CHELSEA AWAY
Barclays premier league
Saturday oct 19th kick-off 3pm
Expected ticket release - sold out
Expected allocation - 1500
Visitors info :
Away fans are located on one side of the Shed End lower tier (towards the East Stand side), where the normal allocation for league games is 3,000 tickets. For cup games the whole of the Shed End can be allocated. The view from this area of the ground is pretty good and the refreshment areas are modern looking. There are televisions on the concourses, showing amongst other things at half time, highlights from the first half. A range of pies and pasties are on offer, including the Chicken Balti Pie (£3) and roll over hot dogs (£3.50). Alcohol is also available with Heineken & Guinness on offer at £3.50 a pint. There is also a 'meal deal' available for a pie and a pint (£6).
How to get there :
Leave the M25 at Junction 15 and take the M4 towards London, which then becomes the A4 up to Hammersmith. Carry on over the Hammersmith flyover and after a further one and half miles, take the turning Earls Court. Continue past Earls Court station and down the one way system until you reach the junction with Fulham Road. At this junction, turn right at the traffic lights and after about half a mile, you will see the ground on your right.

NORWICH CITY AWAY
Barclays premier league
Saturday October 26th kick-off 3 pm
Expected ticket release - Wednesday October 9th ( please contact travel groups for discounted travel arrangements )
Expected allocation 2000/3000
Visitors info :
Away fans are housed on one side of the new South Stand, on one side of the ground. As you would expect from a new stand the facilities and view of the playing action are good. The normal allocation in this area is 2,500 fans although this can be increased further for cup games. If you are located at the very back of this stand then you can enjoy some fine views across the city, including Norwich Cathedral. The Club I found to be particularly friendly and relaxed. I certainly would rate it as one of the better away days, even though it seems an eternity to get there. As Delia Smith is on the board of Norwich City, the food available within the ground has been spruced up a fair bit and is very good. The Club even bake their own pies which not only include the usual array such as steak & kidney, chicken & mushroom, but also a number of 'matchday specials' (which change from game to game) such as beef in red wine gravy & cheese, mushroom and garlic.
How to get there :
The ground is well signposted from the A11 and A47. From the southern bypass (A47) take the A146 into the city. At the traffic lights turn right towards the city centre on the A1054. At the next roundabout stay in the left hand lane and continue towards the city centre along the A147. At the next set of traffic lights, turn right into King Street. This street as it bends around to the right and crosses the river becomes Carrow Road, the ground is further down on the right.
The best car park for away fans is Norfolk County Hall, which is well sign posted on the left of the A146, as you follow signs towards the ground from the Southern Bypass. It is currently £6 and can hold about 2000 cars, and does usually fill up by 2pm for games where the away team bring loads of fans'.
Where to drink :
The main pub for away fans is the 'Compleat Angler', which is located opposite the railway station. It is situated on a river bank and has a nice outside terrace outside overlooking the river. The pub itself is a bit basic but offers food and is away fan friendly. It is a about a ten minute walk away from Carrow Road. Otherwise Norwich has a number of pubs located in its centre, in fact on one visit I found a number of good pubs situated in-between the train station and the ground, that were friendly.
Away fans prices :
The Bluebirds’ make the near 250 mile trip to Carrow Road and Norwich City on Saturday, 26th October (kick-off 3pm).
The club have confirmed to make a subsidy on coach travel for this game, enabling fans to travel to Norfolk for just £5 via our official supporters club and official coach travel outlets.
Tickets available to all Season Ticket holders and Gold Members on a first-come-first-served basis at 9am, Wednesday 9th October.
Prices:
Adults @ £35
65+ @ £25
Under-17s @ £20
Under-12s @ £12
ASTON VILLA AWAY
Barclays premier league
Saturday October 7th 2013 kick off 3pm
Expected Ticket release date - Monday 14th october at 9 am
Expected allocation -approximately 2400 (2900 if full allocation is requested)
Visitors info :
Visiting supporters are now located in the Doug Ellis Stand as opposed to the North Stand that was used for many years. As we speak the allocation is around 3,000 fans and the main reason for the visiting supporters being moved was a request by, then manager, Martin O`Neill who wanted Aston Villa supporters located at both ends of the ground behind the goals.
Away fans are allocated both the upper and lower tiers of the stand and entrance is by entering your ticket in to an electronic reader as is becoming more familiar with many modern grounds these days.
In the upper tier the concourse is not particularly large and does tend to become overcrowded. In the lower tier there is more space and you have the luxury of wide screen TV`s to watch while enjoying a selection of reasonably priced food, from Burgers to Vegetable Samosas and Fish & Chips to Southern Fried Chicken! With prices ranging from just £2 up to around £4.
Darren Williams a visiting Manchester City fan adds; 'We have always park at an entertainment complex called StarCity. It is just off Junction 6 of the M6, going towards Villa Park. Huge free car park, plus plenty of food and drink outlets. It is then about a mile and half walk to the ground'. Please note that alcohol is not available to away fans inside the stadium.
How to get there :
By Train:
Witton railway station is about a 5-10 minute walk from Villa Park and Aston railway station is approx 15-20 minutes.
By Car:
Northbound on the M6 leave the motorway at junction 6, Villa Park is clearly visible from here.
You come to a roundabout and you need take the exit for the city centre, A5127. Follow the A5127 towards the city centre keeping in the right hand lane towards the traffic lights. Turn to the right into Aston Hall Road and on the bend you need to turn left under the small bridge.
You will then see Aston Leisure Centre on your right hand side. Follow the road around and turn right at the traffic lights in to Witton Lane, you will then see Villa Park directly in front of you.
Parking :
You are going to find mostly street parking available around the ground and with that comes the usual `Mind Your Car` service from the local kids! You are advised to avoid street parking on match days though by the local police.
There is a residents only parking scheme around the area so be careful.
