WITH a sell-out crowd guaranteed for the second rugby league test between Great Britain and New Zealand, officials at Bolton's Reebok Stadium report a complete sell-out of car parking space.
Stadium chief executive Paul Fletcher today appealed to supporters who do not have a pre-booked space to find other car-parking away from the stadium.
"We have made arrangements to operate a park-and-ride scheme from Rivington Services on the M61 motorway," he explained.
"Fans without parking tickets call leave their vehicles on the North-bound side of Rivington Services for a £2 parking fee and ride the two-and-a-half miles to the Stadium and return for 50 pence each way," he said.
Alternative parking is also available at British Aerospace, a 10-minute walk from the Stadium, while subsidised buses will operate on six special routes covering St Helens, Rochdale, Wigan, Leigh, Eccles and Bolton town centre.
All bus services depart from the stadium 20 minutes after the final whistle and the fare is £1 in each direction, with children under five travelling free.
Great Britain will be looking to level the three test series after a tremendous tussle at Huddersfield's McAlpine Stadium last weekend.
