Any Accrington Stanley fans travelling to watch the Reds play away at Woking should read this guide as there are quite a few things that you will need to know when visiting Woking.
Food and Drink
Should you feel the urge for a quick (or long) when youa rrive at Woking then you should be warned that mosts pubs in and around Woking will not allow fans wearing colours of the opposition in a bid to cut down any trouble that may happen if the two sets of fans clash. One of the pubs that will allow fans of both clubs is the Sovereigns on Guildford Road. The Sovereigns is a good old fashioned boozer. Have a game on the pool table before sipping proper ale and eating the resonably good food they have on offer. The Sovereigns is highly recommended. The litten tree is the pub closest to the ground but does not serve the best beer and is pretty expensive and should only really be used as a last alternative.
Chip Shop 'Mr Cod' is the nearest chipshop to the ground and although its chips are not bad the portions that you will recieve are not worth the money paid. Alldays provides overpriced takeaway sandwiches and other small snacks and is handy to purchase food that you can take into the ground for halftime.
Tickets
Tickets are priced at £11.00 for adults, £9.00 for Senior Citizens and £5.00 for under sixteens. Wheelchair users are allowed in with a helper for £10.00 (£10.00 covers both the disabled and the helper) and it is advised that you contact the club befrehand.
Additional Info
Programmes cost £2.50 and are on sale in and around the ground. The club's address is Woking Football Club, Kingfield Stadium, Kingfield, Woking, Surrey, GU22 9AA. Yopu can also ring the club on 01483 772470 or email admin@wokingfc.co.uk
