New parking restrictions around Tannadice on match days.

[TerryTheTerror]

In case anyone has missed this. It's a real pain in the arse getting parked in North Isla Street as it is (reserved for blue badge holders). I guess we'll see. 🤔

Its been a bit of a pain in the erse for residents for years!

Ive seen mention of how detrimental this could be to the numbers attending matches, but this is no different to the restrictions that have been in place for a number of years, its just there are no cones laid out and the boundaries are marked with signs. Ive recently been to Hampden where the same restrictions are in place, and i believe Easter Road has a similar area.

I do though think that DCC could have looked into providing some form of off street parking to assist on match days, and going back to the Blue Badge holders, there should be proper facilities between both grounds where supporters from home and away can book as part of their arrangements to enable their attendance.

About time, but more could be done.

A couple of things. I'm sure it is a pain in the arse for anyone living near the grounds but United have played there since 1909 and before that, the ground was still there being used by Dundee Wanderers. The other thing is, I don't think there is enough blue badge parking capacity. I guess time will tell but bear in mind it's for home and away fans to use.

If you read the new parking rules they are actually reducing the capacity for disabled fans in North Isla Street as it's only the East side of the street that's allocated, previously both sides have been used.

What kind of funster esq defence is "played there since 1909"? Technically, United has had 4 owners since i moved here, and god knows how many times that funny lot have changed hands, but adminsx2, so extending your logic, i claim an entitlement to the longer tenancy! Still a few cling on that have been here longer than i with Bow being the only apparent constant at United in that time, but has he been employed by the club continually since he stopped playing? And i know what you will say about moving here, but really?

I dont understand why you are pointing out to me that Disabled Parking Capacity is being reduced having written in the post you quoted.....

"going back to the Blue Badge holders, there should be proper facilities between both grounds where supporters from home and away can book as part of their arrangements to enable their attendance.

....unless you didnt bother reading it! But if you want to make the case, message me and i will give you the Councillors i pestered to request the permit scheme!

But like Stoke mentioned, there will be some spare ground available in twenty-never!

Fair enough, sounds like you live close by which must be a right pain in the arse. The point I'm making is you (or whoever) moved there knowing fine well the football clubs have been there long before you.

Regardless, you think it's right the result of the council intervention is that folk, like me, that struggle to get around may now have to park large distances from the grounds on match days?

I've actually just been passed. Looks like disabled spaces are limited to around 10 cars mate.

Why do they have to go and complicate everything these days???

Yeah, think it's going to be a right pain to be honest. Previously if I couldn't get in the top part of North Isla Street I'd park on the double yellow lines near the school but that isn't going to be an option now.

Oh, and if anyone from the council is looking can you please lower the kerbs at disabled spaces in the city centre? I end up having to run the gauntlet of moving cards in my chair to get to somewhere that the kerb is lowered just to get on a path. Absolutely crazy and dangerous. 😡

Not sure my BMW X1 would fit there.🤔😂
