Cheers in advance. Normally, places that advertise "matchday parking £5, £7, £10 or even higher"... Depends on the Christmas spirit really... How much you want to be goosed by or how much they want to drop all charges and let you park for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt109 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 we've parked at the bowling club [ST4 4LJ] last couple of times, its north of the A50 [about 15 min walk] and seems easier to get away after the match than the car parks down Stanley Mathews Way. link thingy https://www.awaygames.co.uk/away-day-guides/stoke-city-away/#1467752466853-8bcf3018-3343 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginner Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 A lot of the residential streets within 15mins walk are now restricted parking on match days. Google Grove Road. Stoke FC website offers advice to away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to try to park across the A50 from the ground (Grove Road) or across the railway/canal/A500 on the industrial estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is parking on Grove Rd but you'll need to be there early, the bowling club is just of Grove Rd, accross the little road from Heron Cross school.

Grove Road is now restricted parking on match days - you can Google the story. The school on Claud Street seems like the nearest pay option, but bear in mind that all Stoke fans are in the same boat with regard no longer being able to park on those residential roads so it could be full early on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttimeowls Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Been to stoke many times I usually park behind the away end I think it’s Stanley Mathews way if you come from the derby side a50 take the turn off Left about a mile and half before the ground this takes you round to the away end it’s not the cheapest although all priced different the further you walk the cheaper it is the main tip is to come out the ground spot on final whistle and there is no hold up with police as you are parked directly behind it and if you can get a head start you can be out the area very quick the downside is you can get stuck there for absolutely ages if late out the ground but I have always managed to get away there also is a pub you can walk to as you enter the Stanley Mathews way no hassle just my take on it hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
