Watford
Directions
I have in
the past parked in the centre of town and walked down to the ground. As the ground is
right in the centre of town it is difficult to miss. Leave the M1 at Junction 5 and take
the A4008 into Watford. If on nearing the town centre you can't see it on your left, just
go around the inner ring road and you will soon spot it. There are also some private match
day car parks available at some industrial units near the ground. It is about a five minute walk
away from the ground'.
Pubs
Christopher Harrison
a visiting Middlesbrough fan recommends the 'Odd Fellows' (previously called 'Macs Bar') in Fearnley Street.
'It is only a couple of hundred yards from the
ground and they even had a barbeque in the beer
garden'. The bar
is situated
off Cassio Road and is clearly visible when taking
the route to Vicarage Road from the town centre via Market Street. The pub is
only a few minutes walk
away from the away turnstiles.
Otherwise the ground is in walking distance of the town centre, where
along the High St you will find a few pubs including a large Wetherspoons outlet
called the Moon Under Water, O'Neils and a Walkabout. Rob Sterry adds, 'away fans should avoid the Red Lion, outside the ground'.
By Train
The nearest station
is Watford High Street, a ten minute walk away from the ground.
However you are likely to come into Watford Junction train
station, which is about a 20 minute walk. Either get a train
to Watford High Street from Watford Junction or if you have time to walk to the
ground then:
Leave the station
& take main road straight opposite (Clarendon Road) all the way (over
Ring Road at lights) up to the High Street. Turn
left and go past past Wetherspoons (Moon under Water) on your right and
then take the first right after 100 yards into Market Street. Continue
along again crossing Ring Road to T junction & then left at an
excellent chip shop. Vicarage Road is the next right turn. Should take
around 15-20 minutes to walk.
Thanks to Albert Fuller for
providing the above directions.
