Shrewsbury Game on New Years Day (3 Viewers)

[captainralph2003]

Hi all,
I am travelling to Nuneaton for the New Year to see family i have not seen in years. While i am there i can finally get to see my beloved Sky Blues.

My question is. Does anybody know how i can get to the ground from Nuneaton? Are there special Sky Blue buses specifically set up to go to the Ricoh? OR is there anybody going to the Shrewsbury game who has a spare seat please?

Ralph

Buses from Nuneaton, Bus Station (Stand D12) depart every 20 minutes. Duration of journey to The Ricoh Arena is approx. 58 minutes.

Should be able to pay on the gate.

Have you seen the route they take from Nuneaton. They stop off at every house in Beduff.

Well its about £35 on a friday night from the ikea area to Nuneaton bus station (which is just around the corner from the train station). So id imagine it would be around £20-£25 on a Saturday afternoon.

It shouldn't be more than £15 from Nuneaton town centre to the Ricoh.

Thanks lads

New Years Day doubt there will be any public transport and taxi will charge you at least double. Try and agree a price before you get in a taxi

I get into Cov on the train dead on 1pm, quickly check in at the travel lodge and drop our bags off and then will get a taxi to the Ricoh, hoping we get a good hour or so before the game for a couple of pints

and your point is?

ask one of your family members to give you a lift, presuming they are not full of ale from the night before.

Thanks pw362, I presumed busses wouldn't be running New Year's Day, excellent of they are !

With a new stadium there is parking restrictions so we have this green travel plan where get on a train and jump out as it hurtles past the Ricoh

There used to be a bus run by Coachleasing which pick up spots around Nuneaton for £5. Unsure if it's running but maybe worth a call

 

[captainralph2003]

Thanks everybody for your replies. But i still need a lift please. No buses or coaches are running from Nuneaton. Taxis are REALLY expensive, so if anybody has a spare seat in their car, please could i have a lift. Am happy to pay a £5 for a lift.
