boston-owl Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi guys. I know it's a week away yet but thought I would start the thread now, Unlike the username says I actually live in uttoxeter now, 10-15 mins from the Britannia. If anyone needs any help for the local area just fire away. Parking is not great but there is 2 or 3 car parks around the ground that offer parking for a fiver. Personally I will be drinking in uttoxeter before the game. Basically everyone coming down from Sheffield will most likely pass it on the A50 there is a big wetherspoons in the centre along with 2 or 3 decent real ale boozers namely "the star" and "ye olde talbot" all within a stones throw in the town centre. Uttoxeter is basically the last town before you arrive at stoke just abit further up the A50. Bring it on!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGLED UP IN BLUE Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Nice one Boston owl, hoping to get there for 7ish ,coming over back way from Cat n Fiddle will I still drop on the car parks from that way? Not bothered about a bit of a walk if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taximark Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Last time I was there (4-2 win on boxing day?) I parked at the Power League five-a-side football place next the the brittania, can people still park and go in there for a drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 We've stopped at Uttoxeter en route to Stoke a few times. We'll be doing same again I should think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 In traffic, how long from Uttoxeter to Stoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boston-owl Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Coming from the cat n fiddle I should think you will come in via Ashbourne/leek the traffic can be quite bad that way and of course it's all single carriageway. Drinking near the ground is very strict these days and definatly colours won't be let in but you can still park at the power league 5 a side. Regarding in heavy traffic uttoxeter to stoke at around 6pm is no more than 20 mins. Uttoxeter is literally the last town before stoke along the A50 you carry on down the A50 from uttoxeter and arrive at Blythe bridge roundabout take the 1st exit and the ground is on your left around 3 - 4 miles from this point.

TAOWL267 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Can't we get Blackburn out of the way before getting giddy about Stoke beamback and pubs. Three points on Saturday is more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I also meant to ask, would it be better coming from Sheffield to go A38 way, or Leek/Ashbourne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boston-owl Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Faster roads A38 slower roads less traffic until you get to stoke leek/Ashbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 From experience A38 around Derby, at rush hour, is a right pain. My plan will be to do the back route going, and come back on the main drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boston-owl Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Then follow your heart vulva and let's hope we are all rewarded with a Wednesday win 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
