Looking for a bit of advise please bhoys.

I’m traveling up from Newcastle on 23rd for the Aberdeen game with my son for his first ever home match.

We will be driving up and back all in the same day so any advice as to best situation with regards parking?

I’ve never driven on match days, so not sure if it’s a definitely no-no? Would I Better parking further away and getting the train?

Cheers.

we usually park just off london road turn up by the shop just after the csc club, getting harder for spaces these days with all the new houses being built but always managed to get one up to now.

Craigarm: look up the area with Barrowfield st, get in there early 1pm and you pay the kids to "watch" you car £4 and there are plenty cars there so your car will be fine. its a 2 min walk across the road to Celtic park, and about 10 mins from the main Motorway to get you back down the road.

Hope that helps mate, safe journey and im sure you son will have a Great day.

You could try parking behind Dalmarnock station, it leaves you with a 10-15 minute walk to the ground.

If I were you I would park somewhere on/ off the road between Shawfield and Parkhead. This means you don't have far to walk after the match and you are close to the M74 for the return leg of the journey.

Craig I do the Newcastle journey on business and my advice is park in Newcastle and get the train. Last year I think it cost me £32 return which was less than ma diesel would have been. Plus it takes under an hour and a compated to 2 1/ 2 hour drive plus the weather isn't great. Enjoy the game with the wee man Craig. God Bless! ☘️.

{Ed007's Note - Can Welshy not pick them up somewhere? He'll need to ask the Mrs first right enough.....

WelshyTravel also does parking?

My mother-in-law has her lair in Baltic Street,

that early its easy enough to get parked there or the surrounding streets and then a wee walk up to paradise.

Just when you see a house made of candy, don't be tempted to eat any or you'll end up in the pot. Coincidently what has happen to all the local neds so your car will be safe. So I guess she has her uses.

If you get to Celtic Park about 12 the Kerry dale suite will be open I know ure driving but the wee man and yourself could have something to eat and listen to the singer and enjoy the pre match atmosphere you have to show your tickets to gain entry but I will stress you have to be early hope u both have a great day haul hail.

Craigarm why not travel up on the supporters bus leaving from The Irish Centre? I go up with them quite a lot. Much easier than driving.

After receiving the letter telling me I couldn't give my season to my grandson when unable to attend I then received an email (being on the home cup ticket scheme) telling me how much it would cost if I upgraded my concession so that someone else could take my place in the event of me being unable to attend!
I give in!
