    Pentagon roundabout - exit for A52, down there, but will be a swine to get out of.</p>



    Alternatively risk it on retail park nearby.</p>

    WTF!!!

    I'm sure there's a decent size car park at the gound.

    I've been past it a few times but don't take my word for it, as that was a few about 4 years ago so that could have been changed by now.

    Best travelling fan info I have seen - the old site used to link to it. Says:

    "From the the M1, exit at Junction 25 and take the the A52 towards Derby. The ground is signposted off the A52 after about seven miles. There is not a great deal of parking available around the stadium so it may an idea to park in the centre of town and then walk out to the ground. Kenny Lyon suggests; 'perhaps a better place to park for all fans is the cattle market car park. This costs £2 and is about 5-10 minutes walk from the ground and is just off the A52. To get there, go past the normal turning for the stadium and go up to the 'pentagon roundabout;' take the first turning off there and then take the next left - you then drive about 300 yards back on yourself, passing it on your left as you drive along the A52'.

    Steve Hallam informs me; 'A stretch of the A52 between Nottingham and Derby has been named Brian Clough Way in honour of the great mans achievements with both Derby and Forest. Signs have recently been erected along this stretch of the A52 to show this'."

    Yeah thanks Vim I was just looking on there.

    I think that's where I'm headed.

    Problem is I'm taking a guy we sit with at t' Well and he's 74 so I don't want to have to walk him too far.

    I don't think the person you replied to would make a bad journalist.

    found this

    There is no match day parking in the area of the stadium. Away fans are 'encouraged' to park in the 600-space supervised car park at Wilmorton College, on the A6 going into Derby from the south. With the new link road now open away supporters no longer walk along the river path. its just a 10 min walk down the link road, although on a sunny day, this is still an option.
    When we visited, got out of the stadium fairly quickly after the final whistle, walked steadily back to the car park and got out with no problems. Must be one of the best exits from a football ground ever, but it could be different if it took longer to get out of the stadium.
    You could try the car-park further along the same road, though it's officially for home fans. There is also a Park &amp; Ride with 200 spaces on Megaloughton Lane.
    There is some free parking on the road outside the college and in a small industrial estate opposite, and there is also plenty of parking near the railway station which is a 20 min walk

    In front of our goal would be a good place to park.

    I replied to you, who despite having

    a poor grasp of English constantly criticises a certain BFC employee.

    Do you understand that, stupid?
