    Do you drive a bus? If so park it across our goal.

    I park in either the East Dene WMC - though that can get full early if there are a decent number of away fans
    or the Riding for the Disabled - East Dene better for a get away but the riding for disabled isnt too bad and also you are supporting a good cause

    Under no circumstances park in the Official car park - Not if you want to get home before midnight. I did it a couple of times when my Dad had a bad leg and could barely walk and wont be doing that again - I will just drop him off and go and park at the Riding for Disabled if that happens again and come and pick him up again after the match

    Which way do you walk up, I’m confused by all the road closures etc.

    From the front of the courthouse pub turn left down the hill to the lights turn right then follow that road to the other side of jumble lane crossing.

    Left down Eldon Street under the railway bridge then right along Schwabisch Gmund Way infront of the railway station. Just follow all the miserable looking people.

    As others below have said, but if you follow the crowds you'll be fine.

    The only tricky bit is outside Buzz Bingo. It's easy to get swept inside by the blue-rinse mob if you don't keep your wits about you.

    I always park on Pindar Oaks Street and walk 5 mins down road, not one bit of traffic on the way out but it’s an easy exit for me to Huddersfield where I live too

    True, but you try getting in. I gave up after first few games and now park on a drive at a location that shall remain secret

    Loads of empty spaces in the middle of the club car park most weeks yet they are turning people away.

    This is my experience too, not got in there once this season and other than a couple of games, there have been lots of empty spaces.

    I've taken to parking in either Courthouse or the carwash opposite the Mount.

    The best without a doubt in my opinion is the car park opposite the Alambra on westway. Allways spacers available and you don't end in the bottle necks after the game. You've just got to remember to get the free ticket out of the machine and its valid for 3 hours.

    Sounds better than ending up at Oakwell to be fair.
