" BORO FANS COMING TO CARDIFF "

Its expected that up to 1,000 Boro fans will make the long trip to South Wales (600 mile round trip)

Away Fan Guide: Cardiff City

Cardiff City Stadium

If you’re making the trip to the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday, here’s all the key information for the visit to south Wales, including how to get there, parking and more.




Travel

By car:

From the motorway, leave the M4 at junction 33 and take the A4232 towards Cardiff/Barry. Exit the A4232 onto the B4267 turn off signposted towards Cardiff City Stadium.

Follow the slip road off the B4267, take the second available exit off the roundabout on to Hadfield Road and then take the third left into Bessemer Road.

Stadium address:
Cardiff City Stadium
Leckwith Road
Cardiff
CF11 8AZ
Travel to the end of Bessemer Road and at the traffic lights, turn left onto Sloper Road. Continue down Sloper Road and turn left (next to the HSS Hire Shop) to access the away supporters car park.

There will be Electronic Vehicle Management signage and brown football signage to help guide you to Cardiff City Stadium from the M4 onwards.

Please be aware that following a Sat Nav may direct you through the city centre, which will add at least 30 minutes to your journey. Toll on the Severn Bridge is £6.70 for a car, £13.40 for a small bus (not exceeding 17 seats) and £20 for a coach.

By train:

Fans should take a direct train to Grangetown Station from Cardiff Central Station, with a half hourly service to Grangetown Station which is approximately one mile from Cardiff City Stadium.

Supporters are advised not to transfer via Canton Station.

Taxi from the train station:

A taxi from the train station to the stadium costs between £5 and £10.

Cardiff City Stadium’s recommended taxi service is Dragon Taxis – 029 2033 3333

Bus:

A matchday shuttle service runs between the city centre and the stadium every 20 minutes. After the game, buses pick up from the Fred Keenor statue – the first of them are five minutes after the final whistle and subsequently up to an hour after the end of the match.

Parking

There is an away parking area located in the away compound of Cardiff City Stadium, which can be accessed via Sloper Road (next to the HSS Hire Shop).

Tickets cost £8 per car. There is parking for coaches, disabled supporters and a limited number of spaces for fans who arrive early (immediately adjacent to the away turnstiles).

Further parking for away supporters is available at Bessemer Road’s Wholesale Market car park for £5, which is less than a five-minute walk from Cardiff City Stadium.





Tickets

All away fans should enter the stadium via entrance 12, which is situated off Sloper Road next to HSS Hire.


How to use your ticket to get into the stadium:

Check your ticket for your turnstile number
Have your ticket ready on approaching your turnstile

Severn bridge toll prices are wrong, it’s been reduced since then. They shouldn’t use it if coming from the north anyway, m50 route best.
