Bristol Boy Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Available from AG.Just bought mine and apparently Doncaster operate the same sysyem as Forest, i.e. you have to buy one from a small ticket office, then enter the ground.If we do the business in the next two games, we may sell out of the 1,500 at Donnie and even Crewe, so, as Pontins used to say BOOK EARLY........that goes for trains as well, especially in blocks of ten!!

(apart from Cardiff)Wanted to go to Crewe aswell but wasn`t sure if they had a train station. Bristol had slaves, Crewe had trains. I'm pretty certain Crewe have got 2 nicknames, "Alex" & "Railwaymen" I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 There is even a steam train museum just down the road from the ground. Not my cup of tea but my old man can spend hours there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking her to Doncaster could be construed as forgetting your parental responsibilities.Crewe does have a train station. You can catch the 10.20am Irony Express out of Temple Meads. However, it looks like you might be on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avonmouth Docker Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Anyone going by road should avoid the Irony Bypass near Crewe as it looks as if it's going to be chokka............. and the Nantwich Road!!.extremely busy on matchdays!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avonmouth Docker Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Sorry, had to laugh at that! Crewe is of course famous for its association with the railway. ......... and Gwynneth Dunwoody!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Boy Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 If we win these 2 home games now we'll take 2000+ to both games....That could be tricky with 1,694 at Crewe & I think, 1,500 at Donnie.Like I said, book early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moth Eaten Pillow Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 That could be tricky with 1,694 at Crewe & I think, 1,500 at Donnie.Like I said, book early.Crewe open that little family stand at one end of the ground as overflow for away fans like they did when Forest went there I think. Donny can be extended to the usual 3k they let for away fans going on how many tickets we sell in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 OK come out of Crewe station and you are on Nantwich Road, turn left and walk down hill and the nest left is Gresty Lane. That is also one corner of the ground partitioned from the pavemnet only by railings. Stand there and you can see 90% of the pitch FREE! Presumably though youl'd be moved on for obstruction if you tried standing there for 90 mins. Other side of the road from this junction is a decent pub.

Guest joeroamin Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi Lads (Donny fan here)..The train station is in the town centre and the "new" ground is a similiar distance to belle vue (about 1.5 miles) but in a slightly different direction . It is right beside one of our out of town shopping malls (lakeside village). Shuttle buses run (free) every 5 -10 minutes on a match day ,or you could walk it in 20 -25 minutes . There are quite a few family orientated pubs reasonably close by the ground (beefeater ,cheswold..charlie chalks) maccy D's and Kentucky /pizza hut etc ,which would be a better bet than paying the extortianate prices in the ground !!Personally ,if it was me ,I would spend an hour (or 2) in the centre ,plenty of pubs ,really good fish and chips at one of the "rothwells" chippy's -alot cheaper beer etc and about 1400 would go to the interchange (beside the train station) and get a shuttle bus to the ground. Donny aint bad ,hooligan wise so should'nt be any problems ,but maybe best not to wear colours (or at least under jacket) in Centre .Enjoy your trip Donny does hold 3k though and I'm sure if the demand was there on the day they wouldnt be turning us away.

Avonmouth Docker Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Bristol had slaves, Crewe had trains.Swindon had trains too...........and look at their nickname!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joeroamin Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 forgot to mention that you can /will be allocated as many tickets as your club requests up to just over 3000 - I think it goes something like initial allocation of 1100 (ish) 2000 and a maximum of 3100 .And don't worry for the exiles oop north ,you can pay on the day ,you just have to buy from the ticket office before the game..Good win today btw -must be looking at an auto spot now surely !
