PARKING

Parking at St James is limited and therefore reserved for players, visiting directors and sponsors. There are several large car parks nearby provided by Exeter City Council. Most of the streets around St James Park are reserved for residents and is vigorously patrolled by traffic wardens.

Our surveys show that a large number of fans already car share to

games and the club is keen to support this - you can use CarshareDevon to help you share your journeys.
