Author Topic: Wolves away in the FA Cup, selling details. New thread!! (Read 12951 times)

There's a massive free car park just off a roundabout right next to a KFC and Science Park on the main road towards the ground. Apparently it's a park and ride in the daytime but is free at night, loads of home fans park there so I checked with some of them first when I parked there for the league game. About a 15 min walk to the ground and straight onto the main road to the motorway after. There's probably nearer places but some were charging up to a tenner that I walked past.

EDIT: Just googled it for you, it's off Bushbury Lane off Stafford Road. You'll see the KFC from the main road, take the left off the roundabout and it's round to your right.

Driving down on Monday, not been before so any info on best routes, parking etc from those who went to the league match?

Birch Street car Park is very handy literally less than 5 mins walk to the ground. 5 quid for the night.

I just park in the ASDA right next to the ground. Says that parking over 2 hours and all football related parking means you'll get a ticket but I've parked there loads of times and never been given a ticket. Its less than a minutes walk from the ground but if you don't leave early before the final whistle get ready to be stuck there for at least an hour.

Do you know if that car park is open til late ? On the google images the car park notice says open from 7am - 7pm ? Or, does it stay open later on match nights ? Cheers.

I parked there for the game before Xmas and it was fine, locals said it was a park and ride during the day but could be used for free during night games. There's no barrier to stop you getting in or out in the evening. Seems mad they're not capitalising on it and charging to be honest!

Was just going to ask the question about parking but seen the last few posts happy days

Where's everyone going for a pre game bevy? Keep seeing this ad on Facebook for The Outback 'The official away fan club.' 50 Queen Street WV1 3BJ.

Google says it's a 13 minute walk from the ground and doors open at 5pm.

Parked in that one which was free as you said and really easy to get out of after so thanks for the tip.

Hell of a walk though, had to stop for a sit down a few times, especially on the way back. Legs are killing me today.

Was a good trek wasn’t it! McNasty's had some business off me both ways!

I parked there as well, although not in the actual car park, I snagged a place on the side street just outside the KFC.

Walk to the ground was fine for me, though I'm used to fairly long walks.

Cheers for the recommendation

Haha, no probs - sorry about the walk, I did it in torrential rain after the league game if it's any consolation!

We parked on the civic centre. £3 after 5pm. Woulda been quicker if we weren’t made to walk up a hill and all the way around

Weren’t allowed in the pubs being Liverpool fans. ASDA did well last night
