A question i was going to ask too . I live around 30 miles from the ground so have no option but to drive in to every home game. I think i am right in saying the primary school is opening up its grounds for parking ( for a small fee).
But as for street parking i am not sure,need to get fairly close as i am bringing some mates and one struggles with walking due to needing a new hip.
Any local knowledge would be grateful please.

The proposed solution was to use Westgate Primary School for parking, although as its the first game i'm not sure what will happen.

....or alternatively you could drive to the York - plenty of parking round the pub then catch the bus down to the ground that will be parked outside. You can even get it back afterwards.

lots of street parking. just go over the bridge and then either left or right. left onto Buckingham Road and the attached streets. or right and first left onto Albert Road and all the streets surrounding Regent Park.
