On a slightly related note. Can anyone advise on the best way to get from the ground to Durham Station on a Sunday night, to catch a train at 6.50? Are buses reliable or should I bite the bullet with a taxi?

The batting was fine the other day tbf. Bowling is another matter entirety
21 bus from CLS high street is pretty direct.

Parking was pretty seamless on Monday, one guy pointed us to a space then someone looked to be in every row taking a contactless payment, and she told us about the online discount for next time,
bit gutted though as my usual parking space the locals have caught on and were out in force saying residents only. although i know that street doesnt actually have parking permits

Some streets have official council permit holder signs up but they don't cover evenings. I haven't seen any of the temporary "resident only" signs this year for the red ball game which appeared last year, but as I parked elsewhere on Monday I don't know if these temporary signs were out round the streets off Ropery Lane on Monday. Other council car parks on an evening and a Sunday are free anyway, so works well for the T20. 10-15 minute walk which worked well for us.

the "residents only" sign was just next to that bike recycling shop on ropery lane, i think that street might be Council permits but the 2 streets further down arent, have parked on Plantagnet Ave for years with no issue, but seemed as if the neighbourhood watch was out in force monday night, couldnt be bothered to argue with the guy, as didnt want to get blocked in or have my car damaged

The temporary 'Residents Only' signs were on display in the Holmlands Park/Roman Ave area ie to the left as you walk down Ropery Lane.

Yeah Holmands Park is an official permit zone area for certain hours during the day 10-1 2-4 IIRC (not on a Sunday) but I don't think any other places are official permit zones, this is the only place you can get a parking ticket and it's only during those hours. Those temporary signs aren't enforceable and are just put up as a deterrent as there is no way of proving who is and who isn't a resident as nobody has been issued with permits.
The residents in Holmands Park are very precious, they didn't like me parking their even long before the official permit zone signs despite the fact I knew a resident and the fact part of the zone isn't actually owned by the council and not enforceable by anyone
