​
Tournament Parking
Parking for the AM Session is in 3 locations. Depending on which direction you arrive from, you will be directed to one of these 3:
NOTE : There is a separate area for Blue Badge holders at the Football Centre.
Please ask all of your players/parents/supporters to follow the signs and the instructions of the Flitwick Eagles Parking Marshals on the day.
For the PM Session there will little or NO parking or dropping off at the Football Centre (except for disabled badge holders) as it will be FULL of the morning session cars. Please instruct players / parents to go straight to Redborne Upper School (South Entrance) unless otherwise instructed or advised by the Flitwick Eagles Parking Marshals.
​
​​** See ‘Address-Direction-Parking-Information’ link below for maps and instructions.
​
NOTE : Redborne Upper School parking is a 5-to-10-minute walk away (players can be dropped off in the Drop Off Zone which is closer and walk across the footbridge to the Football Centre). Doolittle Yard is approx. a 5-to-10-minute walk away.
​
Please advise drivers that they need to allow about 15 additional minutes to their journey time for parking up to give players enough time to walk across to the Football Centre, to be ready for their first match. It gets very busy all around Redborne Upper School for about an hour before kick-off times. Please also advise drivers to take extra care when parking, as there are lots of young children attending!
We ask parents / supporters to not to park in the streets adjacent to the Football Centre please, as this will cause congestion, delays, safety concerns and will inconvenience the nearby residents who will complain to the football centre staff and management which is not fair on them.
All attendees & supporters to only use the tournament parking shown above as directed by the Parking Marshalls on the day. Thank you.
​
​We look forward to seeing you on Sunday 18th May. If you have any queries in advance of the tournament or problems on the day, please email tournaments@flitwickeagles.org and we will endeavour to help you.
