been here before Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Haven't driven through for a long, long time but thinking of maybe doing so on 24th. A few places mentioned on Google but has anyone any personal tips for the best places to park with easy access back onto the motorway? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRightPeg Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Village hotel opposite the Hydro. About a 10/15 minute walk to Ibrox from there. You can pay for parking in the hotel on a wee machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be seats available for Glasgow. Can put you in touch with a bus if you DM me? Otherwise you can normally park your car where the coaches park at the back of the Govan stand. Used to cost a fiver from memory . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex member of the SaS Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Just find a wee lad and give him a tenner to watch your car. Instantaneous combustion is rive through the west I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMJ_1874 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Download the app My parking space. Just looked and you can get parked at Givan cross Shopping centre for £4 if you exit before 5:30pm. 14 minute walk and you reserve your space before you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRightPeg Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 7 minutes ago, been here before said: 32 mins to walk... That isn't where I said though. I said the Village Hotel which is the other side of the river...closer to Ibrox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir PH Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 9 minutes ago, been here before said: 32 mins to walk... It won't be quite as long as 32 minutes. You're already this side of the river for Ibrox if leaving from the Village Hotel, as opposed to the other side if you were leaving from the Hydro.

Darren Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 My dad usually parks on or around Gower Street in Pollokshields. On-street parking but it's a quiet residential area. 20-minute walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Yep, the residential streets between Bellahouston Park and Dumbreck station should be OK. 15-20 min walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Torrance Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 On a tangent but reminded me, years ago I was on the buses and I used to regularly do the Edinburgh Loyal Rangers bus (before their team died obviously). Only knew the way they took me to Castle Greyskull. One weekend had to take Musselburgh Hearts to Ibrox. So took them the only route I knew, through the streets where the home buses parked. Rangers guys were stopping us on the way to ask if we had tickets. Musselburgh guys hiding under the seats. 😆 Got them to the game quicker than they'd ever managed before though.

SecN Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Are these car parks such as Asda, KFC more reliable and safer than just parking in the residential streets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be prepared to wait a while to get out after the game if you park at Asda Govan. You're also running the risk of a parking fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecN Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 That’s true. Most limited to 90mins now and Lidl possibly 60mins. What streets are close enough to avoid having to march for half an hour to the ground and also not be in a dodgy area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Street parking around Admiral Street usually ok ( off Paisley Rg W) or park at Shields Rd tube ; take your scarf off ; ignore the “banter” and get the tube to Ibroke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
