Parking information for fans ahead of St Helens V Wigan game

A BIG crowd is to descend on the Totally Wicked Stadium for tonight’s Saints V

A BIG crowd is to descend on the Totally Wicked Stadium for tonight's Saints V Wigan derby, expected to be a home sell-out.

Fans heading to this evening's Super League clash will be able to use the council-run town centre car parks for free.

Fans are also advised that the Tesco car park, adjacent to the Totally Wicked Stadium, has seen the time limit been cut to two hours.

However, supporters can park for free on the majority of town centre car parks ahead of matchday at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

With the match heading for a home sell-out, the stadium area will be busy - and fans should give themselves sufficient time to get to the game.

The following council-run surface car parks and all pay and display locations will be free to use from 5.45pm for matchday parking:

The only chargeable council-operated car park is the Tontine multistorey carpark in Exchange Street – which normally closes shortly after Church Square Shopping Centre at 6pm.

This will be accessible throughout the season at a charge of £1.50 per vehicle (payable at the P&D machines by cash or card) to cover operating costs.

Tontine car park will be locked promptly at 11pm.

Any vehicles remaining on Tontine car park after this time will be securely locked in overnight and can be collected from 8am the following morning at no extra charge.

Pedestrian access from/to Tontine car park will be via the external staircase only on Chalon Way, making this an unsuitable car park for anyone with mobility problems.

Please note that the free parking offer does not apply at the World of Glass Museum, close to the stadium, which is operated privately.
