PARKING:

 

There is ample parking adjacent to the stadium, on matchdays parking is charged at £3. Rushden & Diamonds Football Club and the Northamptonshire Police take the safety of ALL spectators and visitors to Nene Park extremely seriously. Increasingly over the years, visitors have been parking vehicles dangerously along both the A6 trunk road and Station Road in Irthlingborough. Illegal parking is a hindrance and inconvenience to both motorists and pedestrians alike.

 

The club and the police are working in partnership and are now informing all those proposing to visit Nene Park for both matches and car boot sales, that thorough enforcement of parking regulations will be carried out where vehicles are found to be parked both dangerously and illegally. The advice from both the club and the police is to use the car parks provided by the club on the Nene Park complex.

 

Bars:

If you want to have a drink before the match, there are several bars around the ground. Visiting supporters have a designated bar situated in the AirWair Stand when they are situated in that stand. Home supporters also have access to the bar in the North Stand concourse. Strikers Bar is open for everyone and is located adjacent to the South Stand. You can pick up some great shopping bargains from the Club Shop for Rushden & Diamonds merchandise.
