Parking SFS

[Ausguy]

Hey guys,
im driving to the game on Friday,coming straight from work (damn friday night games).... can anyone give me the best choices for parking ??? I have never parked there before, always taken public transport. i dont mind paying but anyone know of any good spots to park, side streets or something???

friday night in surry hills: a fluke if you get one
best option is to pay at the ground, dunno how much it is.

I'd recommend sticking to your usual public transport, buses from central are frequent and quick. Allocated parking is $15 for 4 people $20 for 3 or less. And finding free parking around there isn't easy

adam thanks but as i said i am coming straight from work (not in the city, but baulkham hills) so i have no choice to drive... $20 thats ok i suppose... thanks anyway

Arthur St off Bourke Street, Surry Hills - then its an easy walk over the the ground. Get there before 6 if you can.

I was planning on parking in the car park they set up or in that big car park where all the restaurants are at fox studios.. Its not that big of a walk

Like Sharkwings said, Arthur St, or any other of the small backstreets off Bourke St. The residents might get a bit angry, but f**k it, its one night of the year.

I went to Sydney Boys [across the road, but entry through Cleveland St], and we'd always do parking. It was $10 in 2006, but I think its $12 this year.

Don't really want to say this one.. Though, because you're a Sharks supporter i will. ;-)
Tennis courts, across the road from the big Grass Carpark, its about a 5-10 minute walk max. Not sure what the situation is there on friday nights, but i've never had any problem there i've parked there.. You have to turn in to a little drive way sort of entrance just before the traffic lights, its easy to miss, but you will find a spot there easily if you find it.. Sorry i'm unsure of street names etc.

Can always try East Redfern as well - Bourke St, Baptist St, Marriott St etc. A little bit further to walk but will save you cash and allow for a quicker exit. Just dont get mugged on the way back to your car.

What about by train?? I take it you get off at Central and walk?? how far is it??

 

[Special K]

umm a bit far maybe 10 minutes? (I'm judging this from the last time I walked from central to the pub across from the SFS when I went to good vibes so I could be wrong I was pissed)

They will run a few free buses but

They run busses from central to the games

They will run a few free buses but

probably 15 mins, steep uphill. Pub crawl your way up if you have time. Buses to Moore park aren't free, least not for Roosters games, but Im fairly sure theyr run by state transit, not us.

Don't big games include free transport?

I know they do for origins(don't they???)

anyone know any good places to eat around the SFS?

Its the mrs birthday tomorrow so i'm going to have to take her to dinner on friday (f**k this is going to be an expensive night!!! the jersey I got her, $120 on tickets, $20 on parking, $40 petrol.. argh i'll stop thinking about it now!!)

I suggested we get McDonalds but was quickly given "the look"

Uhh. When was the last time Origin was at the SFS?
But not sure on buses for finals. Is there transport info on ticketek or anything? If buses cost money, i think its $4 or so for a return ticket.

 

[Special K]

I meant trains to Homebush but I have not gone to an origin since 2006.

Actually I think looking back the buses at good vibes did cost money. I was pretty hammered tbh
