Car Parking arrangements for Blackwell Meadows

As part of the ground redevelopment works at Blackwell Meadows, a 250 space car park has been created and 125 of those spaces are now available for season ticket holders to purchase as a mini car parking season ticket.

A further 25 of the parking spaces are initially reserved for blue badge season ticket holders to purchase on the same mini season ticket basis. Blue Badge holders must be able to show their badge in the vehicle.

These tickets are now available and are priced at £50 for the remaining league matches and are available on a first come basis. Purchasers of the parking pass will receive priority for cup matches on a pay basis.

The club believes car parking is a choice for fans and with the club relocated back in town with excellent transport links and close connectivity to town centre parking, the car parking price will be set at £5 per game. This takes into account a share of the revenue with our landlord DRFC and also fans should remember that 20% of the income does not come to the club as it is paid out in VAT.

Parking on a match day will be very limited and the club will not be taking requests for reservations for spaces under any circumstances .

In addition we are working with the DFCSG on a car sharing initiative to reduce car travel to the ground as part of our travel plan commitments in our planning obligations . We will also be posting public transport availability and information on the club website as the date of the first game approaches.

Eligible season ticket holders can apply for Parking passes by filling in the attached application form and completing the information below . Ticket applications must be made before 25^th November 2016. The application form is below.
