Went to ground to pick up a ticket I'd ordered. Cricket was on so I couldn't park in the car park. Students had gone home so there were no residents in houses round about. I nipped into the office and when I got back to car warden was preparing ticket. Total time - 4 minutes. I argued that I was not parking - just picking up - but Jobsworth gave me a fine! Crazy!

Did you not notice the yellow lines and parking signs around there?


thought so

Was your car parked or not?



Your car was parked illegally. You deserved a fine.

There are no yellow lines. It does say 'Residents only', but I was literally picking a ticket up. Houses are empty - no residents there!

Are you a resident? Were you parked in a residents only area?

how do you know there not?

So where can we park when the car parks are closed? I am merely warning people that are getting fines. Are you a parking attendant by any chance?

Cos it's all student housing and they've gone away for summer

not near the ground when there is an event on

any person who goes to Headingley often enough knows there is restricted parking around St Michaels Lane to residents only

no they havent

In specified parking areas.

Not true.
