Do they not have any parking for this weekend? Something about parking at Trafford centre and getting a shuttle??

Whatever you do don't park in the official car park at the ground. You'll still be there for the Final.

Took us forever to get off the aerodrome car park after the England game there last year. Although there is a nice little club house there if you want to hang back and let the traffic clear.

I am planning on getting the train to Irlam and the bus from there, has anyone done it that way?

Eccles RL will be your best bet, it's where I always park if I drive to home games. Will post the address on here later on.

I also parked at the aerodrome for that england match, the area seemed like a complete joke to get in and out of, infact we actually missed kick off because of awful traffic.

Does anyone know if shuttle's or anything will be running from the Trafford Centre?

Eccles RL is cracking. Good club to have a pint in and a 15 min walk to the ground.

Yeah we parked at Eccles Roosters ground even for Sale's games.

From the stadium Facebook pageShuttle buses for England v Italy Eccles metrolink 2pm Trafford Centre 2:20pm Arrive Stadium 2:40pm Eccles metrolink 3:15pm Trafford Centre 3:35pm Arrive Stadium 3:55pm To book in email They don't really help if you want to watch the England Knights game. You don't have to book, but I think it gives them an idea on what to expect. If anyone is going on Saturday and is planning to turn up and pay on the day be aware that you will still have to queue at the ticket office, and as it stands they are only intending on opening one stand based on pre-sales. As others have said, unless you really can't walk for 10 minutes or so, don't bother with the official stadium car park and use the Aerodrome, Eccles ARL or the shuttle buses (or public transport - 67 bus from Mcr, or walk from Patricroft station)
