    Hi All,
    Any advice on getting into Oakwell late tomorrow? My daughter has a morning match in Goldthorpe, so we're leaving it to the last minute to get to the ground. Where can I park (don't mind paying), to get us into the ground, probably just after 3pm? Is the main car park still open? Or the Riding for Disabled car park?

    Edit - I know k.o is 12.30pm ... won't arrive til that time or later, any advice?

    Think the car park will be empty by 3pm.

    Doh, HABIT! I know the game is 12.30pm.... that's why our plans are messed up! We won't arrive at Oakwell until 12.30pm earliest.

    I would recommend using Pontefract road as it’s usually a lot less busier than Doncaster Road. When you get to Stairfoot roundabout, you can either go up Donny road as far as Hoyle Mill Road and cut through to Pontefract road, or go towards Cundy Cross and then turn up Tank row and turn right at the top, or just carry on to the Roundabout and take the first left onto Pontefract Road. I live at Stairfoot and Donny road can be a nightmare at times.

    I'd park at multistorey and leg it if you and your daughter are able. Anywhere close will be full due to higher than normal attendance I reckon.

    I park on Wood Street but I have relatives there so can always rely on a spot. Otherwise I'd get there early as it fills up. The Beech Street and Cope Street area might be ok.
