Hi all

Just after a bit if local knowledge ahead of the Championship final

Where's best (i.e cheapest, I am a Yorkie after all) place to park near your ground?

Also, if I decide to come on the train, how much of a walk is it from either of the stations?

Thanks in advance and congratulations on a fantastic season, I'm certain you'll win your GF

The train from Yorkshire is so easy.
Central Station is avout 3 minutes walk from the stadium.

I park at Cockhedge shopping centre, which is free on Sundays. Never seen any notices saying that this is prohibited and never had any problems either ... but it's up to you, if you want to pay to park, then you may as well use the NCP car park, the entrance to which is on Tanners Lane.

Warrington Central station is the closest, come out of the station, turn right, and you can see the stadium.

Thanks, looks like the car, thetrainline says 3 hours on the train from Pontefract

Paul is right about parking, the NCP on Tanners Lane is very close to the stadium and I think we pay £3 on match days.

If you are looking for a good place to have a drink then The Tavern on Church Street serves excellent Real Ales. Its a proper RL pub as well and is less than 10 minutes walk to the ground.

For free parking and where i always park, just head into warrington along winwick road, past tesco's and the stadium till you reach a set of lights with the original wire pub on your left, turn left here onto orford lane then travel about 100 yards down till you see a car park and donatellos on your right. Free parking and a fantastic takeaway pizza after the game for the drive home.

what about parking in the tesco car park next to the stadium? is it free?

Don't travel via Ponte. As the trains are rubbish on a Sunday. Leeds direct service has loads of trains

Try going from Cas-Leeds-Warrington Central.

you can't park in there on match days.

I think the maximum stay is 90 minutes which is ok for the Wigan fans who leave after an hour

No, if you park there on match day you'll get a ticket.

There is a car park across the road from central Station which used to be free in the evenings and on Sundays. Can anybody confirm if that is still the case?

It is free after 6:30pm Monday to Saturday and free on Sundays

The multi story on top of the main shopping centre, Golden Square is free on Sundays and 4 mins walk to stadium. New, roomy and a lift down the the mall for a Costa before the game.

Thanks for all your tips, much appreciated.

Good luck with the rest of your season


Cheers
