dimensions leisure centre and then you can walk up through the astro turf pitches to the ground. Lots of fans will be parking there so just follow the crowd to the ground

We drink in the pub near the college , 5 mins from Stoke station then cab to supporters bar at ground. May do Hanley again if we get bored

You should try the Terrace pub which is around the corner from the train station. Unless that is the pub you already use.

when you come out of the station take a right, then a left at the t junction, you will see royal mail, and its just passed there.

Closest train station to the ground is Longport, which is walking distance, might be cheaper than a cab from Stoke-on-trent

Only problem is not many trains go to that station. Think its one every hour.

Yeah but time planning can be done in advance.... in the way back it's not an issue as long as there's something to do around the area of the station/ground

Nothing to do around longport station. Its barely a station. Just the usual around the ground to do such as have a pint.

Driver booked so might have to journey North for this
 

Port Vale

I think I will be driving to this one; cheapest I can find the train (from Crawley to Stoke) is £63, not sure I'm finding the cheapest rate???

£28.50 cheapest from LondonEuston then day return Crawley/London with Travelcard £15.10.

Great thank you. The cheapest return fare leave Stoke at 17:28; do you think this will leave enough time?
 

Port Vale

With Taxi ok but 17.50 is safer.

The only reason I ask is because the 17:28 to Euston is £8 for a single (dirt cheap) whereas the 17:50 is £16.50.

Thanks again for your help; nothing like planning away trips to get my excitement up for the new season :D
 

Port Vale

Anyone know when online tickets are on sale for this, as we have a brand new sparkly online ticket facility I would like to use :cool:
(or do I go old skool and phone instead)

I wondered this. All booked up on the train, waiting for some ticket new now! Only a couple of weeks away, this is getting exciting!
 

Port Vale

Have I missed the cheap train tickets, or am I doing something wrong? Cheapest I can get is £40 on the slow trains.
