    Anyone know the best place to park for free? I'm taking my six year old to his first match v the Shrews so i dont want a long walk. Not expecting a big crowd so i'll just use the official parks if i have to. The wife normally drops me off on route to the white rose centre.

    I have parked there many times, it is a good place to park, the parking area runs all round the back from one side to the other <ok> One tip though, if you get there early ensure you park in a place that you can't possibly be parked in. Happened to me once and I was sat there waiting for 45 minutes which I wasn't happy about.

    LS11 8AX pop that postcode into Google map then select street view, scroll right and down the road. Go over the traffic lights and onto the 6110 and a couple more zoom forwards and you can clearly get a look at the car park <ok>

    Thread about parking in Leeds with no-one from Leeds commenting on it. <laugh> Only at this club.

    Sorry mate, don't drive so can't give you an answer. Drysalters looks a good bet though. Used to park by the side of the West Stand when I went with my dad as a young 'un about a decade ago, but it was always expensive.

    If you're from York, might as well just take the train really? Have a couple of cans on the way down, take the same amount of time and introduce your lad to the magic of rail transport on the way to the footie.
