Directions
The stadium is located in the Foleshill area to the north of the city.
Leave (or cross?) the M6 at Junction 3. Take the A444 towards Coventry and at the first island go left. You will see the Ricoh Arena on your right.
There is a Park + Ride service available from Whitley in the south of Coventry near the A45/A46 junction; people who can approach from that direction might find it useful - details here.
There are also some official Park + Walk car-parks near the ground - details here.
There are various unofficial car-parks, which seem to charge the same £5 as the official ones, but little street parking. It's also worth looking at this site for a nearby car-park which many City fans used last season.
Be warned that Wolves took a large number of fans on their first visit to the Ricoh. Many of them left their journey until too late and 'abandoned' their cars on verges on roads around and at some distance from the ground - they all got parking tickets!! So arrive early and park properly!
If anybody wants a lift from and to Stoke-on-Trent, please pm me.
Trains
There are no services back to Leicester after the game.
Pubs
Try Longford Road. map (Ground is off Judds Lane. You can walk to Longford Road along the nearby canal towpath)
Away Supporters Facilities
Jewson South Stand. It's fairly steeply raked which usually means that you would be close to the action - but not here! - there's a cinder track between the pitch and the stands.
Accoustics are said to be better than at the Walkers (and not only by the Cov fans) so we should be able to make ourselves heard.
Normal range of football ground food, including a chicken balti pie. Look out for cheaper 'pie + pint' offers.
Stewards allegedly very hot on people standing!
