New parking restrictions around Tannadice on match days.

Buses are still getting to park on Neish St.

That's great then, buses full of pished folk right at the ground. Disabled fans, Provie Road. ��

That's me at the parking. At 13:30; Sandeman Street, full. North Isla Street, full. So, yeah, I'm in the Provie Road which is filling up fast. Pishing rain too. ☹️

Get a complaint in mate. That's absolute nonsense.

I think it's clear from their actions DCC do not want disabled fans to attend matches at Tannadice or Dens. I can't see how the current shambles can be read any other way.

Honestly, if this isn't sorted then I'll be out permanently. Can't be arsed with what I had to endure today. ��

I spoke with the person at Tannadice who deals with disabled fans and they said the same, which I will. However, if this isn't sorted out I'll be chucking it. I can take anything from a football perspective, that really doesn't bother me. But this? I feel so low about it tonight, depressing.

It's a disgrace. And it needs sorting out. Hopefully common sense prevails. Disabled parking should always take preference and close to the stadium.

My experience of yesterday.

I went early as it was the first match with the new arrangements. I came in Arklay Street via Cleppington Road.

As I have said the blue badge provision in Sandeman Street and North Isla Street were both full at this point, about 13:30.

I made my way to Provost Road and was the fourth car in the disabled section, facing down the street towards Dens Road. At that time if was filling up quite fast.

The slope of Provost Road made it much more difficult for me to maneuver around my car and also use the hoist to get my electric wheelchair from the boot.

There are no dropped kerbs in this section of the street meaning once I had my chair out I had to go head long into the, really quite busy, traffic to make my way to the junction of Provost Road and Sandeman Street to get a dropped kerb and onto a path.

Taking my chair out of the car and then having to go against busy traffic was very scary. I regularly have falls and the thought of it happening on an open and busy road is quite terrifying.

All this to be parked quite a distance from where I actually wanted to go.

Previously I would park in North Isla Street with the only traffic on it being other blue badge holders parking their cars. Not having a dropped kerb wasn't an issue as it was safe to stay on the road (as it was closed).

Honestly, I've never felt so discriminated against in my life. The fact this is being done by the local authority makes it even more galling.

Of course I will report all this back but, honestly, I'm not holding my breath for a sensible or quick solution.

Do united still use the school for hospitality customers car parking ??
Never quite understood it as people going to hospitality 99% will be drinking and united encouraged them to drive by offering parking.
If this is still the case can the disabled fans be given the school to park instead and hospitality customers get provost road ?
Can't remember the name of the school but it's close to the ground

It's dens Road primary.
Not sure if it's still offered to hospitality customers though

Nope. The official corporate parking is up at Dens.
