Someone sent me this info by e-mail.......Just a quick note that the blog followers might be interested in. Today (20-8-2013) at Curraheen grounds (the farm), I parked my car near the entrance and while I was changing to plod around the pitches, a fellow athlete told me that when he returned to his car (that was parked near mine) he had been clamped and had to fork out €125 to get it released.
So athletes, beware of the double yellow lines that are going ACROSS the road near the entrance of the Farm. Below the double yellow lines at the greyhound side is private property of the greyhound track which is "policed" by the clampers and you will get clamped if you park at this side of the lines.

anyone know where is safe to park, always thought at side of road across from gate (no double yellow lines) was safe. Is this def not the case?
ReplyDeleteI thought the same myself, its a joke they're clamping there. Pure money-making racket. Unless you're parked on the lines at times when there's something on in the dog track you're doing no harm
ReplyDeleteOnce your above the double yellow lines going across the road by the entrance to the farm you will be fine as this belongs to u.c.c. Park below the yellow lines you are in the clampers territory.
ReplyDeleteThe road to the Greyhound track, beyond the entrance to the Farm appears to be private property. This is the area subject to clamping.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone could check with the County Council (maps) to see precisely where the public road ends.
I've sent John a photo which shows where the private section starts.
Business must be down at the dog track ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe double yellow lines start again up the road towards the entrance to cork city football pitch. anyone know if its safe to park there?
ReplyDeleteWas going to go for a night out in greyhound track soon
ReplyDeleteNOT now
Its a bit of a gamble really, parking at the greyhound track....
ReplyDeleteI am a x clamper who worked in cork, you can park your car anywhere left or right on the ucc side of the double yellows crossing the road, yes it is a total money making scam because they give us targets to hit every day, and if we don't we loose our job, and yes I hated doing it! Hope this is helpfully lads enjoy the running.
