COYR, Can't help with the names of pubs, but keep an eye out if you are on your own. Peterborough, surprisingly, have a nasty bunch of boys who have regularly had a pop at the games that i have been upto London Road. Not big in numbers, but a horrible bunch with a chip on their shoulder who like to try and make a name for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, I don't know the name of the pub, but one on the main road outside the ground used to charge you to park, but give you a voucher for that amount to use in the pub. That was a few years ago though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 The Cherry Tree on Oundle Road is still visiting fan friendly. Coming from Lichfield on the A14/604, cross the A1 onto the A1139 Fletton Parkway. As you approach each junction there is a number in one of the bottom corners of the direction signs. Junction 3 turn left onto the Nene Parkway and get into the left hand lane. Off at the next junction "Orton Malborne & Woodston Industry", up that slip road and turn right crossing the parkway. Down Morley Way and left into Shrewsbury Avenue. At the end there's traffic lights where you turn right onto Oundle Road. Less than a mile along on your right side is The Palmerston Arms, a Bateman's pub that sells guest real ales & ciders. Also on your right will be The Boro Bar, but that's home fans only. Then on your left comes the Cherry Tree. In the past they've allowed you to park there for a fee which is partially refunded if you then buy a drink in the pub. If not bothered about pubs, drive just a little further, pass under the railway and immediately turn left into a large pay & display car park. The ground is diagonally on your right. with pedestrian crossings to get over London Road. On London Road opposite the ground is a KFC if you want a bite before or after the game.

22A Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Cherry Tree is fine, avoid the Beehive. You have to pass the Beehive if coming by train, but if you can, cross the road early and that puts a fenced dual carriageway between you & it.

cider11 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'll be going in 1 of the 2 wetherspoons either the drapers as you walk to the centre from the station or out the way a bit to the college arms which is cheaper and not as busy. If the drapers doesn't look too busy I'll go in there if I'm feeling too lazy to walk to the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
