Cardiff also have an ‘Away Family Parking Area’ which relates to the 125-seat away family section inside the stadium and is £5 a car. You need to contact Watford FC for more information on this area and to purchase your space.

Programme: £3

Where to eat:There is a retail park directly next to the stadium where there is a Greggs, Subway and Costa. A McDonalds is also currently being built on the site,

Where to drink:There are no new pubs close to the stadium and the home fans usually occupy the majority of the pubs nearby and away fans are encouraged to stay away. Your best bet is to drink in the many bars in the city centre.
