Ahead of Sunday’s Betfred Women's and Men’s Challenge Cup Semi-Finals double header in Doncaster, fans are encouraged to familiarise themselves with all the key information before travelling to the Eco-Power Stadium.
Following on from the recent government announcement that the current national threat to the UK (England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland) from terrorism has been raised from SUBSTANTIAL to SEVERE there will be increased security checks for spectators at both venues. This is to ensure you can enjoy the semi-finals in a safe environment. Please make sure you allow plenty of time to arrive at the stadium.
Here’s everything you need to know:
GETTING HERE
Eco-Power Stadium
Stadium Way
Doncaster
DN4 5JW
BY ROAD
From the A1(M), join the M18 Eastbound at J35 (signposted Hull) or from the M1, join the M18 Eastbound at J32.
Once on the M18, leave at J3 and take the A6182 towards Doncaster. The stadium is well signposted and is roughly 1.5 miles from J3.
Heading straight on through two sets of traffic lights, you will pass the Lakeside Village retail park on your left. On reaching the roundabout, take the first exit onto Stadium Way and the Eco-Power Stadium will be on your right.
PARKING
There are approximately 1,000 parking spaces across several car parks at the Eco-Power Stadium. Therefore, at events with larger attendances, spaces will be at a premium and booking in advance is essential.
DISABLED PARKING
The disabled parking entrance is Car Park 2 on Stadium Way. Turn right into car park 2 and follow the road down towards the stadium, then turn left onto the one-way ring road. The disabled bays are curved along the side of the stadium and there will be stewarding to manage traffic flow.
Please note, there is no more availability for disabled parking. All accessibility bays have now been booked.
ALTERNATIVE PROVISION
Several companies on the nearby industrial estate offer parking on matchdays for around £5. Please note this provision is not endorsed by the stadium and vehicles are parked at owners’ risk.
BY TRAIN
Doncaster Station is just less than two miles away from the stadium and adjacent to the Transport Interchange where bus services can be accessed.
If you have time on your hands, the walk to the stadium takes roughly 30 minutes. Taking a right turn out of the station, head straight along the A6182 Trafford Way and follow signs for the stadium.
BY BUS
Service 356 departs Doncaster Interchange with a direct route to the Eco-Power Stadium with a journey time of approximately ten minutes.
To head back to the Interchange, buses depart from the stop adjacent to Car Park Two on the opposite side of the road.
Further details of bus services can be found on the Travel South Yorkshire website.
TICKET OFFICE
Tickets are available to purchase online via www.rugby-league.com/tickets until 9am on Sunday 10 May. The ticket office at Eco-Power Stadium will open for matchday sales, ticket queries and collections from 11:00am until 30 minutes after the last kick off.
BAG POLICY
No bags larger than an A4 piece of paper will be permitted into the stadium, and there will be a 100% bag search policy in operation.
Supporters are strongly advised to allow extra time to get into the stadium if they choose to bring a bag with them.
