Have got my tickets for this game but not sure wether to drive or go club coach. With 4 of us going might be more economical to drive. I know that there is a park and ride for the ground.

Has anyone used the park and ride before ?

What was it like and were the cars as safe as parking nearer the ground ?

Thanks for any info.

I have driven to Swansea before and the Park and Ride is very close to the M4. It is perfectly safe and, although it is shared with Swansea fans we never had any problems. The only problem is that the buses from the stadium to the park and ride after the match don't have any sort of priority and consequently it took us about 30 minutes to get back to the car park.

At least on the official coaches you get an escort to the M4 and in fact last year they took us the wrong way up dual carriageways just to get us clear!

As far as cost goes, it is a 305 mile round trip - ground to ground which, at 35 miles per gallon would cost around £55 instead of the £64 the coach would cost for four people so it would be more economical by car.

Forgot to mention - Park and Ride costs about £5 per car

Yeah I can back this up. Went two years ago and the P&R made it one of the easiest drives to a game of any I've done. Cars are very safe there - it is used by many Swansea fans as well as away fans. I don't remember a long wait to get the bus back, but my memory isn't great!

Got my tickets today. It's gonna be a hell of a long drive back if we lose though!

I've just booked coach tickets for this one. I've driven to more than enough away games this year so looking forward to a relaxed journey for a change.

For those using P&R, it is indeed a good service, we used it last year and it is hassle free. The police even gave priority to getting our bus away from the ground after the game and so we were back on the motorway before most other fans.
