Parking fine Islington council

Hi all,

I just wanted some advice if possible I have been given a parking ticket when visiting an elderly relative in Islington on a Sunday. They live far away from the emirates stadium but it does have match day restrictions there but when i visited I checked Arsenal were away so all good I thought.  On seeing the ticket i presumed it must have been some mistake but after appealing I’ve been told its valid as there was an event on which it could be is there was a women’s match on that I wasn’t aware of.  The arsenal women don’t play at the home ground regularly and none of the local residents are aware match day restrictions relate to these games too. It seems ridiculous to me to have received a ticket so far away and on an empty street on a Sunday is there anything I can do? 
Thank you in advance

    As we major on private parking tickets here, Free Traffic Legal Advice (FTLA) forum will be your best bet for council penalty charges. Register there but please note that a Hotmail address may not work - try using a throwaway Gmail account instead if you do have trouble registering, and post a new thread; here's your link:

    Read the sticky 'Read this first before posting your case' as well as reading through some of the other threads there ahead of posting your own details, to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the council (both sides, if appropriate), as they need to see all the small print.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
