Going to Stoke?

If you have been able to get hold of tickets, here for the last time this season is our travel guide

Directions

Take the M1 to Junction 24 then join the A50 to Stoke. After going through the Meir tunnel the ground is on the left side of the road.

Going via the M6 leave at Junction 15 and then take the A500 towards Stoke. As you see the stadium over on your right and some wasteland over on your left (where the old Victoria Ground used to be) turn right onto the A50 towards Uttoxeter. You will then pass the stadium on your right and then at the next island go around and comeback on yourself for the stadium entrance.

There are still some parking spaces at various commercial sites between the old Michelin Car park and the site of the old Victoria Ground. Bear in mind though that if you do park by the Victoria ground, allow a good 20 minutes to walk (mostly uphill) to the stadium. If you are intending to park in this area then from Junction 15 proceed along the A500, passing the junction with the A34. The stadium will appear over on the right and the open site of the since demolished Victoria ground will appear on your left. Leave the A500 at the next junction and turn left to go down to this area…..

Pubs

There is a distinct lack of pubs near to the ground as it is built away from other buildings so it is recommended that you grab a drink on the way into Stoke however there is a Holiday Inn and Harvester Pub next to the ground and it may be possible to park in their carpark for a fee. Also near the stadium is a Power League complex that has a bar and allows in away fans, it shows SKY television and you can even park in their car park for £4.50.

Kevin McPadden the landlord of the Potters Bar says; 'We are prepared to offer our hospitality to all visiting teams en-route to the Britannia Stadium. We have a full menu of food and drinks available all day, children are welcome in a designated area, coaches welcome by appointment. The pub in Meir Park is approximately six minutes drive from the Britannia Stadium and is located on the A50 Uttoxeter/Stoke road'
 

By Train

There are no trains to Stoke on the Sunday to get to the ground in time for the match
