GRESTY ROAD (THE ALEXANDRA STADIUM)
Gresty Road,
Crewe,
Cheshire.
CW2 6EB.

Gresty Road - now known as the Alexandra Stadium - currently has a capacity of 10,066. The stadium originally opened in 1906, and has undergone considerable development in modern times.

This development culminated in the opening of the Air Products Stand. This £5.2million construction holds almost 7,000 fans, in addition to housing the club's office accommodation.

HOW TO GET THERE - BY CAR
Take your preferred route to join the M6, and leave the M16 at junction 16. Take the A5020 towards Crewe and follow this road into the town.

Turn left at the roundabout junction with the A534 (Nantwich Road) and Gresty Road is located on the left just past the railway station.

BY TRAIN
As one of the most important railway towns in the country, Crewe is an absolute doddle to reach on the train, with direct services from Manchester Piccadilly.

WHERE TO PARK
Away supporters' parking is cleared signed close to the ground at the island on Weston Road. This route leads you into an industrial estate (behind the LC Charles Volkswagen dealership), leaving just a 15-minute walk to the ground.

Fans can also use the car park at the Brocklebank Pub (Brewer's Fayre) for a £1 charge. However, this can be claimed back off the bill following any food purchases in the pub.

WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK
The supporters' club at the ground is a good bet for those fans arriving early, while there are a number of pubs surrounding the ground. The Royal Hotel seems to be a particular favourite, boasting both home and away supporters' sections.

The British Lion on Nantwich Road - listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide - is also a decent bet, while the Brocklebank Pub offers Brewer's Fayre food and is often a popular choice.
