Guest Bilo Posted 25 August 2009 Posted 25 August 2009 I dont know if youve had a reply to this so far because I cant be arsed to read through.But... The train station in watford is great, and really not that far from the stadium. Lots of good transport links from the station to the ground aswell(bus, taxi etc). Id say maximum ten minute walk from watford high street station to vicarage road. Thanks for the info mate but my trip to Watford is sorted courtesy of Lou.
AjcW Posted 25 August 2009 Posted 25 August 2009 Thanks for the info mate but my trip to Watford is sorted courtesy of Lou. ahh nice one, im driving too... id say its probably the best option.
AoWW Posted 25 August 2009 Posted 25 August 2009 Parking round Watford is a 'mare though. Or at least it was for me last time. (Perhaps I missed somewhere obvious but it took me blummin ages to find a space.) Ended up parked at some Grammar School - but be warned... they pack you in so tightly that you have to get back to your car asap after the game - and there were dire warnings about this. Basically you have to wait for other cars to be returned to and moved before you have a chance of moving out of your parking place. Staying for post-match drinks were not an option unless you moved your car somewhere else.
CosbehFox Posted 25 August 2009 Posted 25 August 2009 I parked at a school last time and it was defo no grammar school. Didn't have a problem getting out either. Ever since a rather tame showing against ten men, I feel like we have unfinished business here. Just don't really get Watford....top of the league atm and the stadium was silence.

The train station in watford is great, and really not that far from the stadium. Lots of good transport links from the station to the ground aswell(bus, taxi etc). Id say maximum ten minute walk from watford high street station to vicarage road. It's Watford Junction station, not "high street". Just watch out 'cos there is another Watford station and it's not very convenient for anything, even trains. Watford Junction is on the direct line from Nuneaton, which is the easiest way to get there from Leicester, or you can go into London and then get a quick train out from Euston. I agree, trying to get from Watford on the train is a 'mare. Parking round Watford is a 'mare though. Or at least it was for me last time.

IOWFOX Posted 26 August 2009 Posted 26 August 2009 should reach priority 3 this one shouldn't it? will be the first time at an away game that isn't southampton, cant fookin wait
Basingstoke Fox Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 should reach priority 3 this one shouldn't it?will be the first time at an away game that isn't southampton, cant fookin wait Yes! It should be good, though anything is better than those Southampton games!
lou Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 Thanks for the info mate but my trip to Watford is sorted courtesy of Lou. I parked at a school last time too and wasnt too far away.. didnt have any probs getting out either? Must have been a different one to AOWW. I'll definately avoid the Grammer School then!
LCFC-ARAB Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 should reach priority 3 this one shouldn't it?will be the first time at an away game that isn't southampton, cant fookin wait one thing guaranteed, this will be the BEST away game you've ever been too

Fez of Mahrez Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 It's Watford Junction station, not "high street".

Watford Junction is on the direct line from Nuneaton, which is the easiest way to get there from Leicester, or you can go into London and then get a quick train out from Euston. Watford High Street is the other station in Watford. You change at Watford Junction at the bay platform at the south end of the station onto the branch line out to Croxley Green. Watford High Street is the first stop and it's a 10 minute walk to the Vic from there, as opposed to 20 minutes from Watford Junction. Depends how lazy you want to be, really.

Floating Fox Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 Last time I went to Watford, we got the tube to Watford...(Not sure what stop that is) and walked to the ground then after got the Train from the Junction station afterwards...Easy to find as it's signposted... One thing though...Junction station isn't included in a London Travelcard!

One thing though...Junction station isn't included in a London Travelcard! That's because travel cards are zones 1-6! Watford Junction doesn't even fit in a zone! Watford High Street is zone 8 though.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 Someones been checking out the Football Ground Guide! Not at all! I'm used to getting the train there from where I live, easy as. Unfortunately this is one of about 3 games I'm going to miss this season.
James. Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 Not at all! I'm used to getting the train there from where I live, easy as. Unfortunately this is one of about 3 games I'm going to miss this season. Two things: 1. 2. Burial & Four Tet? There's an interesting combination... Where'd you find that?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 Two things:1. 2. Burial & Four Tet? There's an interesting combination... Where'd you find that? Can't remember, some blog. It's great. Try Google Blog Search for it, else I'll email it to you when I get a chance one evening. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

lou Posted 27 August 2009 Posted 27 August 2009 Ok fair enough. Just that the wording was very similar to what the Football Ground Guide said. Well maybe Fez writes that too!

Guest Bilo Posted 28 August 2009 Posted 28 August 2009 Good pricing Can see us selling out the initial allocation for this. Agree with you on that. The pricing is spot on, even £22.50 without a concessionary discount isn't bad to be honest. 1500 will probably be snapped before General Sale and I'm glad I put in my pre-order in July. How many extra can they give us if and when we sell out the initial allocation?
maddog Posted 28 August 2009 Posted 28 August 2009 £12.50 is very good, could be going to this one EDIT: And not just because of the price because i haven't been there before, and want to watch the mighty LCFC
LCFC-ARAB Posted 28 August 2009 Posted 28 August 2009 £12.50 is very good, could be going to this one EDIT: And not just because of the price because i haven't been there before, and want to watch the mighty LCFC Unless we lose to Peterborough
