Mic09 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Hi guys, first time I'm driving into VP. What is the best (easiest to get out of) place to park around VP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I don’t know specifics where to park, but just don’t park too close or you’ll never get away afterwards. I see all the cars jammed up and getting frustrated after the game as I walk past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best (easiest to get out of) place to park around VP? Not sure there is an easy place to park to get out in a reasonable time anymore. I drive to every game and tried loads of places. It depends how far you are willing to walk as well because you can park at Star City or closer at the PowerLeague or closer by the police station where there are a few places to park. Seems further away the better but also depends where you get stuck in the car park you choose as you could get stuck behind somebody.

rodders0223 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Starcity. It's free. There's always loads of spaces. It's a half hour walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've left a car there for hours and hours. There are a few streets around there where people park too. I personally wouldn't risk it but not seen any trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Power league car park, it’s a good 20 min walk though but after the game you are walking clear of the traffic and get away fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's oddly satisfying to see the jams after the game from people who simply have to park as close to the stadium as possible. Obviously there are some folk with mobility issues but the overwhelming majority people responsible for causing gridlock could totally avoid it if they weren't so lazy. Dunno where @Mic09 is coming from, but if it's from the motorway side of the stadium then you absolutely want to be parking on the far side of the junction of Aston Hall Road and Lichfield Road. That spot is such a bottleneck it's ridiculous. Others have already suggested Power League and Star City and I echo those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a weird view on the situation! People want to park near an event they are going to, how dare they! People should start parking miles away from their work places, the shops they intend to visit and in no way should they park within a mile of their own home, the lazy buggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They park right next to the stadium. Then when they move 1 mile in half hour lose their shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current situation is stupid. I drive because one of my family members has mobility issues so if more people parked further away it would be better for me so I’m actually arguing against my own interests. I can’t think of a circumstance outside of football where anybody would be happy moving at one mile an hour driving from anywhere so I don’t see why it’s acceptable at football.

Wainy316 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Power League is not that much closer than Star City but costs £8 so I plump for the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
