Travel information
Supporters travelling by train should be aware that it is not possible to get back to Wolverhampton after the game.
Unless supporters are staying in Ipswich overnight, or heading back to the London area only, there are no options for returning to Wolverhampton after the game (unless they are prepared for a very long overnight wait at Northampton or Euston).
Those who do arrive at Portman Road by train, the station is a five-to-10-minute walk from the ground, while away coaches usually park in the West End Road car park.
There is no official stadium car park, but there is parking all around the ground. The closest is a large car park on Portman Road (right by the away end, post code IP1 2BP), though this can be full by 6.30pm for a midweek game.
Please note that the Portman Road entry/exit for this car park will be closed from 15 minutes before the end of the game until 15 minutes after the game. Vehicle access via Friars Bridge Road remains open at all times. There are also large car parks on West End Road (a five minute walk away, post code IP1 2DZ) and at the railway station (less than 10 minutes, postcode IP2 8AL). The town centre is less than 10 minutes’ walk, and has numerous car parks.
There are also several independent car parks in the area surrounding Portman Road. Wolves supporters are urged to use Just Park to find the best parking spots within walking distance to the stadium.
