barnseytheclaret Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Hi! Neutral supporter here hoping to visit Ibrox for a game in the coming season. Looking for recommendations for where's best / safest to park. Ideally good for a quick getaway, as will have a four hour journey with three kids ahead of me afterwards! Thanks in advance...Super Scotty Arfield! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, speaking of Paisley, stay on the M8 for a few more miles, get off at J29 and come to St. Mirren Park instead. Your children will be spared the shock of hearing grown men shouting that they want to fornicate with The Pontiff. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's a ballot for STHs only, the club are awaiting a decision from the council as to how many will be allowed to attend. Anyway, Ibrox. The bit I've highlighted in yellow is where I have previously parked but, as I said, you have to get there really early.

Empty It Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Can only recommend taking kids to anywhere but Ibrox and Parkhead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to get there a couple of hours before a game, so that sounds perfect. Pretty safe spot, would you say? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Depending on whether we are back to full capacity, unfortunately making a swift exit from round about Ibrox isn't always the easiest. There will be plenty of parking available round about the stadium if you are arriving a couple of hours before kick off though. To the east of the image attached above, slightly to the right of The Louden there is a decent sized industrial estate that you will get parked in no problem, but this comes with the problem that all the supporters busses park here and it gets very congested after the match. The part I've circled to the north of the stadium is probably where I'd suggest as it is mainly cars that park there and can be a bit quicker to empty. You also have the options of leaving to the East towards the squinty bridge which will take you into the city centre or you can head South West and join the motorway shortly passed the Asda. Either way, I'd be prepared to have a bit of a wait in all honesty. Edited July 19, 2021 by AJF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the way back to avoid crowds, walk down to Cessnock and get the subway back to Cowcaddens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 If you don't mind a walk, I've started parking at Cartha Queen's Park RFC when we visit Ibrox. It's a 20 minute walk but you get straight onto M77 afterwards. You'll easily sit in your car for 20 mins if you are parked too close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
