Away Supporters' Facilities
The South Stand holds 4,800 visiting spectators and has excellent refreshment and toilet facilities.

How To Get There:

By Road:
North/South/West: M6 to J15. Take the A500 to Stoke-on-Trent then the A50 to Derby/Uttoxeter (the Britannia Stadium is signposted and visible on the sky-line to the right). Once on the A50 drive past the stadium on the right to the first exit and come back down the westbound carriageway of the A50.

East: A50 from M1 all the way to Stoke-on-Trent. Stadium to the left. Please note: on a matchday, there are special parking restrictions on the official stadium car parks and supporters will NOT be able to use the official club car parks without a special pass.

By Foot:
Pedestrians can walk to the Britannia Stadium on a matchday from Stoke using existing footpaths along the bridge over the A500, which lead to the incinerator access road, to link up with the footway/cycleway (and the bridge over the canal and railway line) to the stadium.

Pedestrians can also link up with the new footway from the towpath which runs along the Trent and Mersey canal. Supporters can walk from Heron Cross (Grove Road) and Hollybush (Highfield Drive) to the stadium, along a footway/cycleway, but pedestrians coming from Heron Cross should be aware that they must cross the A50 at Heron Cross using the footbridge as a 1.8m high fence prevents crossing the road any further down. There is NO PEDESTRIAN ACCESS along the busy A500 or A50 roads.

Finally, pedestrians can walk to the stadium along Stanley Matthews Way running up from Trentham Road (A5035).

By Rail:
Nearest railway station: Stoke-on-Trent (01782) 411411.

Transportation for away supporters arriving by train can be arranged but must be organised in advance by the visiting club. Supporters arriving by train can take a two-minute walk to Glebe Street in Stoke where buses run to the stadium at regular intervals.

By Bus:
Regular matchday shuttle services run to and from the stadium from nearby Stoke town centre.

Parking:
Matchday parking is available for away supporters on the SOUTH car park, access from Trentham Road only (see directions below) at a charge of £5. These tickets must be bought in advance from the club ticket office. There is no payment on the gate. The South car park is open from 11am for an afternoon match and 4pm for a night match.

Directions: North/South/West for South Car Park: M6 junction 15, take the A500 Stoke-on-Trent then at the first exit, take the A34 to Stone and follow signs for Trentham. At the next roundabout, turn left onto Trentham Road (A5035) and carry on until you reach the traffic signalised junction which sits on the southern entrance to Stanley Matthews Way.

East: A50 to Stoke-on-Trent. Leave the A50 and turn into Trentham Road (A5035). Stay on Trentham Road until you reach the traffic signalised junction which sits on the southern entrance to Stanley Matthews Way.

Around The Ground:
The nearest pub to the ground is The Harvester pub/restaurant. It serves a wide range of drinks and excellent food.

Get there early enough and you will probably be able to enjoy your drink and meal in relative comfort. But be warned - it gets very busy closer to kick-off.

The Power League Centre is also nearby, while further afield is The Plough Motel on Campbell Road, closer to the old Victoria Ground than the Britannia.

Just across the way from the Plough is the Gardeners Retreat and small numbers of away fans sometimes use this pub.

For those arriving by train there are two pubs a stone's throw from the station. But it's a fair walk to the stadium from both - and walking through Stoke town centre on route to the Britannia is strongly discouraged.

Inside the stadium itself there are plentiful bars serving beer before the match and at half-time.

Eating
Again, the Harvester. Like any pub, though, it can only handle so many people at one time and large numbers of away fans streaming off coaches and trying to descend in one go are likely to be disappointed. As well as discouraged.

In that case, the stadium is geared up to pretty well meeting your needs.

The new Power League Centre is also adjacent to the stadium and football fans are welcomed. They do drinks and other snacks and also have parking facilities.

The usual burgers, chips, hot dogs etc can be bought from one of the plentiful snack bars within the visitors' stand enclosure.

In Stoke town centre itself there are many small cafes with very reasonably priced menus, but again be advised that away fans in the town centre are strongly discouraged.
