Not been in the retail park for a while but noticed No Football Supporters Parking signs. Don't know how they would police that though.

I've parked there before games since they put that signage up, most recently for the Aberdeen game, and never had any issues.

Parked there on Saturday. Didn’t see the signs but also popped into Sainsbury’s and grabbed some stuff.
Is it only on match days they don’t want football fans to spend money in their shops? 😂

Indeed.
A stupid notice, and one thats pretty unenforceable.

It's a problem if our supporters are kicking the arse out of it and there are insufficient spaces for shoppers in the retail park for 3 hours when Hibs are playing.
I could see the area near to Sainsbury's being significantly affected. For that reason I park towards the corner furthest away from that area and walk the extra 70 metres but other supporters are lazier and less thoughtful.
It would be a pain if the vendors decided to change the current 4 hour parking limit to 2 hours to address the issue.
Ah well. I'm away to shine up my halo.

The Bingo crowd would not be amused if it went to 2 hours. I tend to but something in one of the shops when I park there so they also get some business from those that park and go to the game

I usually fire into Lidl pre-match with a shopping list from the wife which probably keeps me squared up with her and the retail park although I do lose points if I seccumb to some tool or accesories from the middle isle. I lost a lorra lorra points the day I returned home from Hibs v St Mirren with bread, milk, soup, fruit, tatties and a welder :wink:

it is almost a certainty to happen (the reduction to 2 hrs) because of 1) thr Pure? Gym members competing and also due to insufficient space at Meadowbank Stadium/Sports complex it also acts as an overspill. Summits bound to give.

It's about 15 years ago or so but the wife sent me and the boy out to get food from Chipotle but it was the night before the Superbowl so we went to Best Buy instead and bought the biggest TV they had with speakers as well. Seriously, she didn't speak to me for a full week 🤣🤣

I was near Ibrox recently and saw that the Tesco had similar signs all over the place. Fair enough I thought, I wouldn’t want Huns in my shop either!
