Football League Communications Executive Ian Christon said, "We would urge everyone attending the games to plan their travel carefully and leave as early as possible to ensure you reach Cardiff with time to spare.
"Cardiff is served well by public transport links and this is the best way to avoid delays, but if you do choose to come by road designated routes have been allocated for each club and details of these can be found on your club’s official website.
"Supporters need to be aware that with such a large number of people traveling to one place delays before and after the game will be inevitable. But, in addition, there may be some delays at turnstiles as additional security checks may be made on entering the stadium.
"We therefore advise supporters not to carry an unnecessary baggage and ensure they look to enter the stadium well before kick off. The main message is plan carefully and enjoy your day."
Over 180,000 fans are expected in Cardiff over the weekend
Supporters wishing to avoid the M25 roadworks at Heathrow could opt to travel via Newbury (M27 and A34), or even via Salisbury and Bath
Brighton fans are advised to leave to leave the M4 at junction 33 of the M4 and follow the designated parking signs to ‘park and ride’ sites for their team. Buses will then take fans to within 10 minutes’ walk of the stadium. Car parks open at 7:30am, with the first bus into town at 8am.
The last shuttle bus will leave the pick-up points at 7pm and the car parks will close at 7:30pm. The cost is just £5 per car including bus travel to the central city.
Car parking in the city is limited, and delays are expected on the M4 due to the sheer volume of traffic on the roads. Drivers are advised to leave sufficient time to complete their journey to Cardiff, and when leaving after the game, should stagger their journey to avoid delays on major routes in and out of the city.
Roads around the Millennium Stadium are pedestrianised from two hours before kick-off until one hour after the final whistle to allow fans to disperse safely and gradually.
