Should make this for one before the game as this is our chosen route ! - How did you book your parking looked on the website but no mention ?
Coventry City fans have been invited to take the stress out of
Checkatrade Trophy final day by parking for free at Wealdstone FC.
The Conference South club – which shares a common hero in Stuart Pearce who signed for the
Sky Blues back in 1983 – is based in Ruislip, around seven miles from Wembley, and is confident of looking after up to 600 City supporters on Sunday, April 2.
It is a five-minute walk from Ruislip tube station which is a 15-minute tube ride to Wembley Park (the fare is £1.50 using a contactless card and trains go every 8-10 minutes).
The family friendly club even provides a playing area for children and will spark up a barbeque if there's enough interest for fans to get the party started ahead of the match which will see
Russell Slade 's men play either Luton Town or Oxford United.

A Wealdstone FC spokesman said: “Our car park enables coaches, mini buses and cars to park up in a secure environment and, being just off the main road down to the Polish War Memorial junction on the A40/M40, a quick get-away after the game.
“We have the added advantage that your vehicles will not have to negotiate the Wembley Stadium traffic or spend an hour getting out of their coach park.
“We always have two real ales on tap as well as a selection of lagers, ciders etc. Drink pricing is as reasonable as we can allow – around £3.50 a pint.
“We have an advantage over pubs in that ours is a family-friendly environment. Although children are allowed in the bars, we have a number of adjacent football pitches which allow kids to run around. If there are sufficient numbers our supporters club will run a barbeque.
“We’ve hosted Man City, Aston Villa, Swansea numerous times and, just this last weekend Southampton fans for the EFL Cup Final against Manchester United with a minimum of 600 of them using us as a base both pre and post match every time they’re at Wembley.
“We’ve hosted many clubs since we moved to Ruislip and all will give glowing testimonials of how they were treated.
“We do not ask for a charge to park but hope that supporters will use our facilities”.
