There is a carpark on the Justpark app at Citipark Church WD18 0BU.
This is 8 minutes walk from the ground and costs just £3.94.
Other parking slightly nearer ranges from £12.00 upwards.

I’m on someone’s drive about 15 mins walk away but you could book to park in sainsburys but reviews said you’re gambling on their being space as you don’t get a guaranteed spot even if you book.

There are a few schools that offer parking for around £10. Side roads near the ground are permit only and you will get a ticket if you park there. Parking attendants everywhere. Multi-storey in town centre is not a bad option as gives you plenty of drinking/eating options. There’s a designated away pub 5 mins from ground called Oddfellows but it’s quite small

On my drive and the short train ride to Watford Junction for me... where I will be collected by my Watford supporting colleague and taken into town. There are occasional perks to living in the south east...

I'm on the Euston line and for once they appear to be working.... Lift with the Watford supporting friend will be fine as long as we dont win and he goes without you!

I'm trying to work out how I wear my big coat with a CFC badge on it in the Watford section!

My Hornet friend is very laid back, he always drives to games so already has his parking sorted, I've already checked he's happy to be seen with me when I will be dressed in blue or green. He was my Plan B for a ticket in the home end, (I luckily got logged in at 0900 that Friday morning) he happily said he hopes I enjoy my visit to Vic Rd, until he realised that would mean HIS team losing.... honestly, just seeing us score will be good for me...anything more would be fantastic....it's getting harder not to get carried away with us being top of the table...my immediate friends and family are starting to glaze over when ever I warm to my theme...

..and if I do miss my lift home... it's 3 buses via Luton for me... but doable in about 2.5 hours... or just persuade my other half to collect me from somewhere closer to home than Watford...

Mine is 6ft 5 and a colleague - and I am in the home end so his size may come in handy to protect me if we do score. He is also our group security manager :)

2.5 hours by bus!! If all goes wrong, get on a train to Hemel and I'll drop you somewhere to meet your other half, we are heading out for something to eat and a film in Hatfield I think after the game so can detour round via Luton...

Thanks for this offer, I can also get home via Hatfield and Stevenage...it makes no odds time wise...just a bit circuitous...there's nothing direct...
I had hoped for a celebratory drink post game if we win....but my lift will probably have other ideas...

Thanks for the recommendation. Just booked it 1-6pm £4.00, a bargain 👍

We’ve done 12-6 for £4.75….just hoping the “open barrier” button on the app works!
