Cresselly's cricket ground will be packed out for Glamorgan's match against Surrey Brown Caps at Cresselly on Bank Holiday Monday, May 28. Interest levels are so high for Pembrokeshire's first ever competitive match at this level, that more enquiries have been received concerning tickets, travelling and car parking arrangements than for any other Glamorgan match in Wales this season. There will be a large car park for spectators in a field opposite the entrance to the Cresselly Cricket Ground. The car parking fee will be £3 for cars and £5 for minibuses. Spectators travelling to Cresselly from the M4 are advised to drive on the A40 so far as Canaston Bridge and then take the A4075 road to Cresselly. Supporters travelling to the ground from the southern parts of Pembrokeshire, such as Pembroke, Tenby and Saundersfoot, are advised to take the A477 to Carew and then to take the A4075 towards Cresselly. There will be two entrances to the car park, one for spectators travelling from Canaston Bridge and another for spectators travelling from Carew. The same entrances can also be used as exits from the car park, but there will also be two exits at the bottom of the large field near Cresswell Quay. Supporters travelling to the match in organised parties by coach should contact Cresselly Cricket Club, as there are special parking arrangements for buses in a separate bus park. Cresselly Cricket Club has arranged seating for 3,000 spectators. Some 800 spectators will be able to sit in a small stand behind the stumps at the school end and 2,200 spectators will be able to use chairs, which will be located alongside the boundary inside the hedge next to the adjoining field. Spectators who want to watch the match from the 'Mound boundary' will be able to bring their own individual chairs. No car parking will be allowed inside the ground so that there will be a larger area than usual for spectators to sit. No smoking will be permitted in the spectator areas, but there will be a designated smoking area in the adjoining field on the right-hand side where spectators enter the ground. This field will also be used for the drinks marquee and the food outlets. Like everyone at the club, Cresselly chairman Glyn Cole is geared up for this major sporting event and to make it an enjoyable occasion for players and spectators. He said: "A great deal of effort is being made to make the game a success. A new electronic scoreboard has been completed in record time, sponsorship packages were sold out within a week, the clubhouse has been refurbished and the playing surface has attracted much praise. Excitement levels are rising and the game has captured the imagination of the Pembrokeshire public. "We hope that a huge crowd will arrive to cheer on the Glamorgan Dragons."
