Help needed - Ricoh Arena 22:45 - Jul 29 with 4822 viewsBeds_Ranger

Does anyone have any good suggestions for parking near the Coventry Ricoh Arena. I'm looking for somewhere with a quick get away, as I have a few hours drive after the game (Olympics on Friday).
Cheers.

I know it's not everyone's favourite stadium, but it in terms of size the Ricoh looks much more appropriate for women's football than some of the stadiums that have been chosen.

The Colombia - North Korea match at Hampden Park was ridiculous. The attendance must have been about 20 people:

There is a car park next to the ground,and judging by the attendances so far,you should be able to get away with no problems.There are also some private firms next to the ground that allow you to park on their land for a fee.

Try Park At My House.com have used them loads - basically you park on someone's drive. Far safer than some waste ground!!

Hi,

I have heard that they have banned all parking within about 2 miles of the ground and that you need to park in special olympics car parks, with park and ride. I might be wrong though, but that's what I hard was happening at the Ricoh.

It's a horrible place. The shopping centre next door is as souless as the ground.

We also lost 3-0 I had such high hopes for Shimmin too

I went to the Ricoh Arena yesterday for the Mexico v Gabon game followed by Switzerland v South Korea. The official crowd was 30,114 which is at least twice what Coventry get, and it was actually a cracking atmosphere with it so full (though there were only about 18,000 left by the end of the second game!)

As for parking - all the usual places that open up for football are open! The field that is just off the M6 was open but full by the time I got there yesterday (60 mins before the first kick off) but I just followed some other signs for unofficial parking and ended up in massive lorry trailer park which loads of other people used. There were lots of other industrial units opening up as per normal Coventry games. There were signs for "Official Olympic Parking" but I avoided them like the plague. Everyone was charging £10 for parking though so be prepared to be ripped off!

One thing I did find daft about the ground yesterday is that ALL of the signs around the ground have been taped up and covered over by Olympic badges, which includes the massive RICOH sign at the top of the ground thats usually visible from the M6, all the Coventry City badges around the ground, even to the point of the "Coventry Evening Telegraph Stand" signs being removed!

Enjoy the day, can't imagine there will be 30,000 on a weekday but the atmosphere is much better than I've ever seen for a Coventry match there!
