Swansea away pubs & parking!!

Post by mattyj3nks »

Hi all,

There are a few of us going to Swansea away by car.

I can't really find any pubs which would welcome away fans.

Does anyone know where would be best for us to park and go for pre match drinks?

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks
Matt

No idea about parking but away pubs, within walking distance of the ground anyway, are basically non-existent. We ended up in the Harvester at the opposite end of the stadium to where the away section is.

One of the worst away days out, this one.

At least if its a Harvester I've got half a chance of getting a beer with the kids in tow?

Anyone else heading there beforehand?

Does the Harvester actually allow away fans or do you just make that not known?

Cheers bud. I'll head for there. PM me if you're up for meeting for a pint. Would be good to see the face behind the megaphone :D

last season i parked across the road from the ground, if you head to the ground you wont miss the car park, was about £5, also 5 mins walk from, the ground there was a KFC for some grub if u want it, then was a pub right next to the ground (harvester mentioned above) for home and away fans and they also had a canopy outside and a tent thing selling pints as it gets very busy,

Is that a company car park? i see just outside of that car park there is a part on the road which isnt double yellow lines so could always park on street there.

I will probably just drink in Central Swansea, Wind St or by the station and get a cab or a bus to the ground. Easier.
