Evening lads. I'm looking to drive from the Heath area to the game tomorrow (yes I could get the train but a bit apprehensive about it to be fair. Not a fan of crammed conditions at the best of times).
If I were to drive where would you recommend I park? Happy to pay and happy to walk a bit to the game.
Not sure of the street before I look on maps, but the side street in canton with the church down there was always good for me on a SaturdayQuote:

That's where my mate used to park, good shout thanks.Quote:

Try Hamilton Street, get there early . Buses are safe and less busy.Quote:

How did you get off with the train mate ?
I had a nightmare on the bus. Getting there was great no probs at all. Would prob use again tbh.
However trying to get back was a nightmare.
Waited by Leckwith to catch bus back into town to catch a bus up to Heath. Waited till 17:20 but no sign of train. Walked into canton to wait for the direct bus to Heath but that never arrived. Think best bet for bus is walk into canton or Grangetown and get into the city centre.

Great mate thanks. Nice and easy, only issue was the timings so the 17:02 train meant I missed the last few minutes, which is annoying.Quote:

Apologies if you can't power walk like we used to, only mentioned it as we were the furthest away to walk there :thumbup:
I could have probably made it mate. Moved to the lower seats to miss the backing up in the aisles.Quote:

Not great.Quote:
