Getting to the ground
There is no parking inside Rodney Parade. County list city-centre options including Kingsway, Friars Walk, Riverfront, Emlyn Street and Clarence car parks. Spaces and charges are not confirmed by the matchday guide. The club describes Newport railway station as about a ten-minute walk away. Its published walking route uses a staircase and an underpass, so it should not be treated as a verified step-free route.
Before kick-off
The East Stand Lounge opens at 1pm and is available to all ticket holders, including supporters with Candleston Stand tickets. The club says Candleston ticket holders will be escorted back to their stand at 2.45pm. Live music is scheduled from 1.40pm, followed by a Hayden Mullins interview at 2.15pm. Christian Doidge is due to appear in the lounge at 2.35pm. That is a supporter appearance, not confirmation that he is available to play. The club guide also links to ticket sales, first-visit information and Exiles TV. Check the official page for any changes before travelling.
