    Went to use the toilet there before the match yesterday and noticed it said free 1.5 hour parking on match days.

    Obviously be away from car for more than 1.5 hours so do they give you tickets?

    they recycle them marra so you’ll see it next time you buy some beans!

    I have no idea if you get a ticket. Wouldn’t take the chance. Parking real bad over there now? I just walk from my mothers or cousins so no issues.

    I seen few spaces around the SOL but said permit only so parked in an alleyway next to that red burger van which was also permit only but didn't get a ticket.

    Was loads of empty spaces in Tesco though and not that far of a walk.

    I just park in Roker, not a million miles away and it’s easy to get out.

    I had to come in a different way this time due to the testos roundabout being closed as come via the tyne tunnel.

    Anybody know how long that would be closed for and if it would make it a pain to get to Doxford park?

    Been offered a position over that way but unsure to take it if will be a pain in the arse with traffic in the morning.

    There are ANPR cameras on Tesco. If you stay over, you'll get a ticket in the post. There's a terminal out the back where I have to put my reg in if I'm going to be working longer in stores so I don't get a ticket.

    Yea I noticed it said they had ANPR cameras there but also a sign saying free 1.5 hour parking for match days.

    Makes me think is it a trap? As would obviously be away from the car for more than 1.5 hours considering the match is 90 minutes without half time, walking over and back etc.

    This terminal you mention... :emoticon-0105-wink:
    Would it work with my reg? <laugh>

    It is a trap! It's normally three or four hours at that store but they cut the time on match days to stop supporters parking there.

    The uni is £2.50 if you don't mind a walk.

    My middle son lives near the uni so I park outside his for free now :D

    The cheeky sods! I had a feeling it would be a trap like. I wonder if say I go in buy a bottle of pop go to match then go back in buy another bottle of pop I could dispute the ticket if I got sent one?

    Be like well I was shopping not just using it for the match...

    I head North when I leave so it's a drive up the coast to Whitburn and then through Cleadon to the tunnel. Easy
