GordonC Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 For the first time due to work I will be driving to the game. My seat is in the West stand. Anybody got suggestions on where best to park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrne2711 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Bumping this. Driving back straight after game to Somerset so looking for a decent place to park that doesn't take hours to get out of. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChorleyFM Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Normally park on Prospecthill Road which is just after coming through Rutherglen towards Hampden. Bit of a wait til traffic clears after the game but not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 We park a bit further up from asda,past the indoor place,(rutherglen)? Normally get out of the housing estate easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernscum Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I normally park off Polmadie road. 15 min stroll to the stadium, then when i get back to the car i am usually on the motorway within 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorryLoon Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Do they still use the field on Queen Park area on match days, one on Queens Drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandydon Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Surprised there hasn't been any travel advice issued by the SFA and the police - no mention of trains being dry either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving back straight after game to Somerset so looking for a decent place to park that doesn't take hours to get out of. Cheers Park on Carmunnock Road (or one of the streets leading off it) up by the Territorial Army building - should be a breeze getting away - head up to Carmunnock, nip over Cathkin Braes, up to EK and then join the M74 at Hamilton (therefore skipping the queues to join 74 at Polmadie) - I live in the area and always use this route when heading south.

scottincarlisle Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 If we are not staying overnight we park Menock Rd area. Anything closer is restricted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wigtownshire-Matt Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Used Queens Park Recreation Ground for the Northern Ireland game. Went back to use on the Sunday for the Gibraltar game and it was closed. Going to try again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye agree with this. This is where I used to park (make sure your car is facing southbound on Carmunnock Road). Used to be able to get back to Larkhall in around 30-40 minutes even during sell outs. Route is easy as noted above B759/A749/A725/M74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peeheed Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 So where's the best place to park if driving from Edinburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 So where's the best place to park if driving from Edinburgh Park somewhere over the other side of Queen`s Park from the stadium and head out Nithsdale Road/Dumbreck Road and back onto the M8 from there.

northernscum Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Having parked where I mentioned earlier in this thread... Jessie Street, just off Polmadie road in an industrial estate, I landed a parking ticket last night. I have parked here for the last half a dozen Hampden games without any issue, no yellow lines, no signs. Anyone think this is worth arguing the toss over? Any chancer firms out there pretending to be genuine parking enforcement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Any chancer firms out there pretending to be genuine parking enforcement? We parked up Menock Rd way but noticed about half a dozen 'officers' in green uniforms about as we walked to the Beechwood pub. Menock Rd & Kings Park Ave were fine.

Charlie Endell Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I think they create a 'ring' around Hampden where it's a no go for parking unless you're a resident - not totally sure about Scotland games but it was definitely in place for the Commonwealth Games.
