Arsene Titman Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I’m hearing that my usual go to establishment for pre match car parking and a beer is closed and will be housing asylum seekers. Is the Station Inn on Midland Road open for business these days? Any suggestions gratefully received. A free , or cheap,parking venue combined with access to a beer would be ideal, if highly unlikely.

I drive to the hotel,have one pint of lager at 2p.m. and walk to the ground at 2.30. I watch the game, including having a half time coffee, walk back to my car and drive home. hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's open, but it's a designated away pub. Get the NCP app, park in either their Siddals Road or Liversage Street car park (it'll be less than a fiver for 2-6pm) have a pint at the Alex, walk to the stadium in about 20 minutes. After the game, you can get out onto London Road and away very easily. Edited February 11, 2023 by Crewton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can get very busy and there's a small chance of you having to wait for others to leave before you can, but I've never witnessed any issues. sage and Reggie Greenwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsene Titman Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 Thanks to you all ( apart from Pistold Pete, obviously)for taking the trouble to respond. For info, I was parking and having a beer at the Aston Court Hotel pre match but that is now to be filled up with asylum seekers. Adjacent hotels the Midland and the Station (formerly the European ) are also housing asylum seekers. Parking wise, I can park between 5pm and 8a.m. at the former D.R.I. for £2 so that covers night matches. Otherwise it’s £4.70 for 4 hours at other times of day.

Boycie Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 The Furnace pub a little further out has a massive free car park. Also lays on a bus to the match and back for £5. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I've started parking at Darwin Place. A few quid for parking, then either a steady 20 min stroll to the ground, or jump on the Tap bus after a pint. Quick getaway afterwards, straight onto the A52.
