That's right. Basically if you are driving from Widnes find the A570 expressway (if you follow the signs to the M62 you can't really miss it). From Widnes you will come to a large roundabout which is M62 J7 and from there just follow the signs for St Helens. Straight over a couple of roundabouts and you'll run into the ground if you don't slow down - it's that straight a route.
Once you see the ground the car park you mention is a further 5 mins drive away in the direction of the Town Centre. Rather than try and give you directions the address of it is here if you have a Sat Nav - it's a multi storey:
Chalon Way W, St Helens, WA10 1BF
Once you have parked up on there Wetherspoons (The Glass House) is virtually opposite and, yep, the ground is a 10 minute walk over the Steve Prescott Bridge. Just follow the crowds or, if recent attendances are anything to go by given the 'unrest' then follow the 3 people in Saints shirts.
Safe travels.
