Could someone answer me theses please? Ive noticed chesterfield has a train station that according to streetmaps looks close to the ground. Can someone please tell me how long a walk it actually is to the ground from there please? Also could someone tell how me how much the official club coaches were last season? Trying to work out out the best way to travel for the opener, providing i can get a ticket!!
heyup mate, it is about a half hour walk to the chesterfield ground from the station. but there are a few boozers on the way there
Last season I'd paid for pay per view boxing at night so wanted to get home as soon as possible walked out of ground at full time jumped on a bus and got back to station in time for 17-13 train, walked it to ground from station in 20 minutes
I would definitely travel by train. It's a 30 minute walk from train station but plenty on bars and pubs on the way and it's straight along the main road.
Youll get off the train rounded up and taken to a boozer o a side street. First game of the season. Local derby. Big crowd. Plod tastic.
Can get past the police just act normal and not swig cans like loads did last season. And on way back just walk back rather than wait to be kettled. No need.
The Chesterfield ground is about a 40 min walk from the station. Last season it would have cost £8 return via Sheffield. There was a certain train about 1pm from Barnsley that went direct to Chesterfield whereby you could stay on that train when it got to Sheffield. I think on other trains you had to change at Sheffield.
Take a look here matey.. not just for Chesterfield either http://www.footballgroundguide.com/ hope this helps :smile:
That's a very good informative guide, and should be very helpful for any away fans who make their own way.
The direct trains run through to Nottingham and leave Barnsley at 40 minutes past the hour. I'd say the ground is about 30 minutes walk from the town centre.
I drove last year plenty of places to park, thinking of train this time though if I manage to get a ticket that is can see it selling out and quite quick.
