Re: Grand Final "Parking"

[From the dug out]

A know that alot of us are going down by bus or train!

However,

If you are driving down, remember that Australia are playing India in a day/nighter at the SCG on the 24th as well. Their match starts at 2:15pm. They will be in before us and we possibly should get out before them, thats is as long as their match goes the distance.

Parking might be tuff, expect the unexpected.

If anyone knows of some places down there where i may be able to park and is not far from the stadium  can u please let me know  as i will be driving down but  especially if we play the scum  parking should be a nightmare

Fox studios will be full, Moore Park a disaster, the Girls School full - give up! 

If you have to drive park well away and catch a bus .... down near Central Station and catch the special buses from Chalmers Street

 

[Ursus]

Hornsby station.

 

[Mariner Girl]

Absolutely no way am I drinking ANYWHERE near that place! I'ts a sh*t flight at the quietest of times.

I'll be driving to Rockdale station and meet up with everyone at the KB to soak it all up. Have to go to work on Monday so can't come up to Gosford for the post-match, but this will be the next best thing. 

 

[Blackadder]

If you really must drive to the game prehaps Goulburn St Car Park, or Randwick racecourse?

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I'm going to be stuck driving the family down *dammit*
It's not going to be pretty...

 

[FFC Mariner]

Gordon Station or try around St Leonards.

Even the side streets in S Hills will be a nightmare so I wouldnt be taking the car over the bridge TBH.

 

[striker]

just a suggestion: park at qvb -york st car park (sunday flat rate $15.00) and catch a bus down anzac parade.

 

[mariners4ever]

well me and my parents are driving down to moore park  due to my dad not being able to walk very far and hates crowded buses   

 

[kepo]

U should go into there by bus or train,
but if it must be car.

DO NOT PARK IN THE SCG ONE. Otherwise u will be there all night.

Park in the Sydney Boys High School Behind the SCG. It is so much easier to get out.
We park there every home sydney game. Good spot. $15 but worth it....  ;D

Central Buses go to and from the stadium pre an post match.

Good luck boys

 

[Aden]

i have to be driving the family down cuz i have sick family members but i have a disabled sticker  on the car which will let me get disabled parking.  would it still be a stupid move to prk in the SCG car park even if i can get a disabled car park  due to  after the game having to get out of there etc  etc

I generally park around Artarmon, it's deserted on Sundays and free parking everywhere.

Also remember that the QE2 and Queen Victoria are coming into the harbour on Sunday arvo. The last time this happened, transport was a shambles everywhere. So maybe another option would be to park around Strathfield or any other mainline station and steer clear of the Harbour altogether.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

You've got to be shitting me...........

 

[Blackadder]

Could always try around Haymarket @ Paddys Market, Entertainment Centre or the streets around there.

 

[Omni]

Or better yet, take public transport, don't want drunk drivers on the roads!

 

[greenpoint]

One of my workmates supports Sydney FC and he always parks at Centennial Park for Sydney FC's afternoon matches. He reckons parking there is free and it's only about 5-10 minutes walk to the SFS. Just be aware that the park gates usually close at sunset.

With all the cricket fans at the SCG, though, there may not be many spaces available at Centennial Park either.
