Looking forward to Saturday following the display against Everton and travelling down courtesy of Accy Clarets.

Should be a good turnout.

I hate that ground but it feels like we might win it now so looking forward to it. Three of us from Derby UTC

Me and my brother on Accy!

Didn’t manage to go to this ground last season so looking forward to it.

Good chance of points!

Not me for this one, as I'm still in the Far East but 100 travelling down with Accy Clarets.

Me plus 7 for this one, 9:10ish train from Manchester hopefully.

I hope all those who travel with Accy Clarets are formally complaining about their leader sciving yet another trip - Far East indeed


Three of us for this one - all prepared for the long walk to the stadium from Stratford station.

Me plus 6 others travelling over from Didcot/Newbury.
First time visiting this place for all of us.

Three of us.

Didn’t enjoy it last season but after Saturdays performance, feeling more optimistic.

Just 4 of us with Burnley supporters club when I tried to take a list no one wanted to go after last seasons trip I can understand them.

2 of us on the 8.33 train from Shrewsbury

Im travelling down with TY, Nighty, Craig, Ste and the rest of the Accy Clarets. Missed this ground last season so looking forward to it. UTC

Herts Junior and I will be in attendance. Not sure whether Mrs Herts and Miss Herts will be attending in the home end....

Rossy - You should have come and got some tips from Accy Clarets with our reclining seats, entertainment, generously timed stop off along the way, on board refreshments. The complete stress free travel experience.

And no Leisure to crack his unfunny jokes this week - no wonder we sold out in record time

Coming with the same few that went to Chelsea. Hoping that's us nailed on for 3.0 by half time.

2 x bodges for this one.

How far is the walk from Stratford Station ?

If it's a long un karenbodge will want a rickshaw.

Can not see myself visiting this ground to watch the Clarets again anytime soon unless it is a big match.

Hope the fans who go enjoy it though

the sister and me, accy clarets

Me and the Mrs making a long weekend out of it,another ground to tick off the list.

The walk from Stratford station to the stadium isnt too far, its the walk back to the station after the game that takes quite a long time.

From memory last season it took around 15 minutes to walk from the station to the stadium. However after the game the police make the away fans take a different route which involves going round in circles before eventually reaching Stratford station. Think it took somewhere between 30-35 minutes on the way back.

I was talking to a couple of the locals last season and they told me that Hackney Wick overground station is a better option for after the game. They said its around 15 minutes walk from the ground and much quieter.

If you are going by train into Euston for the game get the tube from there - Victoria line north to Highbury & Islington, then overground train from there to Hackney Wick.

For last seasons game we got the express train from Kings Cross to Stratford International, think it was only about 10 minutes. That was no problem at all, it was the long routemarch back to Stratford International after the game that caused us the problems.

Down for the weekend, with the Country2Country festival on Sunday.

Two from SW London.

May travel with some of my WHU supporting friends - that's if they are still going on....

Yes, Hackney Wick station is good for getting away from London Stadium.

UTC

2 here.

Any area recommendations for refreshments?

Me & Mrs Gimmer, went last year and it was a fiasco at Stratford but it is what it is. UTC

Forgot to mention in my post above...........

If you are going from Euston to Hackney Wick when you get off the tube at Highbury & Islington to change for the overground, if you fancy a beer then come out of that station and there is a Wetherspoons just round the corner. Then back into the station for train to Hackney Wick!!

Didn't make it last season, so going for the tick via a VERY early train!!

This is a big match....fiasco last year in playing four big games s n w and East London caused gridlock. And the after match tour was a nightmare..hopefully I'm better prepared this time staying the Friday and Saturday with family clarets in nearby Marriott. Saturday night Romford dogs.I'm usually lucky there! Utc.

Me and the eldest lad, who's now 11.
Didn't make it last season.
7.30ish train from Sheffield to St. Pancras. 20 to 30 minutes' contingency til we get the HS1 train to Stratford.
A quick walk round Olympic Park for a bit, before his big surprise, going down the big slide there.
Then a saunter over to Hackney Wick way to the Howling Hops Bar and Crate Bewery.
After the game, allowed a good hour before getting the train back as oer the above...hopefully celebrating a decent performance and maybe even 1 or 3 points!?

CRATE brewery near hackney wick. Real ale, pizza, benches on the canal side and a couple onto a carpark with other similar warehouses that have been made into bars.

Easy walk to the ground but I’m not sure what they’ll be like about colours. Wouldn’t look out of place in the NQ in Manchester

Looks like a good shout. Any idea if it tends to get packed before a game there?

Nine of us from mid-Kent. Ashford International to Stratford International by High Speed train. It sounds so cosmopolitan - neither are though.

Three making the relatively short trip from Welwyn Garden. Going to the barge on the canal for pre match warm up.

Unlike Leisure, I’m able to make it from the Far East (Norwich). Meeting my Dad who’s on the train from Kent.

I'm in from Suffolk. Drive to Epping, tube in. Mrs BoF goes shopping.

On Jack Jones. Bus or car to Manchester, train to euston and then tube and over land to Hackney wick station.

Hackney Wick is an easier walk after the match because it doesn't have the stewards sending you round the houses. It is a smaller and less regular train though so if you're heading straight off then it won't be much faster. Good if you're going for a drink though.

Crate, and Howling Hops next door, are decent bars if you like that kind of thing. Good beer, a bit hipster (although less so on match days) but they will be pretty busy.

There's little in the way of pubs around the ground. There are a few in Westfield like the Cow or the various restaurants where you can get a drink or a few around Hackney Wick but ultimately it is all a bit crap.

Two of us from Leeds to Kings Cross, weeds are at Reading, so it might be lively on the trains

Trains leave Hackney Wick every 10 minutes after the game.
