Match day Car Parking

[demon_dog]

I'm sure I've seen this mentioned somewhere before but cannot seem to find it!

Having not been into the city for 18 months I wondered if any car parks handy for the ground have closed or new ones opened.

I will be coming into Leicester down King Richards road, where's best from there to park.

 

Cheers.

I believe there are more restrictions around the Westcotes area and of course the Granby Halls site is no longer there. There's also road works going on opening up Putney Road as a through road to Aylestone Road on the Freemans

Commons site..

 

Welford Road Almond Road all the way up to the Ring Road still has restrictions on it, that probably wont affect you though.

Does anyone park at the Highcross? How is it getting out after the game?

We park near there and you would almost not even be able to tell there was a match on when exiting around that area. It’s about a 15/20 minute walk to the car and we have always been able to get straight out and on the a50 home. Saturday games, Sunday games and midweeks.

Out of interest how much does it cost to park there?

At least 30 spaces gone at the bottom of Freemans Common. Potential huge new University multi storey car park on Putney Road but don't think its open yet.

I don’t park on the high cross car park so couldn’t say exactly. If I had to guess around £8 maybe but I’m sure someone will know exactly

We've bitten the bullet this year and bought a ticket for the filbert street car park - used to park at the athletics stadium.

 

Club are now saying we need to be there 60 mins ahead of KO which is tricky as we travel from a fair bit away - does anyone else park there and can they confirm if we'd have issues arriving closer to KO say 30-45 mins out?

[FoxesFourLife]

Anybody know if you go by fox travel to away matches from the stadium you can park your car there?

Wonder if it's possible to use Freeman's Leisure park (Nandos, Local Hero, Bingo etc)? Might have to buy a cinema ticket or something to avoid the Parking Eye cowboys but would still be as cheap as some car parks. Dunno.

Used to park there before. You can go into the Local Hero and register your car reg at the bar and parking is free.

As a matter of interest how much is it to park on the car park?

Not 100% as my dad sorted it but think it was something like a tenner a game ie £200.

Not cheap but he can't walk too far.

Thank you for your info

Is the Westcotes bowls club still doing parking there? I know there’s a road shut nearby like someone on here mentioned as well. 

[09bballer]

Welford Road inbound is shut at Chapel Lane with diversion, will be slow from Wigston I reckon

[Fuchs]

I went to Saffron Lane athletics yesterday as usual but seems as though most of it is taken up by portacabins for the road works? No one charging anymore or policing it (used to be £5). Managed to get in late free.  Not sure if this will be available going forward but if you get there early,  might get in.  Although there is a risk of getting blocked in with no one managing it.

Yes. From memory i think its Car park C - opposite the Foxes Fanstore 

[hebangsthedrums]

Random question - does anyone know if the Filbert Street car park is locked up after matches?

 

I have parking there for the season but might need to leave my car overnight after the villa game - dont want to rock up on  sunday to find its locked in...
