Fill in the details from your home postcode to Shrewsbury Town FC here for a full route plan www.theaa.com/travelwatch/planner_main.jsp but for an edited version;

Approx. 195 miles; 3 hours 30 minutes.

Sat. Nav. SY2 6ST 
 
Quickest route will take you through the M6 Toll, up to you if you want to avoid it.

At the end of the M54 continue onto the A5. After about seven miles, there is a traffic island which is at the junction with the A49. Bear left at this island still following the A5.

At the next roundabout take the 3rd exit onto the B
4380 (Thieves Lane). Continue along Thieves Lane going straight over two roundabouts and this will lead you into Oteley Road.

You will reach the stadium down further down Oteley Road on the left.

There is a large car park at the stadium, holding almost 700 cars, however, this is for permit holders only (although we have received reports of fans turning up early and being admitted for £7).

Parking is prohibited in the nearby Retail Park and nearby streets, so to find some street parking you may have to drive a bit further away. Check though for any parking restrictions detailed on posts, before parking up.


Otherwise there is a car park that did cost £5 at the Brooklands Hotel, or for the same price at Prichards Van Hire, opposite the hotel.

Alternatively you can use the Park & Ride scheme operated by the Club. This was £2 per person and commences at 12.30 on Saturdays & 17.30 for evening matches.

It operates from Shire Hall (but not the nearby Meole Brace which is a park & ride for the town centre). It is located off the A5 (just take the A5064 towards the town centre) and at the roundabout with Lord Hill's Column, take the 3rd exit and then first right into the car park. There have been reports of delays in getting back to you car after the match (in some cases up to 40 minutes) so bear this in mind.

For any fans wanting to make a full day of a Saturday at Shrewsbury, we recommend the use of the Meole Brace Park & Ride site. It is only a 10-15 minute walk from the ground and is well signposted from the A5. For a £1 per passenger (return ticket), people can park at the site, catch a bus into Shrewsbury town centre, find plenty of food and drink outlets, and then catch a return bus back to the site.

Journey time between 10-15 minutes depending on traffic volumes. Please note that parking is provided for those using the Park & Ride and not for matchday parking.
