Anyone know the score for parking at the ground this Saturday? Is free? Pay on the day etc?

I purchased a car park pass at the stadium, the disabled parking is through the RFL for this event as will the WC game
Not sure if there will be pay on the day.

Just received this email (I might have changed a small detail)

Alternatively, if you wish to drive we have opened a number of parking spots on site charged at £5 - you can buy these direct from the stadium or buy online at

Shuttle bus not much use if you want to watch the Knights game!

Hopeless!

Did think that myself, odd to promote a double header but then only get the fans there after the first game has kicked off.

Just get the 67/10/100 from Eccles would be just about as quick and they are pretty regular, 67 is quickest and drops you off 200 yards walk away.

I'll be driving and parking at Barton but like you say, they sell it as a double header, offer special discounts for season ticket holders etc and then fail to get people there!

I'd love to know who does the planning for these buses!!!

Even if they are not expecting big numbers you'd expect the first bus to get you there for the first game!!!

Needs to be free car parking to ensure a decent crowd.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Got the ticket when I bought my first season pass last week.

I'll be getting a First Bus day ticket. Home to stadium and back for £4 is okay I reckon.

Does anybody know if any of our new signings are playing?

my mate parks for free behind the North Stand so should be ok tomorrow

How does he manage to park for free?

Chase and Hock are both starting.
