Car Parking

Car Parking facilities are also available for away supporters priced at £8 per car, £12 per minibus and £20 per coach. Disabled bays are also available on a first come first serve basis and charged at the amounts above.

ANPR cameras have now been installed across all Stadium car parks which work in tandem with Parking Eye's secure portal www.parkgood2go.com.

The club primarily encourages supporters and other visitors to utilise www.parkgood2go.com for match day payments. The portal allows users to register their number plate and payment details and once registered, the ANPR cameras will recognise the number plate as the vehicle enters into the stadium car park and payment will automatically be taken.

The vehicle will then be recognised every time it enters the car parks - so there's no need to register and pay every time or to visit a kiosk to make payment.

Pay by Phone app

Payment can also be made via the PayByPhone app, which is available to download for free on mobile phones. The app is easy to use and payment can be made at any time up until midnight on the day of parking. Supporters and other visitors can also pay via the PayByPhone website or by calling 0330 400 7275.

Please note that unlike the www.parkgood2go.com online portal, supporters will need to make payment via PayByPhone every time they enter the car.
