Driving to Bradford tomorrow?
We have just received the following information from Bradford City FC for supporters attending the Capital One fixture at the Coral Windows stadium tomorrow night.
Parking around the ground is extremely limited due to a controlled residential parking scheme where permits are required.
The following website highlights all the municipal car parks in Bradford City Centre and we would advise supporters to arrive early and to park at one of these sites.
It is also worth noting that roadworks on the M62 just before the Bradford junction (Jct 26) could add to your journey time.
