Is there somewhere for me to park at Maiden Castle?
Parking will be available for free in two car parks.
Car Park 1 is situated at Maiden Castle and is just steps from the entrance to the ground.
Spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis – Blue Badge parking is fully booked.
If Car Park 1 is full, supporters will be asked to park in Car Park 2 – which is approximately 15 minutes walk away from the ground.
This is indicated on the map below:
We would therefore advise all spectators to arrive in plenty of time to ensure that they arrive at the ground in time for kick-off, should they have to walk from Car Park 2.
We would ask fans to walk or utilise public transport where possible.
There are also a number of parking options in the city centre which are about a 30 minute walk from Maiden Castle – however, with this game being on Remembrance Sunday, these could be quite busy. CLICK HERE for details of public transport and walking options.

Can I bring a bag into the ground?
We do permit bags into the ground, but request that supporters endeavour to bring backs that are A4-sized or smaller wherever possible.
Fans should also note that random bag searches will be in operation at the turnstile, so if you are bringing a bag please arrive in sufficient time in case you are selected for a search.
Will I be able to get a seat in the ground?
Seating at Maiden Castle is available on a first come, first served basis. We would therefore recommend that any fan wishing to secure a seat arrive for the turnstiles opening.
