[Albion] Match Day parking at Wilde Park

[brightonbaz]

Evening all,

No longer have a parking permit for Coldean and looking for alternatives. Does anyone use Wilde Park on a match day? If so are there any restrictions which I should know about?

Any spaces near the Palace Pier?

Seems to be ok in the summer if you have a caravan

Free parking is available there but fills up fast. There are no restrictions and it’s either a 20 min walk or can jump on a bus to the stadium (run every 5mins or so along Lewes road)

It fills up quick so you`d need to arrive 2 hours before kick off to guarantee getting a space.

Turn up in a caravan and just dump it wherever you like. No ticket, no clamping, time to watch the game and back before ineffective Brighton council give you the desired paperwork.

Have a mate that parks in Stanmer Park for every match. It's pay and display now so as long as the car is properly parked and paid for it's not a problem (for them at any rate). I'd have thought stewards would be at the entrance stopping football parking but doesn't appear so.

Is that close to Fulmer?

Knowing this particular mate I could imagine they probably don't tell the full truth to the stewards.

I drove past Wild park just over a couple of hours before kick off on New Year’s Eve and it didn’t look like there was much if any space left then.

The stewards on the way into the uni car parks seemed to have moved to nearly the entrance of the first car park, so there wouldn’t have been any problem getting into Stanmer park.

How do they differentiate park users from football supporters using the parking ?

Good question and I don't know the answer. Imagine if you've a car full of blokes in football shirts they might guess you're going to the match but other than that?

Just do it and if they give you any bother just go in the swings for 10 minutes.

Have no idea how the differentiated us, but, I've parked there since mid-way through last season, and the last couple of games I've had a warning slapped on my car so I think there is going to be an imminent clamp (hopefully not literally) down on football parking. Additionally, seems to be less of a well-kept secret now, and you need to be there at least two hours prior to kick off to get a space.

Not an answer but isn’t the max stay 4 hours making it a bit tight if you need to get there early to get a space?
