Title: Aldershot Pubs
Post by: The_Doctor on Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 07:35:38
Where is everyone drinking tonight? La Fontaine was decent enough last time right near the away end.

How far is the Crimea from the ground ?

Any idea if they have parking there ?

This should answer your question.  The Crimea is on the right; and the ground on the left.

From Football Grounds.

'Travelling fans are also reminded that the Away turnstiles (11 and 12) are not at the front of the ground but via the park entrance accessed off Redan Road (Hill). The walk from the High Street entrance to the Away turnstiles can take 10 minute so allow plenty of time, and factor in potential queues due to there being only two turnstiles

They missed out "through a little park you might get attacked and bum fucked in"

Been to Aldershot a few times and always entered via the Park turnstiles but paid to get in. Tickets I have say "South Stand Terrace" which is uncovered and no mention of gate number(s). Does that mean I can get access from the main road end? :hmmm:

I have a ticket in the covered terrace so I presume that there is a separate turnstile? Or is it a bundle to see who gets under cover first!

On my uncovered terrace ticket it doesn't say a specific turnstile, so I assume we all go to the same entrance via the park. Hoping there is no barrier between the covered and uncovered, I don't really care about getting wet but I want the bette atmosphere.

Pretty sure there is a fence between the covered East terrace and the corner uncovered terrace.

I'm in the covered terrace too. Gonna leave early and scout the area out.

From memory the turnstyle doesn't take you straight into the terrace, there is an open air area behind the terrace. I imagine the actual entrance to the covered terrace will have stewards on the entrance checking tickets.

There is a divide between covered/uncovered terraces I think.

This is all based on my memory of that JPT game a few seasons back so might not be totally accurate.

For the covered terrace, we access the turnstile via Redan Road right ??

If that's the road up the little hill that leads you through the park then yes

There is no segregation between covered and uncovered. Get in early to avoid a drenching, or get cosy....we're all friends.
