£100 parking fine from Oxford last Tuesday 19:11 - Jan 21 with 4617 views | Keaneish | Anyone else ditch their car in the Hilton car park and receive a fine? Apparently it's not accessible to football fans. Given the inadequate parking facilities (and by that i mean there were none) i've asked Oxford United to pay the bill. If you received a fine you can tap an email on to mine to help the cause; wishful thinking maybe... [Post edited 21 Jan 2020 19:27]

Worth a shot. I thought they only had three stands to make sure they had enough car parking facilities! | |

Ha. Me too. From the station. Lost my phone on the journey too. Fortunately, it was handed into the police - so I was back in Oxford last night to pick it up. ðŸ‘🻠| |

Did you lock your folding bike up to the big lampost in the car park? There weren't many bike-friendly spots were there? I saw a Brompton(?) when I locked mine, but it was gone by the time I got out of the ground. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Yes. That was mine. I left a bit early to beat the crowds. Having lost my phone I had no map to navigate me back to the station so thought I should give myself a bit of extra time. Foul weather, wasn’t it? 😂 | |

It was the resident that clamped it for safekeeping! Source: This joke was brought to you by 1988. | | | |

I took shelter in a local pub after the match. The locals insisted they were the better team. I think the weather was the winner! | | | |

Hard to say. I could barely see out of the windscreen for the rain. As it’s the Hilton I imagine they would have given the frequency of games there but whether they own the car park or whether It’s council owned, I’m not sure. I’ll look into it. | |

A "parking charge notice" will be contractual by a parking company and has to be based on signage which makes terms of the contract clear. | |

Back in Premier season a scouse mate of mine joined me for the game at Goodison. Parked in a side street and a local little urchin cane out. "Fiver to look after your car mate?" he enquired. My mate being local had the perfect response. "Its alright thanks mate, we've got a rottweiler in the car" The kid comes straight back with, "Put out fires does he?" | |

I parked in a side street for an England game at Anfield and no-one asked me for money, when we walked back to the car there were a few with smashed windscreens and we were fearing the worst, some little urchin came out and said "Bet you are glad you gave us that £5er now..."! I would have given it to them as knew that it would have been easier, but got lucky that time | |

The only place I’ve been asked for money to mind the car was in Birmingham when Burley was manager. I think it was the first game after Sir Alf died, early May 1999. [Post edited 22 Jan 2020 10:40]

Sorry my freind, assuming you mean this car park for Hampton by Hilton just behind the ground https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.7167354,-1.2110508,3a,16.5y,104.29h,87.29t/dat Looks like they have pretty clear signage all over the place. Sadly I doubt that they would take the viewing conditions into account. | |
