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. Decent shout, that, from what I can see on Google maps. Think I've found a street nearby that fits the bill... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to encounter a fellow-wanderer. I have ticked off all the Scottish grounds some time ago, with about half-a-dozen left of the English ones. Here was my Turf Moor visit, which you may (or may not) find of interest: http://ian38018.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-06-10T11%3A35%3A00%2B01%3A00&max-results=1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's alright, I've got an Alsatian in there... Oh, right, mister....puts out fires, does he?! There's a variation on that one from the Edinburgh gent who went to Ibrox with his 4 x 4. When asked the usual question from the kids he points to a slavering rotweiller sitting up in the front seat. "Brutus will keep an eye on it for me," he explains. "Haw mister", shouts a kid, as he walks away, "Can Brutus blaw up tyres?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. They've added bus lanes heading towards Paisley now as well as the eastbound one and double yellow lined that bit of road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were really poor that season...that game gave us false hope for the 2010-11 season...Thanks for sharing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnseytheclaret Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 I think we'll go for the rugby club area option, as we're heading down the M74 afterwards. Hopefully that'll be a good shout! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 You could park just off London Road. It is a pleasant walk from there, and you can generally find a friendly local willing to look after your car for you. I'd wondered about that. Only ever encountered it at Celtic and Rangers but not driven to either in ages (and generally don't go) - is it still a thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnseytheclaret Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Doubt we'll be at a match any time soon, sadly. Thanks to all for their help, though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
