Parking is a perennial issue for non league football clubs and none more so in Berkshire where match attendances regularly reach double figures.
It can mean at times that, for example it’s a bit of a tight squeeze to get your car in a decent spot at Larges Lane and despite and the extra parking at Hill Farm Lane, Stubbs Hill is still a country lane!
Therefore Football in Bracknell has teamed up with the town’s bus company – Courtney Buses – who have kindly come on board to support your favourite East Berkshire football website.
They have provided details on the best services to reach the ground you are headed to. And if you need to know anymore, just head over to their swish new website here.
