Leamington FC Away

I am travelling to the game on Saturday and just wondering what the parking situation is like at Leamington if anyone has been before?

Plenty of parking, which is good as it's miles from anywhere

Is the ground nice, or is it your typical Northern Prem ground?

Lots of little stands cobbled together with a decent terrace behind both goals.
A nice little club and always good to visit despite being a trek and a half from anywhere.

Bit ramshackle, but characterful. Sight lines not brilliant, but the tea stand will do you a little selection of sweets in a paper bag like it was 1992 still.

Last time I was there a bus ran from outside the station to the ground (and back after the match).
Looking at their web site the "directions" page suggests that there might be a park n' ride service run by the club from the station - it talks about high profile matches, but also goes on to say that if this is not running then anyone travelling by train should take a cab.
Not so sure whether cabs will happily return to the ground at fiull time for the return journey though.

The minibus service page sort of suggests that it might run for every game but it is not clear bearing in mind the above.

And a smaller version of the Tin Shed down the side where the Darlo fans congregate!
