As I'm driving tomorrow (trying to lay of the booze) I think I will try the park and ride. Enderby looks the best place (from the South) getting the 203 bus.
Anyone ever done that before? |  | | |  |

Its the best park & ride location for getting to the ground but it won't be quick or easy getting back afterwards as there's no dedicated bus lane for the whole journey (is for probably about a third of it), so your P&R bus will get stuck in the same traffic as everyone else trying to get back to the M1. It doesn't go straight past the stadium either so the nearest bus stop will still be about a 10 min walk away.
Of course an option is heading into the city centre after the game whilst traffic calms down for leaving the city then pick the bus up back to the P&R from the city centre stop, if you have the time to kill.
P&Rs are great initiatives, but I don't think its particularly well designed in this city. They didn't utilise it at all when Radio 2 in the Park was on a couple of years ago which I think speaks volumes. |  | | |

Thanks Pal - much appreciated do you think it’s still a better option than trying to park near the ground? | | | |

If you're coming in off the M1 set your sat-navs for a road called Dumbleton Avenue (its off the A5460 Narborough Road) and there is free street parking there or streets either side of it.
Its about a 20 minute walk to the ground from there, and will get you straight back out to the M1 afterwards (with some traffic) without faffing around with buses. | | | |

Well actually down the A46 from Newark. So east side I guess. | | | |
