We would also like to remind people not to park on grass verges around the stadium as this causes damage to the surrounding environment and also blocks routes used by the emergency services. Vehicles parked illegally may be clamped or towed away. 

Please also be aware that neighbouring retail parks are operating parking restrictions using vehicle identification cameras. Fines will be issued for those who exceed the time limits.

Is there a bus service?

Yes, there is the regular shuttle bus and a bus service from Carmarthen, which stops in Kidwelly, Burry Port, Coleg Sir Gar and Dominos, Llanelli in operation for this game.

Make sure you’re pretty in pink

The Scarlets will be wearing the third kit for the first time this season and we’d love it if you looked pretty in pink alongside the squad! 

The new VX3 strip has gone down a storm with fans and the players are big fans of the design as well, which has been inspired by a jersey worn by the club back in 1881

That original 19th-century kit is recorded in the history books as being rose and primrose in colour and for the modern interpretation, the traditional colours have been reimagined as birch and claret, while a distinctive pink dragon scale pattern features across the front of the jersey.

The pink detailing is a nod to the rose element of the original 1881 kit, bringing an important piece of Scarlets history into a contemporary design.
