I must admit, I clicked the link expecting to read about fans returning to their cars to find them sat on bricks.

On Bricks !!, you must be one of the lucky ones, it could have been nicked and found burnt out in Wigan

Thanks for this.

Where is the best place to park at Knowsley Road then? Are there any official car parks?

A lot of areas off Knowsley Road and some of the surrounding roads have been having cones put out to stop people parking there - not that it works last week I saw 2 cars both parking inbetween the cones




Side streets off Dunriding Lane are still ok as far as I am aware, it is where we have parked and no problems yet. If you want a proper car park the best bet is to go to De Le Salle school which offers parking for about £5 ( Mill Brow, Eccleston, St Helens, WA10 4QH ) which is about a 5 minute walk away from the ground.

They appear to be targeting the roads in the immediate vicinity of the ground, so suggest parking about 10-15 mins away and walking - Alder Hey Road is a good possibility - and pop into Greenhalls Club for a beer!

No official car park you can access w/o a permit I believe.

Thanks for your replies. I dont mind a bit of a walk.

I'm not even sure its that - I certainly haven't had any leaftets when parking directly opposite the ground off Dunriding Avenue.

I've just posted [url=http://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/4213618.Parking_crackdown_ahead_of_big_match/this link[/url on the original thread.

It is from the St. Helens Star.

P.S. click on the link in my sig for Greenalls Club website

De le salle school is the best place to park probably, I've done it every time I've been there.

Furthest you will be walking Friday night is to and from the fridge from the sofa!!

If you come off the East Lancs Road, (A580) at Tescos, turn left there and then first right - this is called Bleak Hall Road. Stay on this road for about a mile and a half. The road then turns sharp right and there is a turning on the left - take that turning and you will pass the school on the left which charges a couple of quid to park but it can be a pain to get out of. If you pass the school, the ground is about three hundred yards further on. Turn your car round so you are ready for a quick getaway and park at the side of the road. the road is wide enough and shouldnt upset anyone. We have used this location for the past five visits and had no problem and also a quick getaway.
