Is there somewhere for me to park?
Parking will be available for free in two car parks.
Car Park 1 is situated at Maiden Castle and is just steps from the entrance to the ground.
Spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
If Car Park 1 is full, supporters will be asked to park in Car Park 2 – which is approximately 15 minutes walk away from the ground.
This is indicated on the map below:
We would therefore advise all spectators to arrive in plenty of time to ensure that they arrive at the ground in time for kick-off, should they have to walk from Car Park 2.
We would ask fans to walk or utilise public transport where possible.
What time should I arrive?
Supporters will be able to enter Maiden Castle from 10:30am, which is when the turnstiles will open.
