Directions & Parking

There are many ways to get there, but these IMO seemed the best route.


Approx 135 Miles (Allow a good 4 hours for travelling)

M1
M25
Leave the M25 at Junction 10 and follow the A3 towards London. After about ten miles you will reach the Tolworth roundabout at which you turn right onto the A240 towards Epsom. After about three miles turn onto the A232 towards Sutton. Follow the A232 through Sutton and Carshalton and just before reaching Croydon, turn left onto the A23 north towards Thornton Heath'. Where the A23 bears left at Thornton Heath (at the Horsehoe pub roundabout). Here you must go straight over, into Brigstock Road (B266), passing Thornton Heath Station on your left and bearing right on to the High Street. At the next mini roundabout, (Whitehorse Road/Grange Road) go left into Whitehorse Lane. The ground is on your right.

There is plenty of street parking in the area. Please note that the traffic can be pretty bad on Saturdays even without football traffic, so make sure you allow yourself some extra time to make the journey.

Trains

The closest stations are Selhurts or Norwood Junction (About a 10 - 15 Minute walk away)

Most of the cheap advance tickets have gone on the trains that would be ideal for the game. The cheapest train tickets available at the minute are as follows: 11am Leicester - London St Pancras (£13) and 6.55pm London St Pancras - Leicester (£16). Rather than buying a railcard in London which will cost £5.70 you will be better to walk to Kings Cross Thames Link and get a Cheap Day Return to Norwood Junction which costs £4.

Alternitavely, you can travel to London on National Express. They have funfares still available at £5 each way on the 9.25am Service and returning on the 6.30pm service. You then need to get a Cheap Day Return from London Victoria to Norwood Junction, again this costs £4.

Pubs

There are a variety of pubs to drink at, but maybe RS is the best person to advise on this ??

A few of us London Branchers will be using The Railway Telegraph before & after the game - turn right out of Thornton Heath station and it's across the road - it's about 15-20 minutes walk to the ground.

London Victoria is the best station for Thornton Heath.

This has got to be one of the worst ground i've ever been to. Absolute shit hole, in the middle of nowhere and we tend to get beat everytime we play there! Last time i went we lost 3-0 and Bruce Dyer got a hat trick. Shocking.

One of the worst grounds to drive to, I wouldn't recommend it.

One option would be to drive part of the way. For example from Luton Airport Parkway (just off the M1) the train fare is £13 return, and will be quicker than going by car.

Anyone think there will be a problem getting tickets when they go on general sale on Friday???

There are only 1100 or so tickets available.

Already got my tickets mate. I'm travelling with 4 other people anyway. I'll be having a few beers on Friday night so I dont think it will be a welcome sight on Saturday morning!

I think we'l sell about 750 in total. That could change if we get a result on Saturday.
