Teabags Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Quick Question: Where do you get the affinity with an NHL team from to the point that you call them "we"? (Genuinely interested - American sports have largely passed me by)Needed to pick a team. When I first did, Sabres played in Black adn Red and had this logo...and this player...So yeah. Buffalo Sabres it was. As Gypsum pointed out, there's various reasons. New Jersey Devils because of The Sopranos I think.Was actually becasue they became a team in 1982, when he was born. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Or park at Duthie Park for free and walk 15 minutes up Crown Street. You can't get away with that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it's heavily watched by wardens and i'm sure there's a fine structure in place. http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/3325050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bad shout, there's usually spaces on Riverside Drive outside Riverside House as well. Still a bit of a walk but car less likely to get covered in bird shit and fish guts.

MattJimF Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Or you could go the other direction and investigate Westburn Park. I know you used to be able to park for free on the road that separated the park and Cornhill hospital, but not sure if you can now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, no it doesn't (I work in an office there at the moment). Spaces are scarce (and getting worse all the time as new office blocks are being put up) which is why I end up in Torry every day.

All my Aberdeen information is 2.5 years out of date though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a car park outside DF communications where The Arches coffee shop was before it closed on Riverside Drive. It's free and unmonitored. Short walk up Bridge Street boom - there you are. It gets busy from around half 8ish but if you're in early you're laughing. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladstone Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Or park in Capt. Toms car park? xxDon't know if it's still there - but at the end of that road (at the entrance side of the one way street) there was a bit of dead ground I left my car on a couple of times when I worked at Golden Square. I also parked in Captain Tom's a couple of times when I had band practice after work. Felt too cheeky to do it if I didn't have band practice though.

Didn't google hard enough then. All information from google and the first phone app (which I found on google). Bus doesn't go all the way up Oscar Road, turns left at Grampian Place, so you have to get off just before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 People who work in the city centre (e.g. an office on or just off Union Street) and drive, where the fuck do you park? Your best bet might be to go west, young man. Union Grove or Great Western Road direction, as far as I know parking is free anywhere West of Ashley Road. Not too far to walk along Union Grove.

Moon Moon Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ok those who live in Glasgow able to do me a favour? Me and my mates are planning on going to Glasgow for a weekend in April since we are all under age and are not able to get a hotel we need one of our "parents" (that would be who ever is up for the favour) to accompany us to the hotel so we can get in. Will obviously pay you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
