[sligoman]

Where is the ground exactly and where is the nearest (safest;)) parking place?

Take Tallaght exit of M50 and then go right. Keep going straight and you can't miss it. There's a car park at the ground but don't know how big it is. Plenty of parking in the Square across the road. I'd park on level 2 as level 3 can be a bit dodgy, although I haven't been there in years admitedly.

Cheers for the info Dman

Also, presumably the shopping centre will be closed by the time the match is over so does the car park too or is that open late?

The shopping centre is open til 9, the car park is open 24 hours.

There's a cinema there so I'd say it's open late. I never remember any barriers in the car park either but as I said it's been ages since I've been there.

Hotel car park across the road would actually be better to park in though.

It should be no bother parking in the square. Carpark outside the cinema is the closest to the ground, there's a taxi rank there too so there's always people around. If you park in one of the quieter areas I'd make sure to take down any sligo pendants or anything, there'll always be a few idiots around and no point tempting them. The car park behing the hotel should be open too, it's not that big though and they might have attendants moving people on if they're not there for shopping (it's the car park for Woodies and Lidl too).

If you're coming in the Naas rd (which you probably aren't) the Red Cow luas "park n go" costs €4 for the day

Another option is to park around at the Luas stop side of the square. Its at level two and you'll have to walk around the square to get up to the ground but as its on the side of tesco and that opens late (to midnight or 24 hours, I'm not sure- it changed recently) and the Luas runs until well after midnight.

EDIT; just checked, Tesco is open until 12. Either way you were fine

[oldyouth]

There is always a bunch of 12yr olds available in the area to valet park for you;)

[redobit]

Is there any bars nearby?

[Dodge]

The bars at the Plaza hotel are probably nearest

[Buller]

The Maldron is across the road.

LOL, totally forgot about that. Always painst thinner in woodies too

[blackholesun]

There is no parking for away fans at the stadium, Id expect the Maldon car park to be choc-a-bloc unless you get there about 4. You could try parking at the Square or the Plaza hotel.

Traffic is heavy near the stadium on Friday evenings normally and could be mental but loadza people trying to park for the game.

Id strongly recommend any Sligo or Rovers fans to leave your car in the Luas Park and Ride at the Red Cow and get the tram up to the stadium. Tram comes every 5 mins and will take about 10 minutes to get up. Id bet that this is the most hastle free way to do it.

On the way back from the ground, trams leave Tallaght every 20 minutes after 10pm on weeknights.

Is there a taxi rank nearby?? we like to travel in style!! ;)

[mypost]

There is, but a taxi will be little use through the traffic. The meter will be used though. :D

With agreement of the Square and Tallaght Gardai, public parking will be available at the Square on the N81 side of the centre. It is advised to approach this carpark from the Garda station (Belgard Road) entrance to the Square.

For all spectators parking in the Square and also for those coming by public transport (bus or luas), the club would encourage fans to use the blue footbridge to cross the N81 carriageway from The Square side to the Stadium side and the reverse when leaving. The Whitestown Way/N81 junction will be heavily congested and we encourage use of the footbridge for safety as well as to assist a swift entrance and departure of fans.
