PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION VERY CAREFULLY...
!!THERE IS NO PARKING ON-SITE AT THIS EVENT!!
CLFDE recommends using the ample car parks near to GCAFC, around the Quays area. One great thing to note about this event, is that it coincides with the last day of the Christmas Market in the Quays. Why not make a whole day of this fantastic opportunity?! Once finished at the Christmas Market, it’s only a 5-minute walk out of the Docks, across the road to the stadium (down Sunmeadow
For those visitors with laudable green credentials, or for those who fancy a drink (and waking up complete with their driving licences 😉), the ground really is only a short walk from the Quays, or if coming from the City centre, there are regular No 8 and No 11 Stagecoach bus services from the Bus Hub to various stops within a minute or two’s walk from the stadium.
There will be the facility to allow drop-off for taxi/minibus/private car disabled passengers, but it will be a fair way back down toward Sunmeadow Road. The roads will be very busy with vehicular traffic – be very careful out there!
