Coming up from Essex for Reading with the father-in-law. Coming from the M62, for years we’ve always parked near the Old White Hart. However, he’s said he can’t walk up Wesley St anymore and wants to park nearer.
Was thinking of going into that car park at the bottom of Wesley St, right opposite the south Stand, but suspect it gets full quick. Anyone know what time we’d need to get there for to guarantee a space ?? Otherwise, not sure where to go.
And was then going to take him to Billy’s Bar, assuming it’s open to anyone/not members only?
Any help would be appreciated.

Car park near Elland Road?

I used to travel up from Chelmsford on a fairly regular basis, probably same route as you M11, A1, M62, M621.
Have tried different parking places, but for me the easiest is the car park next to the West stand (£5-6) Went to Port Vale and Preston this season and parked there again. Nice and flat and only one set of steps and your at the ground. After the Preston game I went into the shop and then back to the car I reckon I could have left fairly easily at about 5.30, but was happy sat in the car with a snack and coffee listening to BBC radio Leeds, so left at 6.00 with no traffic on Elland road at all. Just wished we had managed to beat Preston

Oh and if you want a really good start to the day there is a great roadside cafe right by the side of the A1 at Colsterworth. It's just south of Grantham, so it's about half way,
One of the best fry ups I've ever had.
Here's hoping to a change of fortunes after the last couple of games. Have a good trip

If you Leave a couple of minutes before the end you will get out of the club car parks no problem,

But you run the risk of not seeing any last minute goals...

Billy's is easy to get in these days. Be careful buying though. I paid £6 for a pint and a half then noticed the sign saying two pints for £6.

Also we park behind the West Stand which is £6 and easy access. However it's a nightmare getting out. Go for another drink after or take a flask and leave it in the car.
Enjoy!

Cheers guys. All helpful.
My tickets arrived today ..free through Sky VIP, in L39 East Stand Upper.
Surprised to see that we also got match-day hospitality meal and free programme in the Allan Clarke Executive Suite, Centenary Pavillion. Wow!
Only thing that’s strange is that I can’t see any mention of the Clarke Suite anywhere on google, never mind the LUFC website !?!?

Do these people leave before the end of movies also?
I don't understand this mentality unless there is a big goal difference, which you obviously cannot plan beforehand.
