| Comment left on Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014 at 16:02 | | Parking: The car-parks at the ground are free and there's lots of space. We parked in Y3, which is at the end of the away stand. Only issue is the queues getting out of the car-park afterwards. | | Eating: Have been twice and both times went to the Chinese restaurant in the complex next to the bowling alley. Their all-you-can-eat buffet for around Ł15 is great value. Excellent food and better than anything inside the ground. Show your match ticket and get 10% off. | | |
