Alternatively, you could go by bus, £4 return. Departs Dolphin Centre at 6.40pm followed by a pick-up at Cockerton Library. Seats need to be reserved in advance, at least 24 hours in advance to ensure we have the right sized vehicle to meet demand.quakerray wrote:just been in the march hare and saw that a fair grounds setting up on the match day car park there, starting wednesday till saturday.

To reserve your seat text 07808 900031, or call the club shop on 07717 345004 during shop hours or pop in. Make sure you leave a contact number and pick-up point.
You don't need to pay in advance, but we'll hunt you down if you don't show!!!!!

i was just making people aware, incase they turn up thinking they can park there on wednesday
Re: the car parking on wednesday night
The bus from Darlington is no good for me either.
A bit annoyed at this as I bought a season ticket for the car park so that I didn't have to park in supermarket car parks, McDonalds etc.
There doesn't seem to be anything on the official website either. Do DFC actually know that the official car park won't be available?

Claud the steward was informing people last Wednesday when you drove into the main carpark that beacause of the fair we would have to park in the overflow carpark for the Shildon game .

Or park your sledge somewhere, is there any chance the game will be on with the snow in the region at the moment?
COME ON DARLO!
Re: the car parking on wednesday night

Re: the car parking on wednesday night
I'm sure it won't matter that much as the game will most likely be called off anyway lol
Come on Darlo!

Re: the car parking on wednesday night
Just been to The March Hare myself and plenty more rides have turned up. The whole car park will be out of action.quakerray wrote:at the moment there was only 2 or 3 rides getting set up,im guessing more will come tomorrow.i work nearby herritage park so will see tomorrow
Dont think those who have bought parking passes will be pleased about that. Guessing that this has been arranged for a while so has anyone with a parking pass been told where they will accomodated?

Must be a hardy lot in Bishop to think about fairground rides in this weather.

If people don't know where to park, it is just as quick parking on the industrial estate, around the corner from HP. It is about the same distance to walk from there to the ground plus you don't have to wait for ages to get out of there after the games has finished.

I think it's more the fact that people have paid for dedicated parking and they won't be getting that to be honest.DTID wrote:If people don't know where to park, it is just as quick parking on the industrial estate, around the corner from HP.

FFS get in the real world! The volunteers at the club did a great job sorting the additional parking arrangements, especially given the timescale constraints when we backed out of sharing with Shildon.Hilly wrote:I think it's more the fact that people have paid for dedicated parking and they won't be getting that to be honest.DTID wrote:If people don't know where to park, it is just as quick parking on the industrial estate, around the corner from HP.

I paid for a parking spot but I'm more than capable of driving to Tescos or the nearby industrial estate.
Chill out the world will keep spinning.

I know exactly how hard they worked. I was involved (still am slightly) with certain initiatives. Unfortunately these things still need thinking about. We can't keep relying on the good nature of people when things like this happen - at some point we need to start nipping things like this in the bud.
Of course the club could have all this in hand.

Re: the car parking on wednesday night
Just been confirmed on Twitter that no alternative arrangements are officially in place for Car Park C tonight - so I guess it's just park where you can. I believe Tescos don't care, but Sainsburys could be a problem?
