Help needed please.

Can anybody give me some advice please on parking anywhere near the ground. If I got to cowbridge rd by 11am, coming from Reading where would you suggest I park up. Got two of my boys with me age 6 and 10 so can't walk for miles but was even thinking of cathedral rd.

I know I'm coming from Reading but I am a Cardiff fan and cant wait for Sunday.
As a side not, if we did cock this up I wouldn't be able to go to work for a month as the Berkshire posh boys will rib me something rotten.

Thanks for any help on parking.

You could always go to the carpark just opposite the Ground if you're there early enough. They usually charge eight pound. Hope you and your boys enjoy the day.

A couple of council car parks just off Cowbridge Rd and they dont charge on Sundays, one behind Tesco, if there is not an empty space just wait 5 minutes and loads of Chinese traders come and go

Canton tends to be a nightmare for parking on matchdays. I usually park in Daisy Street near Victoria Park. Postcode CF5 1EP will get you there. You'll always find a space and it's only about a 20 minute walk from the ground.

Thanks for your help everyone. I knew daisy street as a kid as once lived of Victoria park and had a mate that lived there. Think I can remember how to get there, may be via that car park behind tescos. Think I know where that is.

Cardiff has changed so much over the years. I used to park in the Maltings pub car park after having a few swiftys but led to believe it's been gone years ago.

Thanks for your help and yes my boys can't wait.

Cheers mate, will Google maps it and come into canton via cathedral rd. Hopefully get there by 10.30am so will get enough time to seek out a place.

Thanks again all.

P.s. if we do win I'll be ten foot tall in work on Tuesday as work with 7 Berkshire posh boys that are season ticket holders.
