Very poor regarding parking no other options near The Rico so I would recommend that the coach travel is a must. Pity for the disabled traveller but there are disabled spaces on the supermarket/retail parks adjacent. A late arrival may just enable you to see the game.
God I hate this league.

We have friends down that way and called into that massive tesco on the way one time. Happened to coincide with a home game and as we were leaving that had folk on the exits checking you'd been shopping. Now I'm not sure what they'd have done had you not been but just a warning.

Good memories of a weekend in Coventry with a girl I met at HMS Raleigh, she used to work in the hospitality at the old ground before she joined up IIRC. Went clubbing in a club that was in the middle of some shopping precinct, you had to go up an escalator to get in, bit of a dive a fair few scraps but a good night nontheless.

Never seen us play there, hopefully next season if we don't sneak up via the play offs.

I went a couple of years ago and parked on an industrial estate on the left hand side just as you come of the M6 J3, about 10 mins walk to the ground (and it was free!!).

You don't help yourself Dave, no need to call him names - just ask if he has a problem with you or even message him.

Whether that's value or not depends how quick you get out after and how much other parking there is close by.

If you get straight out and home it's only fifty bob a piece if you have a car full.

I booked last night, car park c is not an option but I booked Christ the king for £2.50, it's an 8 min walk but is on the same side of the ground as where we sit.

How odd. Other than putting the weaker willed off I'm not sure what that achieves.

Never been, if you come off the M6 do you turn left before the ground and find somewhere to park? or drive past it and find somewhere?
From what I have read you may as well get a drink in the stadium

Best bet is to follow the link Cheshunt Spireite has posted a bit further up. It takes you to the Ricoh arena carparking website. Ive pre booked for £2.50 in the Christ the King carparks which is just a short walk from the ground, the maps are on there, you print out a ticket to display on your dashboard to gain entry to the supervised carpark. It seems you'll be out of the way from the main carpark leaving crush!

All car parking was £2.50 for the London Wasps games apparently (according to a mate who went)
