in Parking tickets, fines & parking

hi all. Not sure if anyone can help here or not but I had this the other day from parking not within a bay. A case of something people do every Saturday during grassroots football games but got a ticket this time. Google view shows where I and others had parked outside of marked bays

What’s the likelihood of winning a fight here with them?

    Youd be better off on the ftla forum. This forum deals mainly with private parking, not councils.

    But in effect you are parked on the pavement those DYLs cover the area up to the adjacent land as shown below your image is being a bit selective.

    But the best place to get help is FTLA they deal with private parking invoices on this forum.
