General Info - Watford (a)

For those looking to park I have pre paid with CitiPark to park at Church multi storey. Just off ring road and facing Vicarage Road. £4 for 5 hours with a ten minute walk straight down Vicarage Road to the ground.

[Scampi]

Absolutely no benefit. If the Met line is running then go all the way to the end of the line.

Better pubs in Croxley But yes, if you're walking straight to the ground, definitely stay on until Watford.

[MK-Claret]

If anyone needs a lift from Huddersfield area or on the way down via the M1 let me know I have one possibly 2 seats in the car .

[SouthLondonexile]

Another frustrating day for travelling fans. It has to be time to stop bank holiday closures to train lines.
The Met line seems favourite for me at least.

I have done the same, it is my usual car park for Watford anyway and takes away the hassle of the scrum to pay for parking after the game.

[Spike]

On train from Preston incl bus for half of journey! It’s a pain but stopping over to ease that pain.

[Papabendi]

is it now a sell out?

[Leisure]

We'll they've been taken off sale online, which usually indicates that it's down to the last few single tickets, which are only available from the Ticket Office.

Or it's too late to post them out. I'm heading down for some now so hope there's some left!

[1989_claret]

Can't wait for the Clarets to descend on Watford high street and pack the pubs. We will be in the Walkabout as it will be showing the early kick off.

You'd think that if this is the case, a message on the ticket purchase page would help inform fans of that!

[jrgbfc]

Just been down and got a couple and not many left apparently. If anybody's thinking about a last minute trip I wouldn't leave it much longer.

[Spike]

Only the underground is operating this weekend.
Overground line from Kings Cross/Euston to Watford Junction is closed.
The underground journey can take well over 1 hour particularly when having to change en route.

We are getting the train from Piccadilly to Milton Keynes then rail replacement bus from there to Watford Junction.

We are on train from Preston then Bus from MK Cons. wot time you leave MK? We are on 1057 Bus

[Targetman]

Think our bus time is 10.35, arrive Watford 12.20.

We did a similar journey with Avanti to West Ham a couple of weeks ago at Easter when Euston was also closed.
We got the bus from M Keynes to Bedford then train from there to St Pancras. On both outward and return journeys the replacement bus service was very efficient and there was no waiting around.

For anyone wanting a drink before ko, they don't sell alcohol in the ground. The closest 'away' pub to the ground is the Oddfellows, situated between the Town Centre and the ground. In fact 2/3 mins walk from the ground.

These were the pubs on my radar once in Watford, after a few round Kings Cross and en-route:

Just Park have spaces within 10 mins walk too. Lowest prices are £3.68. Very specific!

[box_of_frogs]

As several have mentioned, Oddfellows is the closest. The spoons on the high street is always full of clarets.

[box_of_frogs]

The TFL weekend email says no disruption on the Met line (barring the reduced service due to wonky wheels). Therefore anyone coming into Euston or Kings X can get to Watford tube station relatively easily.

Anyone advise which, if any, pubs will be showing tomorrows game v Watford?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance

Could be illegal to do that.
Plus the pub could be pretty peed off too?

[IanMcL]

Arrived and parked a mile from the ground, as usual.
Bit busier than usual. Another 30 yards added to my walk!

Very sunny!

[jollyjack]

Bit late now but Euston to Bushey is closer to the ground than Watford Tube
