St Helens supporters travelling to Wembley for this year’s Carnegie Challenge Cup Final against Hull FC on Saturday 30 August are being urged to leave their car at home and travel by public transport instead.
Wembley Stadium is a public transport destination and has restricted car-parking facilities at or near the venue.
On matchdays parking within the Wembley Stadium Car Parks is limited to pre-accredited traffic only. Brent Council also operates a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) and as a result any cars illegally parked in the area will be issued with large fines and may be towed away.
To help supporters in planning their journey to Wembley the RFL has provided the following information:
