    not going to start an argument but i know the exact data for weekend parking and the weekends are much quieter in all car parks on the site
    Of course it is, theres no clinics and the HC is shut so theres decent parking for actual visitors and staff instead of people having to park on the verges and at the end of rows wheres theres no actual space.

    People can make up their own minds.

    Oh FFS.
    50p an hour at the centre and it’s closer. Leave the hospital for staff and visitors

    Please dont park in the hospital. Theres not enough spaces for visitors and staff as it is. Theres plenty parking at the centre for 50p an hour and is max ten min walk.

    folk can park where they like, and have done for years, rightly or wrongly
    Why would you want to park at a hospital site when there is plenty parking much nearer the stadium. Makes no sense.

    In that case it would be wrongly.

    Who would chose to take up parking space at a hospital to go and watch the football?

    you could park at Howden and walk through the hospital grounds, it's the moral thing to do

    Is the bar at the stadium still open before the game?

    United we stand here....

    Funny that people ignore the posters fairly valid reason for parking at the hospital to have a dig at them. I'm sure if the car park was close to capacity at weekends then They would choose not to park there.

    The “fairly valid reason” is because it’s free and “only a 10 min walk” whilst others have pointed out the parking at the hospital should be left for staff and visitors, regardless of how much quieter it is at the weekend.

    There’s plenty of parking closer to the ground, for free or for as little as 50p an hour at the Centre, 2 mins from the ground

    Nobody had a dig at the poster, only valid reasons for not parking there were given. As i said, people can make up their own minds

    i was going to bow out of this but staff cant/ shouldnt park in the main car park anyway so makes no difference to staff if a few football fans park there, ive deleted my posts though as i cant be bothered with the argument!

    That wasn't the reason he stated. I am unsure if he has now deleted it.

    Any recommendations for parking near the stadium... bringing my wee one so no boozing beforehand.
    You can park in Dunelm and Home Bargains car park and walk to the ground via Bubbles swimming pool in about 7 or 8 minutes and be at the away side of the ground.

    Blimey. I only asked how to get there. Didn’t think it would escalate into a parking ethics argument!

    From Livingston North train station it's around a 30 minute walk, from Livingston South its about 40 minutes. Best to get a bus or a taxi from either in my opinion.

    Parking is free at many of the car parks just behind the shopping centre - though watch for Parking Eye time limits. Parking is 50p for 3 hours at Asda or 50p an hour at the centre.
    Parking is free at the Bank of Scotland car park at the back of the centre at the Paraffin Lamp though it's usually really busy.

    better parking in the multi-storey, £2 or sommit won't break the bank, 50p/hour, the shops close at six so i imagine the car park might be 7, but don't quote me on that, i don't want anyone going for a pint after the game and getting their car locked in :)

    You’ll get access to “The Terrace” car park at weekends...normally controlled by barriers for WLC staff during the week. Barriers are up at the weekend.

    From there it’s a hop, skip and jump over the bridge towards West Lothian Civic Centre, then across another bridge to the away end of the Tony Mac Arena.

    Park around Howden and walk to stadium from the Civic Centre. 10 min walk tops. Easy peasy.

    Livi North train station a twenty minute walk to the ground, livi south a bit longer. Asda and the designer outlet car parks both pay for(lived in Livingston all my days and been driving for 4 years never paid to park in either). The terrace car park opposite the centre with the entrance being just up from dominos which is shut mon-fri is free parking on Saturdays. Realistically only place you’ll “have” to pay is the multi stories for each shopping centre. Now a lot more busses coming out here as Lothian have just started coming out here, all of which go through the bus station which you could walk backwards to the ground and still make in 10 minutes

    I’m going by car, but will probably need a bus back to carry the wifes goods home from her shopping spree whilst I’m at the game.
