city4eva 209 Posted March 3, 2020 Going on coach tomorrow (vowed not to again , the last time was a disaster , arriving just in time for kick off (got lost) and breaking down on way home) is there any parking at carrow rd or nearby , what time do i need to get to carrow rd for 2.30 departure, last time got there about 15 minutes before and I think most coaches had gone.

FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted March 3, 2020 I haven’t been on cabbage for a few years, the club advise parking on lower Clarence road ( £7 ) as the club car park will fill up very quickly 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daly 501 Posted March 3, 2020 Don’t park on the Holiday Inn Area you’ll get ticketed 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
not a clue 19 Posted March 3, 2020 I booked a spot at Lower Clarence (RPC) £7 for all day as the club suggested. Apparently there is a big “do” at CR tomorrow and they need a lot of car parking. Let’s hope the coaches leave on time and don’t break down. It should be quite a sight - 23(?) in convoy - wish I could see it, but then I’ll be on one!😀 Perhaps more important let’s hope for a win⚽️👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted March 3, 2020 Is parking at Clarence road car park literally for 24 hours for £7 ? I’m just wondering if when it gets to midnight you would get charged for a second day ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted March 3, 2020 Just found this on the rcp website Ticket expiry times: All Day tickets expire at 23:59 for the day applicable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city4eva 209 Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) There’s me thinking I had it sussed till you mentioned the expiry time. I just did a dummy booking and it does indeed say it expires at midnight..does that mean paying an extra £7 for an hour or 2 looks to me like it may be worth booking the next day as well to make sure you don’t get ticketed Edited March 3, 2020 by city4eva Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got on the other coach that stopped, I asked the steward how he was going to choose 9 people to change buses and he just said go for it if you want, so I did, with my son. When we left we still had 3 spare seats... That wasnt the end of the saga though. First he stopped at Stansted for 20 minutes! then got lost on the diversion around the closed A11. I was walking along carrow rd when your replacement bus pulled up so we ended up getting back at the same time. I guess that means you waited about 20 mins /half hour for the replacement coach?

Yeah that’s right, our driver got on the working coach and brought us home leaving the replacement driver with the broken down one, he wasn’t happy. When we got to the A11 diversion we cut through a few villages which is probably where we caught you up, good job we won as it makes it easier to laugh it off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
