Hi, Where is the best place to park for home games? I have always parked at the Tigers ground, however i'm not sure if there is anywhere closer?

morrisons car park is reasonably close yet a bit dear, takes less time to escape too. there is a back yard of some factory down by old filbo which you used to be able to park in, not sure now
Under the bridge near the Car place is a start, but you need to get there pretty early, there is also down the roads before the bridge where the kebab shop is, there is also on the grass behind the bus stop on the right as your coming from the bridge, you need to go up the curb though, not sure if there is posts there now.
Other places are in the Leicester City Ground Car Park which i use, there is Staples which is about a £10 i think. Hope that helps.

The more nearer you go...the longer the get away. I can't think of a decent idea. If it's the case that you have bust a leg or something like that and you went to get nearer give the club a ring. See what they can do in regards to a spot.
A good 15 minute walk but when we used to park...top of Narborough Rd sidestreets. Get away easy to.

Unless you leave early, expect a good 30 minutes delay. The Police escort the away fans at that crossroads.

It depends on which end of the city you live for your getaway? I always find drinking loads locally then getting your mrs in her 7 seater to drop you and your mates outside staples about 2.55pm quite an amicable arrangement

I did a sponsored walk of 20 miles at Stoke Mandeville in 1982. Do I win £5?

All the Industrial units around the Freemen's Common square give their car parks for £3 or £4 for charity if you want to feel good about yourself as well. Used to park on the road there but occasionally saw broken windows/mirrors on the way back so put it off street now.
To clarify I use to walk 2 1/2 miles to the GROUND from my parents house.

I used to walk further than that to work every day :icon_roll
I've walked 6 miles to a home match before, Bernie would have people believe he regularly walks further than that.
I used to park on Freeman's common regularly before all the new developments there, until my car got broken into during a match - along with about 10 others all parked nearby. The wankers obviously knew we wouldn't be back for a while.
The only occasion I've parked there recently it took about an hour to get out so I won't be doing it again.
