GETTING TO THE GROUND

The stadium is 2.5 miles from the center. Take Bus 4 or 4A from the bus station (15 mins) or use the Park & Ride from Felindre (M4 J46).

Warning: Walking from the train station takes 35-40 minutes. The Park & Ride is the most convenient option for fans traveling by car.

Away fans are located in the North Stand. Entry is via the dedicated visitor turnstiles. Views are unrestricted and legroom is excellent.

PROHIBITED ITEMS

  • Bags larger than A4
  • Professional cameras
  • Pyrotechnics
  • Video cameras
  • Bottles/Cans

CRITICAL

Bags larger than A4 are not permitted. Pyrotechnics are strictly banned and will result in refused entry. Alcohol is served until half-time.

Exit routes & evacuation

Designated Park & Ride buses collect away fans from Rossi's on Neath Road directly opposite the away end.

Exit via the main rear gates of the North Stand directly onto Neath Road for shuttle buses and dispersal.
