Cross the road (so that you are outside Admiral Insurance) and turn left.
Follow the pavement. It will eventually curve left (past Delilah’s Café and Bar). This will bring you out near the Market Arcade and Popadom’s Indian Restaurant.
Turn left and follow the road to the end.
At the end of the road you will see a staircase on your right. Go down the stairs and through the underpass which will bring you out at Clarence Street Bridge.

PRIOR TO KICK-OFF
Join County in the Community in the marquee prior to kick-off tomorrow where young Exiles can take part in a variety of activities. Those activities include table football and other sporting activities.
PARKING
There are several public car parks in the City Centre within a short walking distance of Rodney Parade. There is also plenty of parking on the streets near the stadium - please be aware of local parking restrictions.
Please note: there is no parking inside Rodney Parade.
FOOD & DRINK
There are food kiosks and burger stands located in the stadium concourse where you can purchase food and drink. However, please note that any purchases within the stadium are card only.
CLUB SHOP
Our VX3 club shop is conveniently located in Friars Walk Shopping Centre in the City Centre, just a 5-10 minute walk from Rodney Parade.
Additionally, we have a smaller club shop next to the ticket office at Rodney Parade, ideal for matchday shopping. Please note that the Rodney Parade shop can get busy on matchdays and may feel crowded for those who prefer more spacious environments.
PICK UP A MATCHDAY PROGRAMME
No matchday experience would be complete without a match programme. Our official matchday programme ‘The Exile’ can be purchased from our dedicated sellers in the club shop, outside the stadium, and inside the ground.
Programmes are priced at £2.
KICK-OFF
Our first home match of the 2024-25 season kicks off at 3pm on Saturday.
To all the fans attending Saturday’s match, please be warned that in preparation for this fixture we have made several changes to the build up to kick-off.
One of these changes is a particularly loud siren which signals that the players are in the tunnel and ready for action. For any fans who may be alarmed by the sound of the siren it is scheduled to play roughly four minutes before kick off (2:56pm).
See you at RP, Exiles!
