Parking at Sainsburys
Does anyone know if you can safely park at Sainsburys for a night match?
I'm down for the Wolves game and usually prepay to park there, but do I really need to?

You need to be very careful with supermarket car parks, many of them are run by external companies.

Re: Parking at Sainsburys
Had to nip into TK Maxx the other day and noticed the signs there saying 3hrs parking which if you got there at 7:15 would mean you had until 10:15 to get back and get out

I use Sainsbury’s on a match day. Use the Horizon parking app and it costs about £3 for 4/5 hours.

Re: Parking at Sainsburys
Try thr justpark app, they may well have Sainsburys car park on there so you can prebook it for longer for a small fee

Re: Parking at Sainsburys
I always wonder about these threads about parking- some people have a great, often what they would class as their 'secret parking spot' and whether or not they fear that being occupied one day when a "Found a great parking place" thread starts and it's their place

Re: Parking at Sainsburys
I share ClaretTony's concerns about using supermarket car parks. Maybe nip in and buy something cheap, a sandwich, chewing gum, drink for the journey back, anything. They can't give you a fine if you're a paying customer and leaving the car park within the allocated time frame.
Re: Parking at Sainsburys
It doesn't matter if you purchase or not. The only criteria for the parking management is the time allowed. 2 or 3 hours. ANPR does the rest.ArmchairDetective wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 11:51 amI share ClaretTony's concerns about using supermarket car parks.

Re: Parking at Sainsburys
I'd be wary parking on TK Maxx car park for a night match as I think the 3 hours free parking only applies during TK Maxx and Home Bargains opening hours (they close 7 or 8pm ) so chances are you'd receive a PCN from the parasite 3rd party parking company if you were parked there later than those hours.
There is also a sign saying 'no matchday parking' but not sure how they police it on a Saturday lunchtime or 3pm ko as there will surely be non match going shoppers parking there during those times as well.
Re: Parking at Sainsburys
I had no idea that you could pay directly to park on Sainsburys. I don't need it for matchday parking, but this is useful for work reasons. Cheers!
