that on match days parking could be an issue.  Not it was a problem for me as I was always at Blundell Park, so car never moved from the space I had parked in.

Careless and dangerous parking is not acceptable, but some of the comments are laughable

"The problem of matchday parking has apparently spiralled "out of control" since Grimsby Town's[/b] promotion to League 2, and has prompted residents to hold a meeting with authorities to try to come up with a solution".

"If they can get a car in, even if it's tight, they will just do it."

Daubney Street resident, Sandra Ellis, explained how she often has to squeeze her car in between "poorly" parked cars.

How do we know that its people attending BP that are parking on the junctions and not the residents.

Blundell Park has been there since 1901, so unless you are 116+ years old, you bought your home, knowing about parking problems on match days. Can never remember reading anything in the Grimsby Evening Telegraph that parking around BP had stopped the emergency services attending an incident.

North East Lincolnshire councillor and local resident, Hazel Chase, is fronting a campaign group [b]made up of residents and says she is fearful that if nothing is done as a matter of urgency, "we will see a life lost".

Well Councillor Haze they is already a solution to your problem, its called GTFC community stadium site at Peaks Parkway development, support this development and your parking issues and lost of life fears will be solved.

Reading the article it not about parking outside their houses but it is about parking right on corners obstructing the corner which is illegal.

It makes it a pain when leaving trying to get round corners.

They are also complaining about people parking on the paths and on the corners on Cleethorpes Road etc
