Hello, just after a bit of advice to where would be the best place to park to get a quick getaway after the game to the M6 south? I normally park on the car park opposite the audi garage but after the other weeks debacle of getting away after the citeh game we've decided to try another car park plus I have a party to go to after the spurs game and 140 miles to get home and changed so I can get an ale or 6 down my neck at the party.
Anyone got any good (non-p taking) ideas for a good car park to get away preferably with the street name.
cheers in advance.

We always park at Heron Cross. Again, about 20/25 mins walk from the ground

the nearby warehouses, but you would probably have to leave before the end of the match and sprint to your car

Fletcher Rd, Stoke. 25 mins walk to ground Hardly a quick getaway! Parked various places in the past and due waiting time on getting off the car parks, it is the best option imo. Unless you leave early, which is sonething I wouldn't do. |

Just when you think you've found the ideal place, the traffic mismanagement guys will change the rules!!  |

Definitely the quickest way You'd be back in Stone for about 5.30. |

You may be better off parking down at the Kings Hall in Stoke. Get the bus up to and back from the ground. It's a £3 ticket or at least it was last season! I'm usually back at home(5 miles away) by quarter passed 5 every match day. I think the parking is around £3 too, although I may be wrong there. The queue for the bus after the game can be boisterous at times, but you're usually on the bus within 10 mins. You could leave a few minutes early to cut this waiting time down though. Hope this helps.

Anywhere near the michelin/campbell road? 15 mins walk to your car then prob 5mins to M6? We park opp sideway road on entrance to booker/wrights pies (get there early enough and you can get to the front)

Cheers for the pointers. I may try the Mich this time. Done Heron Cross a few seasons ago and wasn't much better, think the mich may be better to get on the M6. I'm also one who waits until the final whistle so leaving early isn't for me. I take it the mich is a fiver to park as the other places?

Screwfix open their car park for weekend games. It's a good walk, but it's £4 and generally straight out. We've used it for a good few years now. Shame they don't operate for night games though.

We park on the harvester, cost us a fiver and you need to leave a few minutes early to avoid trouble getting away but it's only a 5 minute walk away from Delilahs bar
