    The club are selling parking for a tenner - don’t mind paying it - but is there a time they are closing it prior to the main event?

    I’d be looking to get there as the undercard is starting or maybe just after. Due to my knackered knee I can’t walk all that far to be hugely further away - I could manage a fair stroll but not too much - I can’t find anything about the terms of the club’s parking for Saturday and I know for football they close the car park half an hour before ko

    Is a taxi not an option? I wouldn’t park in the car park for a gold pig but a tenner wow, total exploitation!

    The price of parking for the celebrity match at the weekend and this boxing match makes me very worried about the highly secret parking charges for the upcoming season

    You have to park up before 2.30pm and then the gates are locked until 3 hours after event finishes.

    I think you'd have no issues parking at that time. The stadium was reasonably empty until about the 4th or 5th fight last year, so I'd imagine the car park stays open until well into the event, but I couldn't say for certain.

    I do. Got the Mrs, our son and his GF with us.

    He passed his driving test last week so I’d consider making him drive but we wouldn’t comfortably fit in his little car.

    Just go steady if you do park in the club carpark. If there is no staffing at its a free for all, you could be in there until gone midnight trying to get out.

    based round my experiences at the last fight night you will probably find its organised better than a footy match, proper security and stewards and car park staff its all done by Boxxer

    I’d be cautious there will be a lot of drunk people, I was sober at the last fight and I’d never seen as much ale drank, queued for over an hour for a bottle of Fanta

    Why don't you park up near the Outpost pub ,and get a taxi if your struggling ,it would certainly be similar to the car parking fee.
