HI! I just bought tickets for he Bournemouth game and it's my first home game for a few years. Yes I know, I'm a glory hunter :D

Having not been to PR for a while I would appreciate advice on where best to park these days. Ideally on the right side of the ground to make a quick getaway into Norfolk after hopefully enjoying a Luke Chambers fist pump!

There's plenty parking in Portman Road directly opposite the Cobbold Stand BUT I suggest you avoid that as it can be hell to get out of at the end of a match. I use the multi-storey at the Railway Station. It's only a 5 minute walk to the ground, comparitively easy to get out of and on Good Friday will cost you £2.70.

Actually another option if you don't mind a slightly longer walk would be South Street as it gives you quick access on to the Norwich Road. Downside is that it holds just 54 cars. Have a look at the car parking info on www.ipswich.gov.uk

As its a bank holiday you will get away with parking in sainsburys at the bottom of hadleigh road with a 5 min walk to PR.

Useful responses (on the whole :wink: )

Reckon the railway station sounds like the best option.

Can't wait for the game :mrgreen:
