Get 2 hours , she’s on there for 2 hours 12 minutes cameras get her £100 fine. having a quick scan online because it’s private land and not council and it’s not a fine it’s an invoice has she got a leg to stand on appealing it? £100 seems a bit excessive for 12 minutes Will a picture of her busters suffice? Busters for example I negotiated with Tesco (horwich) and they had the fine cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlebrook is now 6 hours free parking and given covid has fucked half of retail is unlikely to be rammers on match day anymore.

MancWanderer Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Been ‘caught’ twice. Mate who’s a legal executive advised not to ignore but to appeal. Hotel in Hudders - successful Tesco at Middlebrook (late for a Sunday game and thought be OK as store shut at 5) - unsuccessful but reduced cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 There's a lot of folk driving to games. I'd have jacked it in at some point during Coyle, Freedman, Lennon, Parky and Onion's reigns of terror if I couldn't get mindless pissed.

Easier than middlebrook Couldn't compare to the official car park as never parked on it Used to park at a mates house near beehive, and at st Joseph's You end up walking further back to your car and getting stuck in the same traffic Given it's mostly always pissing down, years of experience tells me Tesco is always the best bet Bear in mind I normally also turn up at 2.55 looking to park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was fine. Called in the store on Saturday and noticed that that was no more. Didn't take a chance and parked the other side of cnr as usual.

leef78 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I've had a few of these fines for one reason or another over the years.... here's my take. Unless its council land or the police who fine you Ive NEVER ever once paid one these private company fines, they tries to my MRs for over parking 4 minutes on Mattalan in Bury. I got done at Tescos in Horwich once, and the newish retail park in Rawtenstall a couple of years ago. They write to you every month or two with varying degrees of threats and in different gusies (basically paper shuffling to another desk in the same office that writes under a different debt recovery name). They use big bright yellow and red letters FINAL warning etc, we MAY prosecute etc. Fact is unless they send you a court summons (it usually costs them more than the fine to start one) don't bother responding, I find after around 3 years they give up. I was prepared to go to court and see if a judge thinks £100 for 4 minute overstay on sunday in an empty car park is 'reasonable'. So my advice until a court summons comes through (99.9% wont!) stick it in the bin. They can only go for CCJ's etc in a court and thats if you don't turn up. One of my fines started at £100 wen't up to £50 after 2 years, then down to £60 to settle immediatly, to final offer of £30. Most people are terrified by the wording and cough up, they make mllions off this. Also thoug, if the police or council fine you, just pay it if its your fault, they will take you to court and go for CCJs etc, bailifs.

Occasionally, one of the lines they sold was children’s dressing gowns adorned with one of about four big clubs. I think it was Liverpool, United, Arsenal or Chelsea. The badges and two-letter monogram were ironed onto the garment in the warehouse, often by MrsD. A ManU dressing gown? Certainly. Badge on upside down? Certainly!
