Coventry Easy Car Parking and Away Pub

[bubbleshorse]

Extensive parking restrictions around the Ricoh Stadium mean that no casual street parking is allowed for up to 2 miles around the Stadium.

When coming up next week please consider parking here.

Family run and popular with Away fans due to being 200 yds away from the only Away fans pub in the area.

Adjacent to M6 Junction 3, 200 spaces, ¾ mile from the stadium, 15 minute walk and prepay online using Paypal or Credit Card. Easy get away with no queues onto the M6.

Thanks Keith.

Nice one, just booked my place.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Sounds good, will pass on the info to my lift.

The Blackhorse Pub is opening at 11am so I will open the gates at the same time. Thanks for the bookings already recieved.

Nice one think this might be a good idea. Do you recommend advance booking or will it be easy to pay on the day

Is there a bus from the train station?

 

[bubbleshorse]

To guarantee a space it is best to prebook. We filled up by 2pm last week but that was against Middlebrough who bought 4000.
If you get there before 1.30 I think you "should" be okay.

There was an informal bus from the station last week and I will try to find out the situation this week. There is a regular match day service from the central bus station (about a mile from the station with a walk through the town centre) that goes directly to the Ricoh (£3 return)

De Courcey Travel ran a special bus from the Station to the ground 2 weeks ago but say they do not run a service anymore.
Must have been a one off.

Coventry train station is about three and half miles away from the stadium and really is too far to walk. There is a shuttle bus that operates from the bus station to the Tesco/Arena stadium complex. It departs every 10 minutes and costs £3 return (for adults), otherwise jump in a taxi.

 

[bubbleshorse]

The station is about half a mile to the town centre and about another half mile to the bus station.

The Stadium is about 4 miles north of the town centre at J3 of the M6.

Thanks very much , will drink in town then head up to the stadium at about 1:30ish. Have checked out the stadium on line and it looks amazing. Does anyone know if the Casino is open match days.
Can't wait

Thanks

 

[Knightsworld]

I think we are going to use this option, seems good

Just hope that the local pub sells ale and not that smoothflow stuff

Booked mine

Trouble is the pub says it's couples or familys only for away fans.

The good news is we can all say we are couples anyway.

Town full of faggots, we're just a town full of faggots!

No doubt you'll be with the missus so no worries for you. I'm in a car full of blokes.

That's what I was eluding to, you can all call "coo-eee" and get in as couples :safeway2:

They have relaxed there stance on this since they (The Blackhorse) became an away fans only pub. All are welcome. I need to update my web page to reflect this. Thanks.
