Parking restrictions are in place on the adjacent retail park at the Asda, Tesco, Halfords, Wynsors and Iceland stores. Supporters should avoid parking here.
Furthermore, supporters are advised not to park in Nelson Street or Stanforth Street, as a ‘Residents Only’ parking scheme is in operation.

Supporters can also park at KM Furniture store, which is just a few minutes walk behind the away stand, for a small fee.
