Chester City
Directions
The ground is located out of town on an industrial estate.
Stay on the M56 until you reach a roundabout at the end of the motorway. Follow the signs
to North Wales & Queensferry A5117. After around one and a half miles you will reach a
set of traffic lights where you need to bear left on to the A550 (signposted North Wales
& Queensferry). Then from
the A550, take the A548 towards Chester. Head straight through the first set of
traffic lights and after passing a Vauxhall and then a Renault garage on your
left, turn right at the next lights (there is a Volvo Garage on the corner) into
Sovereign Way. Continue to the end of Sovereign Way and then turn right into
Bumpers Lane and the entrance to the Club car park is just down on the right.
There is plenty of car parking
available at the ground (£3), however if you use the club
car park, it can be quite difficult to get away easily after the match.
Henry Willard a visiting Yeovil fan adds; 'It may be an idea if you can plan an
appropriate route, to stay in the left hand lane as you leave the car park and
head westwards away from the city centre, as most of the traffic after the game
seems to go towards town'.
Pubs
City Centre (a 15 minute
walk) - Coach and Horses and the Dublin Packet
near the Town Hall. Near to the train station down by
the canal is the Old Harkers Arms. Whilst Mark Pilling adds;
'Also worth a visit are the 'Ship Victory' on
George Street and the Mill Hotel. The latter serves a large
selection of real ales'.
By Train
Chester railway
station is over two miles from the ground, so it is
probably best to jump in a taxi which will cost around £4.
Leave the
station by the main exit opposite the Town Crier, and turn right into
Station Road. Head between the Egerton Arms and the Railway Inn, and at the
end of the street by Stanley's enter the underpass. In the underpass look
for the first exit and then steps signed for Frodsham Street. Head towards
the Oddfellows Arms but just before the bridge turn right into Gorse Stacks.
When reaching the crossroads by the Bull & Stirrup go straight over into
Canal Street and on under the dual carriageway ring road. At the next
junction turn left, past Telford's Warehouse on the right hand side, and
over the canal. The road then divides. Take the right hand option, South
View Road. At the T-junction at the end of South View Road turn right. You
are now in Sealand Road. Carry along Sealand Road for half a mile or so
until you see Bumpers Lane on your left. Around half a mile down Bumpers
Lane you'll reach the stadium.
Thanks to David Lucas for providing the above directions.
Paul Williams adds; 'If
you want to go by public transport then take the
Railink bus to the bus exchange and then the No. 10
which runs along Sealand Road'
