I cannot provide evidence of that . Only witnesses but that may not be enough I guess?

I can provide evidence that we block book the pitch for every 2-3 months from 10 to 11:59. As Lookingforjustice suggests, I could ask some to write a letter mentioning what happened. Sadly I got rid of the old parking tickets, they were resting on the floor of my car for weeks, if I had known! Thanks again

Thanks all of you for your comments. I'll try phoning them and mentioning that to them or you recommend to do a formal challenge? If I can't get it cancelled seems like I'll have to do a bit more of excercise on Saturdays by using my bicycle or make sure I go first to the hospital! lol

I received a PCN which I think is unfair, what are my chances of getting it cancelled. I did an informal challenge on the Sheffield city council web site as follow: "I play football every Saturday from 10am to 11:59am at Goodwin Sport Center where we book a pitch. This place is around the corner where I park (and where I got this PCN). I always arrive a few minutes before my game and pay my parking ticket, like today at 9:56am. After my game finishes it takes me around 2 minutes to arrive to where I park my car. I've done like this for some months and have never had a PCN. Today, around 10 minutes to 12 I got hit in the face with the ball, some blood came out of my nose and I got dizzy, so I had to rest some minutes and stop at the toilet. Because of this it took me a bit longer to get to my car. I arrived around 12:15, when I arrived I saw this PCN and plenty of empty parking spaces to use. I agree with the payment for parking and the restricted time of 2 hours, this is fair and allows other people to use the parking space. In the other side, I may be wrong but I think it is unfair to issue a PCN for some minutes delay when there are plenty of empty spaces. I'd appreciate if this can be reconsidered. Thanks." After that, I got a letter from the council saying the following: "Thank you for writing to us. Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in responding to your correspondence. We have carefully considered your points but we have decided not to cancel your parking ticket. You were issued with a parking ticket because the time on your pay and display ticket had run out. Although you may have parked in a quiet street with plenty of spaces, you still have to park within the rules. Unfortunately, unexpected delays are not grounds for cancellation." In the pictures they took it can be clearly observed there are plenty of spaces. I think the point of charging and setting an maximum parking time is so other people can park there, can I get this cancelled using that as argument? I'd appreciate advice. Thanks for your time reading this!
