Parking!

Quote: SaintsFan "Where would be the best place to park on Friday?'"

Chalon Way multistorey car park. That is the car park which is to serve as the primary parking facility for the stadium. There is also a car park next to it on the old Tesco site (the Tesco is boarded up now and therefore hard to miss).

Aim for the St Helens Linkway (it is marked as such on maps, if you are using a map, or there is the postcode of the stadium on the Saints website if you are using a SatNav). Keep going through the roundabouts following the signs to the town centre. You will eventually come across a small roundabout which exits off to the new Tesco. Just keep going straight ahead (there is only straight ahead and the exit to Tesco). You'll soon come across a bigger roundabout. Take the second exit off that. You should go under a bridge. Move into the right hand lane. Keep to the far right and take a right turn at the traffic lights. You will see the old Tesco on your right. You will go round a little roundabout. Take the final exit off that roundabout. You will see the Tesco car park on your right with the Chalon Way multistorey just beyond it. Park up on either of those two car parks.

Once you have parked up just aim for the glass museum, which you can't miss as it has a big brick kiln in front of it! Go past that and under the bridge. Keep walking. You'll pass just one building on your left (St Helens Chamber) and a couple of industrial units on your right. Keep to the pathway. You will go over the canal. You will see the flashy new bridge ahead of you. Cross that and keep on walking in front of the massive new Tesco on your left. When you get to the end of Tesco, turn left and lo and behold you will be confronted by the most magnificent stadium ever built in the history of humankind!'"

Such a short walk to Wembley? Well I never.
