Travel Zone: Away Grounds

Welcome to Coventry Travel Information. Please select an area of interest from below:

Club Facts [Top]

The ground has had two new stands constructed at either end, greatly improving the overall look. The club were looking to also improve the Main Stand, however opposition from residents has put the plans on hold.

For any other visiting team, a trip to Crystal Palace, nicknamed The Eagles, might be a relaxing day out - however with them being one of our most hated rivals there will always be some looking for trouble. Keep your eyes open, don't get involved with the trouble makers and you should be fine.

Away fans are seated in the Arthur Wait Stand, where up to 2,000 supporters can be seated. Don't expect this whole allocation to be given to The Albion! The total capacity of the ground is just over 26,000.

Food & Drink [Top]

There a plenty of shops selling food along the way, including fish and chips and kebabs.

Food is also available from within the ground before and during the game. All the regulars are available, including burgers and chips that are reasonably priced. No alcohol however is served to away fans, so if you do enjoy a pint before the game - you will have to find a pub on the way over!

Places to try are Wetherspoons, opposite Thornton Heath Train Station.
