Re: Car parking advice Newcastle

Just off the main carriageway leading tin st james’ Park, with the ground at 11 O’Clock so to speak, there are a number of streets to your left. We parked there FOC in 2015, facing away from the ground which was a good move. We were away quickly and it was a 10 minute walk from the away end.
