In short, won't be available on a match by match basis, but as an ST style one.

The price of success I guess!

Two or three years ago you could park where you like and watch the tumbleweed blow between the few cars on there!

So where are they suggesting supporters from the away teams park this season?

Looks like 11am for a spot on South Parade.

In the same place we have to park when we visit the majority of away grounds in League Two - on the street.

Who ends up with the money from this, the council or do LCFC get a cut ?

 

[JT_LCFC]

Just bung it down Sinny Bank.

I use the free bus travel via my season ticket saves a lot of aggro.
Mind that's going to be fun for the first few weeks of the season as Dixon street is shut for bridge repairs!

I'm going to hit the roads at morning and evening rush hour to get involved in the traffic chaos. I don't need to go anywhere but I like moaning about things and it sounds like and opportunity too good to miss.

This has disaster written all over it !

As I understand it only 250 cars on the South Common. Who is going to police it, vehicles in etc. It will cause more chaos with those wanting to park on there who are not entitled and being turned away. If somebody is policing it then why can’t they collect pay on the day monies. Or is it the case footfall required in the City Centre spending money pre / post match.

I'd also like to know the definitive stance on it being 'common' land and whether or not any charge to park there can be made in the first place.

 

[Red Wimp]

Read somewhere profits to the Open Space society (or something like that).
I'm goibg to hazard a guess the charge is to cover stewarding etc and therefore not to park on common land

Hi Impalex
The road running through that part of the common is called Mallandry Close.
It is not shown on the modern day maps of Lincoln, but it is shown on the older maps of the City.
Probably the council have never heard of the Name of the Close or even that it ever existed.
But I've always thought it was common land and was for the free use of the public to walk on when they saw fit, except on the occasions the Circus or Fair was occupying it.

Minimum of 12 weeks mate bet they'll still be at fixing the bridge at Xmas if not later.

Remember a few years back the Newark Road bridge at Bracebridge went on for six months, often with nowt happening.

"Malandry Closes" is an area of land (not a road) which includes the fairground site. It takes its name from the maladerie - a leper hospital close by.
