Match day car parking....

[weller54]

Hi everyone..

Through a very kind season ticket holder I've managed to get tickets to take my 8 year old autistic grandson to see his first match against QPR!.... although he's now registered with the club on their disabled list I can't seem to get any car parking arrangements sorted out for the day, unless I'm willing/can afford to pay £18!!!!!!!   Can anyone suggest where I could park on the day that isn't quite so extortionate please?

Believe Tigers ground and a couple of businesses around there offer parking think it is max £10.

I use Just Park and rent someone’s drive off Narborough Road.  A few available £8ish.

Very easy to get away afterwards if you are heading towards the M1/M69.

If you can walk down from near the Morrisons there are some charity car parks for about £7 near the Storage facility.

Haven't parked around here for a long time as it used to take hours to get out afterwards. Has anyone noticed this has improved since since they opened up the road on to Saffron Lane?

We park in the multi storey at LRI.

Costs about £5.50 I think but does take a while to get out afterwards.

Only a 10 min walk max to the ground

What's LRI?

Thanks for the tip though, if you have a postcode that would be handy?

I've been told that Freemans Common Industrial estate is another option?  Any thoughts?

Park at odeon use screen inside to enter reg for free parking also good for a quick pee.  Local Hero for beer before hand too.

 

free parking 5/10 min walk only downside can take time to exit.

Taking my little daughter to Leicester ladies tomorrow, usually park off Hinckley Rd with my son but as there'll only be a few thousand tomorrow is there anywhere close by to the ground I could whack it that anyone would recommend?

 

Cheers

If you aim for somewhere like Bruce Street or Sheffield Street (off Narborough Road) there is ample street parking free on Sunday's. Probably as short a walk as you get if wanting to park for free.

Not driven in a long time to the ground on Match Day but I managed to get a ticket 🎫 for my brother, he’s coming up the M1 I’m coming down M1 and I wondered if anyone had any tips for car parking with possibly a post code so we can meet

up ?

Hospital car park, there is always plenty of space

Having had my wife in the LRI for a month and finding it hard to park at times I find it quite odd people use their car park for the match. I’m not having a go I just wouldn’t myself
