How do I get to the ground?
Postcode is GL52 5NA/ Take junction 10 of the M5, taking the A4019 to Cheltenham. When you come to the large roundabout with McDonald’s, turn left. Go over the mini roundabout and then turn right onto Swindon Lane. Head over the level crossing and next roundabout. Then turn right towards Gloucestershire University. At the bottom, there is a roundabout where you’ll turn left and the ground is signposted from here.
What stand are we in?
We will be housed in the Hazelwood’s Stand at one end of the ground.
Parking information:
There is no parking available at the ground on matchday. Alternatives within 10-15 minutes of the stadium include: Parklands Community Centre (GL52 5PR), Portland Street (GL52 2NX), North Place (GL50 4JL). The ground is in a residential area but spaces are limited after 2pm.
Public transport information:
The nearest train station is Cheltenham Spa at the other side of the town to the stadium, around two miles / 40-minute walk.
Pubs for away fans:
There are pubs for away fans within a fair walking distance of the stadium, but popular ones with away fans are: The Brown Jug (GL53 7NB), The Five Alls (GL53 7ND), Norwood Arms (GL53 0AX). There is a bar called the Robins Nest at the ground which usually welcomes away fans. Last season near to the away turnstiles was a fanzone for away fans serving alcohol. Unsure whether this will be the same again for this season.
Food and drink in the ground:
Standard football food such as pies available in the ground along with hot & cold drinks.
Because of the layout (view of the pitch), no alcohol is available once in the ground. Both cash and card is accepted at the food kiosks.
Can I get a programme?
Cheltenham no longer produce a printed programme.
Flag policy:
Flags must have fire safety tags and placed following stewards instructions and they must not impede advertising boards.
