Title: Visitor with walking difficulties - advice needed
Post by: Kentish Gent on February 14, 2014, 01:55:48 PM
I have a friend who has a little difficulty in walking (but who is not registered disabled) who is bringing his two kids to the Cottage for the Newcastle game. I know that it's almost impossible to park near the ground on match days, and that the walk from the tube station through Bishops Park is also a bit of a hike. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how they might minimise the journey? Your help would be very much appreciated.

Get there early before 2  and try and find a spot on the right of Fulham palace road  around Kingswood road as a landmark, ( going towards Hammersmith) this is the nearest you can park without a blue badge, sit in your car till 2.30 and pay £6.60 to park.

...why not park on the Putney side of the river and pre-book a cab to pick you up from say The Half Moon Pub to take you to the end of Finlay Street.

You could set up a similar appointment post match to get you back to the Half Moon (although it will take quite a bot longer time-wise, it will spare the wear and tear on the 'pins'...

Call the club customer services.  They have a car park for disabled customers with a mini bus transfer. I used it when I had a knee operation.
