Any info on parking at casino, can we park on day or do will we have to park off site.  Where is off site parking, how much does it cost etc?  Am staying at ricoh as well so dont really want to keep moving car.

It"s free parking AFAIK but as mentioned, perhaps in the other thread, it"s a matchday on Saturday and from what I understand the casino/hotel car park is not available until the evening.

Tighty indicated that there we will be directed to a nearby alternative which, apparently is only a "2 minute walk".

I"ll be checking on Friday....or I"ll have a google and see what I can find.

It is a car park right opposite the other side of the dual carriageway, used on matchdays

Opens about 11.30am

Park at the casino end, then over the bridge/walkway

2 minutes

If you are staying at the ricoh hotel on the match day, when you arrive at the main car park entrance tell them you are staying at the hotel and they ask what room. If you have a pitch view room you park just on the left (100 yards tops from the hotel/casino) or if you have a suite then you park on the right (50 yards tops). The car park will be almost empty before 1pm. The suites can generally be checked into around 2 - 3pm and pitch views not till 6 - 7 pm.

Is anybody staying at the Britannia in Coventry city centre? I"m considering playing, and if somebody has a car at this hotel that I could pinch a lift off, it would help sway my decision !

Had a phone call from the Ricoh to say that I can"t check in until after 8pm. It doesn"t bother me at all, but Her Indoors ain"t too chuffed.
