A RESIDENT living in the shadows of one of the most sacred football stadiums has shared her agonising parking experience, saying it is "really hard on match days". <\/p>\n
For the past eight years, Caroline has been living opposite the towering main stand of Crystal Palace FC's stadium, and the inconvenience she faces on match days is incomparable.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
She says the street where she lives – Holmesdale Road – sees the most footfall on match days with thousands of fans lining up on the road to get in and out of the ground.<\/p>\n
And to make things smooth, Croydon\u00a0Council requires residents at the top of the road to move their cars for the duration of the matches – or face a parking ticket.<\/p>\n
But this has turned out to become a huge nightmare for the residents of the street. <\/p>\n
Caroline says it gets really difficult to park on match days – and she even gets parking tickets on top of it.<\/p>\n
After removing her car from the busy street on a match day, she says she has to find a new spot to park her car – and it gets really inconvenient. <\/p>\n And what is usually a 15-minute routine apparently becomes a two-hour nightmare. <\/p>\n Caroline reportedly told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS): \u201cIt\u2019s really hard to park on match days. I get annoyed that I get parking tickets.<\/p>\n "They tell us there\u2019s a game coming up with two days' notice.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Six months ago I got a ticket once despite asking if it was okay to leave the car there for half an hour, and they said it was fine. <\/p>\n "But I got a ticket for \u00a365. the council said they wouldn\u2019t help me. <\/p>\n "They washed their hands of it."<\/p>\n Another resident of the area, Osama, said: "They make you move the cars, and around the corner, you used to be able to park on both sides. <\/p>\n "For some reason, they have just stopped that. Now it's only on certain parts of the road and if you park in the wrong area you get a ticket, which I think is just silly."<\/p>\n Most of the residents living on the street complain about the short notices that are given to them before they need to remove their cars – and it is generally just a day before a big match. <\/p>\n Crystal Palace recently announced a long-awaited development of the main stand is set, with works likely to begin next year. <\/p>\n The expansion will see the stadium\u2019s capacity increase from 26,000 to 34,000. <\/p>\n This will further increase the problems of overcrowding in the area, especially on Holmesdale Road. <\/p>\n While residents have been really annoyed because of the consequences of such big crowds entering and exiting the arena, most of them have a positive outlook on the stadium – and unsurprisingly support Crystal FC. <\/p>\n The Sun has approached Selhurst Park Stadium for a comment on the matter. <\/p>\n<\/picture>MARC TWO <\/span><\/p>\n
