In addition to the new parking restrictions previously advised at West of Scotland CC and Hillhead CC, please note the following:

Hamilton Palace (Glasgow South CC “home” ground)

We have been advised by Ammar Ashraf  that the stated new parking restrictions in the main car parks will not apply for cricket matches. There is also scope to park on the grass at the cricket pitch for a limited number of cars.

Kilmarnock CC

Visiting teams should not park at the Ayrshire Athletic Arena (“AAA”) car park. There is ample parking very close to the ground. Cars parked at the AAA may be locked in when the Arena closes. There have been a couple of cases of this recently, resulting in visiting players having to return the following day to get their vehicles.
