Post Match Exit:

Judds Lane, the main road in and out of the Arena site, is subject to road closure after each game to ensure the safe exit of fans from the stadium before vehicles are allowed to move. 

Vehicles parked on-site (A,B,C) are also held back until the safe exit of away supporter coaches that are parked on-site.

The roads will be re-opened as soon as it is possible and safe to do so - we thank fans for their co-operation.
