Huddersfield parking.

Post by Targetman » Tue Jan 01, 2019 8:13 pm

Anyone got any tips for parking. I need to be able to get away quickly after the game and just wondered if anyone had previous experience of parking there. I normally go on the train but will be driving tomorrow.

Ive always parked near Cambridge hotel (HD1 5BS). Its about 20 min walk but if you wanna get away quick and dont mind jogging to your car its perfect.

Never driven to a night game so you may be able to get nearer

The ground itself is a nightmare. With only one way in and out seemingly.

I parked about 20 mins away. Possibly same as above. And was away in no time.

Near the railway station, there is a bit of scrubland where you can park for a few quid, it’s 15 minutes walk, I have used it twice before and it no problem,
It’s on Fitzwilliam Street

We parked on a side street where Halifax road meets Bradford road the last time we went (championship winning season) bit of a walk up the hill after the game but we got away quickly

Lots of off street parking but a good 20 minute walk away. Avoid parking near the ground it takes ages to get away after the match. Once you arrive at the car you should be on the m62 within 5 minutes

We parked down the road last year. On some companies car park about 5-10 minutes walk. It’s not an easy ground to get away from quickly.

We parked up by the Slubbers Arms (junction of Halifax old road and Bradford Road) had a decent pint then took the 15/20min walk down to ground but a quick get away once at the car after.

Let's hope this snow doesn't affect the journeys.

This is the best place to park for a quick getaway ofter the game. Avoids all the traffic chaos on Leeds road...

You might have a bit of a wait to get away from there. They shut gasworks Street /junction with St Andrews Road after the game

If you're heading to the M1 you'll be better off parking on St Andrews Road. The Turnbridge WMC is probably a better option for you. You'll get a clear run away to the M1 from there.

If you're coming from the M1 I'd suggest the St Andrews Road area. There's a section of on street parking towards Gasworks Street which is available free after 6, but it fills up quickly.

If you're coming from the M62 leave at junction 24 and head down Grimescar Road rather than the main road into town. Its a country lane but brings you out at the Slubbers. Park near there.

Avoid the Leeds road area. Its a nightmare after the game. Don't park on the B&Q. You'll take an age to get away and probably get fined for the pleasure.

If you're drinking in town I'd park on Fitzwilliam Street behind the railway station.

From Brighouse, straight down Bradford Road towards Hudds. The junction with Willow Lane/Halifax Old Road traffic lights. Turn right there and that's where the Slubbers Arms pub is. Loads of street parking there.

Reading this thread, I think it would be a good idea to resurrect the info thread for away games where people can ask for or give advice on travel, parking, places to eat and drink etc. We used to do it and it proved useful for us more than once re parking.
