Thread: New parking restrictions around Tannadice on match days.

  1. #1

    New parking restrictions around Tannadice on match days.

    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.

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

    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. 😡
