Be careful we got caught on a matchday as I thought it was 3 hours but it states 1.5 hours on matchdays.
If you are costco member you can register your car for the 3 hours (I believe) on their iPad

But, even though I’m going to match, my missus is genuinely shopping for the whole time I’m there.

Not sure how they keep tabs on it... doesn't the other car park entrance that as camera by Costa ect say 90mins on match days? So probably different set up
