Getting to SJP on match days (EX4 6PX – visiting fans EX4 6PU) cannot be easier for you. 

Despite being in the heart of Exeter’s bustling city centre, getting to SJP on match days couldn’t be easier!

BUS: Local buses drop off and pick up in York Road, Pennsylvania Road, Prince Charles Road, Union Road, Sidwell Street, Old Tiverton Road and Pinhoe Road. All around the Stadium and less than a minute from the Stadium. Maximum single fare still £3 single journey. Just a few yards further and you will find the bus station which receives county and national services.

RAIL: St James Park boasts the only operating matchday station in the whole of the EFL! The station sits on the London Waterloo line out of the City & has become a match day hub with regular services running from Exeter St. David’s, Exeter Central, Exmouth & Paignton, Okehampton and Barnstaple. 

Match Day timetable changes mean that trains calling at all stations from Okehampton and Barnstaple are extended to finish at St James Park (Exeter) station.  Passengers from London Waterloo should change at either Pinhoe or Exeter Central for services to St James Park. Passengers from London Paddington, Cornwall and from Liverpool/Manchester or further north should change at Exeter St. David’s. A return fare from Exeter St. David’s costs £2.70 but is free if travelling from further afield and St James Park selected as your destination at the time of booking. Returns services continue from 21:51.

DRIVING: No traffic issues anticipated. Why not still use Park & Ride? City Centre car parks will be much quieter than normal. Please read boards as some are free after 6pm. And others, like the local King William Street, stay open longer on evening match days. Greatly reduced on street parking available for sensible parkers.

CYCLING: racks are available for you at the stadium and throughout Sidwell Street.

PARKING: There is extremely limited parking at our stadium, with several city-centre car parks within fairly close range. There is also limited on-street parking for considerate drivers. Wherever possible, we recommend the use of public transport, Park & Ride services, or active transport (walking & cycling) to reach St James Park on matchday.

There are no major traffic delays expected.

We pride ourselves that your SJP is virtually a family stadium. Block E in the Nevada Construction Main Stand is the principal area. The second area we recommend is Black A in the Optimising IT Adam Stansfield Stand. The stand has been decorated by the Museum Trust with lots of standout pictures and impressive stories regaling the history of your club.  

The newest stand features in its under croft two Red and Fed kiosks, a Legends bar for grownups, a plethora of widescreen TVs featuring the televised game pre-match and the half time results service. The stand now boasts a new retail outlet where you can purchase all your genuine Grecian merchandise.  There is also a changing places facility. With so much going on it’s no wonder the stand normally opens an hour earlier than all the other stands. The final area is on the Big Bank denoted by a red floor and white barriers.
