    Ayup J - if you can get there early enough, try the Century Way Industrial Estate. It's where folk working at the game get to park and I've never known them to check ID's or accreditation or 'owt. Cover your colours and you should be okay. Head up past the club shop, take the next left round the back of the Tipton End. Junction at the end of there with a pub on your left. Turn right and then left after about 40-50yds into the Ind. estate. Park anywhere along there. Five mins walk max back to away end. There's always a car with a couple of security guards in at the entrance, but they're just there to stop cars getting robbed, I think. Whenever I've been they're always safely ensconced in the car with a flask and the papers!!</p>



    Don't use the big Woolworths/Morrisons car park - you'll get a ticket.</p>

    For the playoff I parked here...

    Go down the M42, then take M6 North, exit at J5 heading north on the A452 (right at island under M6), then take next left at Spitfire Island (you'll see) onto A47 (Jaguar Plant is on this island). Keep on A47 till you get to A4540 and turn left (south). After about half a mile you'll come to a big island then some railways bridges over the road, turn left onto the minor road (between the railways) and park here. Its about a mile to the ground and you'll get away easily. When leaving, you'll have to turn south onto the A4540, turn back north at the first island and go back to the A47 etc.

    I work at the Jaguar Plant so I know the area well and was advised to park here by a Blues fan.
