ranger_syntax 4,422 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 It's not harsh. Football is a luxury, not a necessity. Parking at the football is even less of a necessity. I don't believe that Pete was making a serious argument. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 This is a charge to park on the street. It's a cynical attempt to fleece the fans of one of the city's clubs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that Pete was making a serious argument. I just hate paying for parking as well. 10 pound for 2hrs parking is as GS says fleecing people. I am also certain some people will live on the borderline but will buy a season ticket. I can also see some people buying it on credit and paying it when they get their holiday pay. I may be wrong but it happens with nearly everything so I will be surprised if some do not go into debt to buy one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,801 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 A similar scheme has been in place in Scotstoun for a few years now, primarily for the Glasgow Warriors games. It's great for residents, it can be a nightmare parking anywhere near your house when a match is on, something that made me very angry when our kids were still babies. I'm surprised this hasn't been introduced before now, the Scotstoun scheme is about 4 years old now. Ibrox is well served by public transport, there are car parks at various underground stations and the Science Centre is only a 10 minute walk from the ground. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,114 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I wonder if they will have a similar one to inconvenience Celtic fans? I'm not holding my breath. Don't they get to use the car park at the Emirates Arena? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,734 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I've always thought our carpark could be put to better use outwith matchdays to bring in revenue. Not sure how though 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,734 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 FWIW I gave up going to home game by car & joined a local supporters bus. Too much hassle going by car because of parking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
