Travelling down by car on Saturday. Does anyone know the best place to park ?

Never been before, but there seems to be 4-5 NCP's nearby. I am going to try for the larger one on Turret Lane. Looks about a 10-15 minute walk away ish.

A quick look found this for £5 and it's under ten minutes walk from the ground

I've presaved a spot on the car park of the Station Hotel. This is the designated away fans pub as well. Just a short walk from the ground.

Station Hotel fully booked unfortunately

£4.50 just over half a mile away

Preferably park between the white lines.

Just booked that thanks

Last time we played there the coaches parked on a car park between the Station pub and the ground. Will try to find the name of it.

That pub looks very convenient for those of us on the train!

There was a pub called Monkey something last time we went on the train but someone said it has closed down since we last went

Plenty of pubs in Ipswich, no problem.

We’re parking at the station hotel, will grab a beer in there.

A few minutes from the ground

Wherever you choose to park within 15 mins walking distance of the ground be prepared for a long delay getting away (I include The Station Hotel in that comment). Ipswich is a nightmare to get into and out of on match days, certainly from the south and west. If you arrive in the area early enough it might be worth considering the Park & Ride at Copdock at the junction of the A14/A12, it's 3 miles from the ground but the service is generally good.

In reply to COC1882's earlier post, The Drum and Monkey closed down a couple of years ago.

Copdock Park and Ride is a good suggestion also there is a large multi-storey at the Railway Station but it’s expensive. Agree with above on match days Ipswich is clogged and even for locals difficult for parking. Think Ipswich expect a crowd above 20,000

The recommended coach and car park for visiting supporters is the West End Road car park. It's 3 minutes from the away pub (The Station) and 5 minutes from the ground.
