Stuniverse Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Apologies if this has been asked before, but where are the best places to park on matchdays for games at Pride Park Stadium? I’m asking for a friend who has tickets for the Burton Albion game. I have a season ticket in Car Park A and find myself unable to advise him as I’ve never needed to pay attention to alternative parking. Many thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions.

jimtastic56 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Parked at the British Rail offices at the top of Ascot drive for the last home game . It was half empty . No wonder £10 Stuniverse and Tyler Durden 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 If he likes a stroll along the river, the GrandRiver Suite on Meadow Road is perfect for a fiver. Loads of space and you sometimes get the colourful spectacle of an Asian wedding thrown in for free. Boycie and Stuniverse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Darwin Place a bit further along. £3-£4 for the duration and good access back onto A52/M1/A38 Plenty of car parks closer to the ground on the industrial estates but you really need to leave 5-10 mins before the end of the match or wait half hour afterwards as the roads are chocker with fans and cars.

Beetle Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Park for free at Alvaston park and walk up by the river Stuniverse and sage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Ram Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I usually park on the estate next to the Audi garage. £5 and right next to the ground. Bit of a pain to get out sometimes as they direct all traffic over the bridge towards Ascot drive but that's my preference. Or.. if you fancy a pint before/after then park at Derbion and catch the Neptune shuttle bus to the game, only £2/3 for a return. Parking fee was about £5 last time I did that and you miss all the traffic on the way out because it's straight on to the A52.

Tyler Durden Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I used to get to the ground early and park on the road for free around the Meadow Lane area in Chadd then walk across the footbridge. Was difficult getting out sometimes at the end of the game but guess that would be the same wherever you parked. Stuniverse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Keep away from the Pride Park area, unless you’re happy to leave 15 mins before like @David does. Watch him deny or ignore it. Stuniverse and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I use the 'myparkingspace' website to pre-book a spot either at the Premier Inn, Derby East on - I think it's called - Wyvern Industrial Estate, or at Wickes on London Road. The latter having the not inconsiderable benefit of a fantastic chippy on the way back through towards home. Both cost around £5.50 including the booking charge. hintonsboots and Stuniverse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Parking has got harder and harder over the years. It will continue to put off fans coming to games. Stuniverse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmoram1995 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 At the back of the arena there’s lots of industrial units for £5 you can park pretty much anywhere it’s right next to Mezzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah is that why? I’d assumed there’d been some bother (there was some aggro near Costco after the Bolton game if I recall) - seems odd that they can’t or won’t set a limit as it’s an easy earner for them you’d think 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickes it is then in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
