AWAY DAY GUIDE CHELTENHAM TOWN
We at the Crewe Alexandra Supporters initiative want to encourage as many Crewe fans to support the team both HOME and AWAY, to help the team improve this year. Getting to away games can at times be a little difficult so we have decided to try and help by putting together an away day guide for each of our trips this year, starting with Cheltenham Town.
The ASi in association with the Sandbach Travelling Alex will be running Transport to all away Crewe Alex games this season, for more information look at the Away travel page on our website www.creweasi.co.uk, or ring Scott Kynnersley on 07921924483. Coaches will also be run by the football club for information of these please contact the club
.
To all supporters not travelling by coach hopefully you will find the following guide a help.
Cheltenham Station is over two miles from the ground, so best to jump in a taxi. If you are going to embark on the 35-40 minute walk, Turn right out of station car park and follow Queens Road for around half a mile. At end of Queens Road and turn left into Lansdown Road. At the next (Montpellier) roundabout, turn left into Montpellier Walk (which later becomes the Promenade). At the end of the Promenade, turn right into the High Street. Go along High Street for around 100 yards and then turn left into Winchcombe Street (by a branch of the Cheltenham &Gloucester Building Society). Continue straight along Winchcombe Street and into Prestbury Road. Straight across the next roundabout and then first right into Whaddon Road. The entrance to the away end is down on the left.
If you decide to travel by Car (Ground Post code-GL52 5NA) Leave the M5 at junction 10 and take the A4019 towards Cheltenham.more... Keep straight on through the traffic lights, until you come to large roundabout (there is a McDonalds on the left), at which you turn left. Continue up this road going over a double mini roundabout. Keep going for about 300 yards and then turn right into Swindon Lane. Go over the level crossing and straight over the next roundabout (signposted Prestbury) passing the race course on your left. Turn right into Albert Road (signposted Gloucestershire University) and at the bottom at the roundabout turn left into Prestbury Road, (the ground is signposted from here) and then further down Prestbury Road, turn right into Whaddon Road. The ground is down on the left.
Eating and Drinking once you arrive in Cheltenham. There is a club bar at the ground called the Robins Nest which allows in small numbers of away fans for a small admittance fee. Once in the ground, the food on offer ranges from burgers, hot dogs, pies (including the Pukka Chicken Balti Pie and bacon baps. Away fans are told to head to the 'Sudeley Arms' or 'The Conservatory' on Prestbury Road on the outskirts of town. There is even a decent fish & chip shop situated in-between the two. To find these pubs, turn right out of the club car park, and then turn left at the end of the road. Go straight over the roundabout, and The Sudeley Arms is on your left and the Conservatory is further up on your right. It is no more than a ten minute walk from the ground, which is convenient.
The ASi hopes this little guide helps look out for more guides to follow.
