With a large attendance anticipated for our Vanarama National League North fixture versus Scunthorpe United on Saturday 23^rd November we are putting in place revised parking and transport arrangements for this match to ensure that everyone wishing to attend the game is able to do so.

It is anticipated that Scunthorpe United will bring 500-600 fans so the sheer logistics of that means we have to segregate fans from a crowd management perspective. With over 700 Leamington fans attending each of our last two home games plus heightened interest in the game, we anticipate a crowd in the region of 1500+. That means there is no way that we can accommodate parking on site for everyone who wishes to come to the game at our facility.

For those coming to the Your Co-op Community Stadium for the first time, please note that although there is ‘ON-SITE’ parking for approximately 370 vehicles, there is NO alternative ‘on-street parking’, as we are located on a busy country road with no pavements and surrounded by farmland.

We have put in place an extensive FREE Park & Ride service, details of which are outlined below.  In addition there will be a similar free bus service operating from Leamington Railway Station to and from the ground.

The additional costs re: segregation, and particularly the provision of the FREE Park & Ride Service, has led the Board of Directors to make the difficult decision for the first time ever to charge £5 per car for parking on site. We are asking supporters of both sides to help with travel and parking by using the bus services or by car sharing, where possible.

We ask all supporters attending the game to either arrive a little bit earlier than usual or give themselves additional time to utilise the Park & Ride service. PRIORITY will be given to departure of bus services from the stadium site at the conclusion of the match.

ON-SITE CAR PARKING - £5 per car

For those that wish to park onsite then you will need to purchase a ticket in advance of the match via our online ticketing site. Tickets for parking will go on sale at midday on Monday 18 November.
