travel information re- Chorley

[anthony]

Could you get this to your Coach organisers please as there is nowhere to park around the ground, it may be that we have to get coaches to drop off away from the ground and then go to a coach park about half a mile away (on Friday Street).

My suggestion for Coaches would be as follows;

Leave M61 at Junction 8, follow signs for Chorley town centre
Drop off at Bus stop outside Chorley Train station (food outlets and pubs all within easy reach, couple of minutes walk to the ground)
Continue on by-pass, at the roundabout take first left (Lyons Lane)
Take the first left (after ASC DIY store)
Follow road to roundabout and turn right onto Friday street
Coach / Lorry park is on Friday street across from the Malt n Hops pub

Car Parking is also a real struggle in the narrow terrace streets around the ground, as such we encourage patrons to use the various council car parks in town (should be free as its bank holiday).


Entry will be Pay on the door with the following pricing;

Adult - £10
Concession (Pensioner or Student with id card) - £7
Junior (12 to 16 year old) - £5
Under 12 (must be accompanied by a paying adult) - £2
Under 8 (must be accompanied by a paying adult) - Free

Proof of age must be presented on request or full higher price will be charged

Disabled pay full price appropriate to age group, however, if they are accompanied by a registered carer (id required) the carer is granted free entry.

Unemployed pay full price appropriate to age group

Segregation will be in place at the recommendation of the local Authority and both Cumbria and Lancashire Police forces.

Away entry is via the Recreation ground which can be accessed from Pilling lane or Brindle Street.
I have been asked by Chorley to post this information for traveling Barrow fans on Easter Monday. hope it helps.


Away fans will have access to covered standing and limited seating areas, as seating is limited we respectfully request that priority is given to those with the greatest need.

There is no Car parking at the ground with limited street parking available in both Pilling lane and Brindle street, however there is a large Asda superstore nearby which has ample parking that is currently not pay and display (at time of writing).
Limited disabled parking is available by prior arrangement (contact club office by phone or e-mail), production of a valid disabled badge is required to gain access.

CCTV is in operation throughout the ground
‘Pat downs’ will be carried out and all bags checked prior to entry
Strictly no alcohol, drugs, bottles or cans allowed
Portable banners are fine as long as they are secured away from the perimeter of the pitch (not covering advertising boards), however no flags or wave able banners are allowed
Any persons found with incendiary devices such as fireworks or smoke bombs or weapons of any kind will be reported to the Police.
Smoking permitted in open area’s

Just to confirm that the coach/lorry park is further up from the Malt n Hops pub. There is a public car park opposite the pub. Coaches should carry on a short way and the lorry park is on the left just after the car park, and before the caravan dealership
