TRAVELLING BY CAR

Derby City Council have implemented a strict Residents Only Parking Scheme across the City Point Development, which is a 15-minute walk south of Pride Park Stadium. Vehicles parking without a valid permit will risk a Penalty Charge Notice being issued.

These restrictions are in place 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and include bank holidays.

The home club recommend that away supporters park at the Derby Conference Centre on London Road (A6), which is located at DE24 8UX, about a 10 to 15-minute walk from Pride Park Stadium. There is space for 200 vehicles.

The car park is signposted as ‘Away Supporter Parking’ or follow signs for the Conference Centre. 

Accessible parking is available for Blue Badge Holders. These are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and a Blue Badge must be displayed while parked. 

These spaces must be booked no later than 24 hours prior to the match by calling the Derby County ticket office on 01332 667528.

The home club have advised that the shortest route on foot is as follows:

• Walk east on Roundhouse Road.
• At the roundabout, take the third exit onto Pride Park Way/A6.
• At the roundabout, take the first exit onto Derwent Parade.
• At the roundabout, take the third exit onto Royal Way.

There are no return trains after 9.30pm.

SUPPORTER COACHES

Official Supporter Coaches will depart the Swansea.com Stadium at 1.30pm on November 27.

Swansea City is disappointed to report that, after several instances of anti-social behaviour on coach travel this season, there will be increased security measures in place, and as a result, additional costs to the club.

The club is investigating a number of incidents, and any supporters who have witnessed any anti-social behaviour can report this anonymously to support@swanseacity.com. As a result of the increased security costs, the club has taken the decision to increase the cost of coach travel. 

The club does not make any profit from coach travel and will continue to review security for coach travel with the aim of safely reducing security measures and associated costs for future matches.  

Supporters under the age of 16 will be refused entry if they try to access away travel unaccompanied. Supporters using the coach service are reminded that, in line with traffic commissioner guidelines, strictly no alcohol can be brought on board the coaches. 

Supporters who do not adhere to this rule, or partake in other anti-social behaviour, run the risk of the coaches being turned around and the club will look to impose a home and away fixture ban on any individuals responsible for such behaviour for the remainder of this season.

NEARBY PUBS

There are some pubs near the ground which will accept away supporters, though most will request that club colours are covered.

The stadium kiosks will open at the same time as turnstiles in the away end, with a range of food and drink available to purchase.
