At the next roundabout Home Base is on the left and Sainsburys is straight on - it is normal for a security guard to be on patrol on match days, so you may get turned away. The Plas Coch pub is on your right, along with ALDI's and other outlets. Parking is normally free with no restrictions but do not park in ALDI's as they operate a clamping policy. It does get busy after the match, so prepare yourself for a 10-15 minute delay, especially with attendances over 4,000 and with a large away following.
