From the M6, turn off at Junction 3. From here and take the A444 heading for the city centre. After a mile, you will see the stadium on the left hand side.
Parking
"Residents only" parking restrictions are in place within a mile of the ground. Small carparks near by offer spaces for a fiver.
You can put your car in the Tesco car park but have to spend £25 in one of the retail stores and attach the receipt to the windscreen.
There's a park and ride service which costs £7 a car and that covers return bus travel to the ground for everyone in the car. You can get this at the Jaguar Research & Development in Whitley, Coventry. It's pefect for those coming off the M1 at junction 17 and then the A45 to Coventry. For more details and to pre-book, call 0247 6236986.
Another option is a 200 space car park off Junction 3 of the M6, run by Leisure Ireland - a 15 minute walk to the stadium.
Nearest Station
Coventry is almost four miles from the stadium. Catch a regular special bus service (£3) to the ground or get a taxi.
Check train times and tickets at The Trainline. For more information, call National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50.
Longford Road is probably best for grub.
Longford Road has a number of friendly pubs. The JK English Pub has a pool table, jukebox and serves Indian food, while The Black Horse Pub, in-between Longford and Exhall, and The Greyhound Pub on Sutton Stop are other options. Beer is served inside the ground.
Opened in August 2005, the Ricoh Arena is an impressive stadium. It's fully enclosed, single tiered all the way round except for one side which has white panelling at the back with a tiny upper tier of just a few rows.
Away fans are housed in the corner of the Telent West Stand and the Jewson South Stand. With supporters quite far from the pitch, the view isn't great, and neither is the leg room. However, the acoustics and facilities more than make up for this.
Let's all sing together, play up Sky Blues
While we sing together, we will never lose
Tottenham or Chelsea, United or anyone
They shan't defeat us,
We'll fight 'till the game is won
City! (clap clap clap) City! (clap clap clap)
Dirty northern bastards!
Aston Villa, Leicester City, Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers
