To be honest you might as well go where you like and get a cab to the ground if you don't go to The Brit!
Or a Fan Fest which is closest of all (30 yards - 1 min).
As one of the limited walking capability crowd I can assure you even the Brit isn't all that as pub near the ground. Once you have got to HP, milled around in the queues and got to your seat I am usually fooked. It's much easier to get a cab from the plain or town itself, you then get dropped right next to the turnstiles pretty well and costs a fiver.
I have in the past moaned to the disability officer about the parking and how the disabled spaces were first some first served basis, miss them and you have to park miles away, I was told to arrive a couple of hours before kickoff! Shame some of us cripples have to work innit?
