kingsway 94 Posted August 8, 2017 Wonder why its an extortionate £8!!Whos got the lease?My train tickets less than that so why drive and pay a ridiculous fee to sit in a traffic jam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrow89 0 Posted August 8, 2017 Does that ticket cover four people ? Does it take you to places that the train doesn''t go to ie Dereham Swaffham, Holt, Fakenham, Aylsham etc ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodman 92 Posted August 9, 2017 Afternoon games: Castle Mall is £3.70 (2-3hrs) or £5.00 (3-4 hrs). Chapelfield is £3.90 (2-3hrs) or £5.20 (3-4hrs).Evening games: Castle Mall is £1.50 after 6pm. Chapelfield is £2.50 after 3pm.The new-ish Rose Lane one is £5.10 up to 3hrs and 5.90 up to 4hrs or £2 after 6.30pm.So, all of them are cheaper than County Hall!

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted August 9, 2017 I park on Whittlingham Lane in Trowse. A one mile walk but no problems getting away after the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,013 Posted August 9, 2017 I stopped using CH about 3 seasons ago now. £8 parking a game is insane, for £1 more I can get a bus that takes me from the bus stop which is a 15 min walk from my front door to Carrow Road. Use it as my group has a couple of olds not keen on long walks.If I was to drive there is loads of parking available around the £5 max mark in Norwich itself.

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted August 9, 2017 The problem we have is coming in from the Lowestoft Way & parking anywhere other than County Hall is you have to wait for County Hall to clear to get back out of the city. Coming in from Yarmouth gives you a lot more options to park - Cotswold Company on Riverside Road for an evening game is £5 and can get you on the Ring Road pretty quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 0 Posted August 9, 2017 Norwich Lions car park is opposite County Hall and half the price, and goes to a good cause! Just don''t turn down the road and go the wrong way down the one way street like I did last year and got caught by a rozzer! That was £54 to park that day!

Diane 498 Posted August 9, 2017 There''s at least 4/5 Lion''s charity car parks around the ground which are £4 but you need to be there by 1pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
