    Hi,
    My name is Andy, I am the Landlord of the Fitzwilliam Arms in Doncaster.

    We are the second closest pub to the ground from town and only 5 mins walk from the train/bus interchange station,
    also only 15min walk to the Keepmoat.
    We serve a great pint, have some lovely footie food (Home made steak pie, chips peas and gravy is the favourite) and large screen TV for live football.
    (See Link below)

    I have a large secure car park, FREE, and can accommodate up to 4 coaches and mini-buses if given advance notice.
    So far we have had a good response from travelling fans with some great reviews on their sites
    Coaches will need to send company name and reg no. so that I can inform local police, who will allow coaches to park here with prior notice (Saves £25 on stadium price)

    Both teams need a win so should be a good game.........

    See you Tuesday:

    Andy & Jackie

    RE: car parking??? nt

    All cars are safe in the car park, and you can get back before you would be able to get out of the car park at the stadium

    Picture here - http://www.panoramio.com/photos/original/13936044.jpg

    Whats the best route to walk to the ground? Google maps claims it's a 35 mins, 1.9 mile walk. Can you cut through the Outlet Shopping centre or do you have to go all the way down to Wilmington Drive?

    Gona have mi 7yr old son with mi, who's usual hike to Oakwell is about 15mins. May have to call in for couple and then get a bit closer in the car. Also depends on weather and traffic.

    Got day off work and kids are off school so early start (dancin)
