Car Parking at Manchester Velodrome
With effect from August 2003, the City of Manchester Stadium will become the home of Manchester City FC. The combined effect of fans arriving to attend a home match, together with shoppers arriving at the Asda Walmart Superstore, will inevitably mean that there will be considerable congestion on the roads around the Velodrome. The Velodrome's car parks will be in great demand at these times and it is proposed that a parking fee of £5 per car will be introduced for the five hour period when a home match is taking place. This five hour period will commence three hours prior to kick off.

The Velodrome has not previously applied a parking fee for users of the Velodrome and this practice will continue. However, to prevent any misuse, we will need to implement the following procedures;

Due to the anticipated difficulty of segregating football traffic from customers of the Velodrome, we will have no choice but to apply the £5 fee to all vehicles arriving on site. This will include track riders and any other customer of the Velodrome.

Car Park 10 (formerly car park D, by the Main Reception) will be reserved for Velodrome customers and staff. Access to this car park will be restricted and drivers will have to provide their details to the attendant controlling the temporary barrier. At this stage, we do not intend to ask Velodrome customers for details of everyone attending a Velodrome activity and it should be sufficient to state the session they are attending. However, if there is evidence of significant abuse (e.g. more cars in car park 10 than we have customers in the building), we may have to start asking clubs/organisations to supply the vehicle details or names of people attending their session.

On arrival at the Main Reception, a refund of the £5 parking fee will be given providing the person is legitimately taking part in an activity at the Velodrome at that time and presents a valid parking ticket, i.e. issued on the day. Failure to do so will mean that the fee will not be refunded.

The above arrangements are intended to safeguard the interests of our customers and to enable them to continue to enjoy the facilities. If you have any queries or concerns, please ask to speak to Jarl Walsh, General Manager, or, in his absence, a Duty Manager.
