    Parking

    Please don't think I'm whining about MES. I love the place. I have never enjoyed a game we've lost so much as I did from my beloved seat in E13 last night. But honestly. I would have enjoyed the FULL 80 minutes if Dad and I hadn't been driving round for a half-hour trying to find a park within a km of the ground. Is there a secret parking spot the country bums don't get told about or is the only way to get there by train? And does anyone know anything about the Volvo parking from last year being brought to MES with them?

    Mrs Jargs parked in East Perth, just on the other side of Claisebrook station. We were early-ish, but seemed pretty easy to find somewhere- free too!

    The parking on the other side of the ugly brown Westrail/Transperth building (alongside East Parade) at East Perth Terminal is good for parking. People I work with park there all day at no cost then walk to work. From there to MES is 10-15 mins walk.

    Be extra careful with that. A relo of ours used one if our spare tickets last night and met us there. He'd been warned about residents only parking around MEBS and replied "yeah, yeah..know all about that I work there every day". His free seat cost him $85 for not displaying a valid permit to park

    Be carefull with street parking around the ground, most of it you need a residential permit to park there as demonstrated by big yellow signs in the affected streets. From what I saw as we were making our way back to the car, not alot of people noticed those signs

    This is true Coach

    Also

    I do have access to a couple of car bays just one street behind stadium. PM me if you want to arrange access to one.

    And

    Those that only paid $10 for the bus this week will need to re book each match. You will only have a seat resevred if you pay for the whole season.

    Heaps of parking around Newcastle street. It seems to be that if you just go 10 minutes' walk away from the ground, there's little trouble.

    Saw alot of people parking on Beaufort St, even up near the Queens plenty of car parks there, though some are pay to park, then wandering down to the game. Apparently the traffic was pretty bad even up to Walcott St so may be worth stopping for a drink on the way home before, before trying to get out.
