How to get to the city

Parking: There is no parking available at the ground for supporters and there is a “residents only” parking scheme in operation around the stadium.
However, it is a bit of an odd scheme as most nearby roads seem to have parking restrictions on one side only. So it would appear street parking is possible...just pay attention to any parking restriction signs.
Alternatively, you can use one of the city centre car parks, such as Kingsway Shopping Centre, which cost £2 for five hours.
Bus If you're travelling from the Bus Station then take any of the following services and get off at the bottom end of Chepstow Road (next to the traffic lights).Its then a two-minute walk to the ground via Corporation Road
Services 8A and 8C
Services 42, 43 and 44
