That is very close.Millwall
Was going to mention Cov. Retail park Station is right next to it.Coventry too, not that it ever seems to be fully utilised on match days
I remember reading that they built it for football and concerts. It's then never used on concerts or match days as it gets too congested - couldn't write it!Coventry too, not that it ever seems to be fully utilised on match days
Wrexham's is pretty closeI have to say … I prefer away games by train so you can have a few beers etc.
It got me thinking … which ground has a train station nearest to the away fans ?
….Bolton ?
…Blackpool South ?
Must be closer ones than those surely ?
The day in 1991 we effed up promotion at Walsall, I headed back into Brum on a train from Bescot Stadium. Most of us seemed to be Southern based fans…Aston Station, near Witton Lane, Villa Park
I may have mentioned that in post #19Exeter has the nearest by all accounts
You did Phil. Just wanted to confirm you as the winnerI may have mentioned that in post #19
Was at Villa Park the day they were presented with the league title, early '80'sThe day in 1991 we effed up promotion at Walsall, I headed back into Brum on a train from Bescot Stadium. Most of us seemed to be Southern based fans…
On the way in we stopped at a station near Villa Park and a shedload of Chelsea fans got on. They had been playing Villa.
“Who are you”, they asked and when we told them we had blown promotion they were quite sympathetic.
At the next stop, the bulk of Villa fans stood waiting to get on…and the Chelsea fans stared out at them..and the Villa fans suddenly decided they could wait for the next train…
And Witton which is closer (as experienced by Hants Exile)Aston Station, near Witton Lane, Villa Park
Yes. Seen plenty of scraps between us and them on the walk down to the station after matches.Horwich Parkway is right outside Bolton’s stadium no?
