Parking
Matchday parking is available for just £5 to park on Car Parks 1 (away supporters), 3 and 4. Parking payment is card only – there will be no cash payments available on official car parks
The post code WN5 0UN should direct you to Stadium Way and is the best option if you are heading for Car Parks 1, 3, 4 & 5. If you are heading for the main reception or Directors' Car Park, then you should use the post code WN5 0UZ (Loire Drive).
Cashless stadium
