Important car park information

We would like to advise supporters that use of the club car park will be free for this Saturday’s home fixture against Queen of the South due to potential issues caused by the fact there will be no assisted exit onto the A8.

Last Friday we, along with other SPFL clubs, received notification from Police Scotland that they were withdrawing their services from traffic regulation duties at events unless a Traffic Regulation Order was in place.

This will impact ourselves as police have historically provided points assistance at our car park exit, and been paid for the service for decades.

We have been working tirelessly with our community partners in Inverclyde Council, who’ve been of great assistance, to address this situation over the course of the week but cannot offer a solution in this short timeframe.

Rather than closing it completely, however, the board have made the decision to allow fans to access the car park this coming Saturday.

But we must caution that cars exiting post-match will be subject to lengthy delays and would urge fans to park elsewhere wherever possible.

This is a situation outwith the control of the club and we will continue to work with all parties to ensure as swift a resolution as possible.
