Car Parking: There are two options here: street parking or the multi-story ten minutes walk away from the ground. For street parking follow the one-way around, turning left, right and right again all in about 100 yards so that you do a complete U-turn and then take the second left into Ash Road. Continue down to the bottom, turn left at the end and the club is in front of you. Continue straight past the club and the road bends immediately over a dual carriageway bridge. Beyond this is plenty of street parking but a word of warning that police warn that car crime is high in this area so do not leave any valuables in your vehicle. To find the multi story follow signs for the Galaxy Centre Leisure Complex.
By Train: Luton station is a good 15 minute walk to Kenilworth Road. On leaving the station turn right into Station Road which leads into Mill Street. At the junction turn left into Telford Way and then right onto Dunstable Road (A505). Follow this road for a third of a mile and take the fifth left into Oak Road and head towards the ground. You can also catch any of the following buses from Park Square or Upper George Street: Nos. 31, 37, 38 and 61 to Dunstable Road.

TICKET AND GROUND INFO
General: For some strange reason Luton are unable to admit concessions paying on the day so you must purchase your ticket in advance from Wrexham. The entrance to the Oak Road Stand must be the strangest in football as on my first visit I thought I was queuing to get into someone's house not a football ground! The ground has had little investment over the last decade and is starting to show it's age. The supporting pillars can obstruct your view and the left room is not great either. On the plus side a small number of fans can make some noise due to the design of the stand and the refreshments and not bad either with a wide range to chose from.
Ticket Office: 01582 416976 or ticketoffice@lutontown.co.uk. Wrexham FC 01978 366388 open during nor mal office hours. Credit card bookings incur a surcharge.
