Please could you arrange to park away from the stadium footprint for all 3G usage and/or Foundation sessions. Please also be mindful there will be increased traffic in the surrounding area and increased security on entry to the stadium. Play Zone, as previously explained, is completely out of bounds for parking, irrespective of the matchday and/or timings.
