Diego_Sideburns Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The Matchroom Stadium, Brisbane Road, Leyton, London, E10 5NF The stadium has seen a lot of redevelopment in recent years, with the construction of three new stands, financed largely from the proceeds of selling part of the Brisbane Road site to a property developer, with the corners filled with blocks of residential apartments, Away fans are housed in the South wing of the East Stand. Directions: By Road: From the North: From the M25 take the M11 (unless you're coming from Cambridge, in which case you'll already be on it) take the southbound carriageway for about 6 miles and take the right fork signposted for the North Circular. At the bottom of the flyover where the roads merge, move into the left-hand lane and turn left at the roundabout on to the A104. After about 1 mile at the next roundabout take the right exit - still the A104 (a landmark here is the quaintly-decorated Lamb's Cafe). Half a mile further on, turn left into Leyton Green Road (signposted to Leyton and Stratford), and left again into a short slip-road past the bus garage entrance and left into Leyton High Road, with the Leyton Leisure Lagoon opposite as you wait to make the turn. Continue until you see the floodlights From the South/South East via Blackwall Tunnel: Out of tunnel, continue on A102 following signs to Stratford, Dalston. Remain on the A102/A106 for 4.2 miles, following signs for Leyton, passing new Spitalfields market and over a bridge. At the lights just after Car Superstore, turn left into Oliver Road. Parking: Street parking available in the area. The club also has a secure car park (charge £5) at Spitalfelds Market, located just off Ruckholt Road near the junction with Oliver Road, and only a 5 minute walk to the stadium. Map of the area: http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GB|E105...105SQ|E10%205SQ By Train: The nearest London Underground station is Leyton (about a 1/4 of a mile away) which is on the Central Line. Come out of the station and turn right down Leyton High Road. Cross over the road to the other side and continue down it. You will come to Coronation Gardens on your left and the floodlights of the ground can be clearly seen behind them. Take the next left past the gardens into Buckingham Road for the ground. From Leyton Midland Road turn left towards Leyton and continue down the High Road past Leyton County Cricket Ground until you reach Windsor Road and the stadium is in front of you. By Bus: Nos. 58, 69, 97 and 158 run along Oliver Road. Transport for London For travel news, details of how to get around and tickets, click on link: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ Drinking: There is a supporters’ club at the stadium which admits visiting supporters at a cost of £1. It is located in the West Stand and is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. However, it can get uncomfortably full of people. Otherwise the nearest pub to the ground is the ‘Coach & Horses‘. To get there take a right out of Leyton underground station and walk down for about half-a-mile. It is on your left, within sight of the floodlights. The ‘Three Blackbirds’ is a little further up Leyton High Road, on the right. Also recommended is the ‘Birkbeck Tavern’ in Langthorne Road. From Leyton underground station, turn right and then right over an overpass that leads into the residential area behind the tube station. This pub is described as a throwback, a real old-fashioned boozer. Rita’s Special‘, named after one of the barmaids, is a real ale made specially for the pub by Courage and there are usually three guest ales. Disabled facilities: There is space in the stadium for 51 disabled spectators, each with a helper, spread between the East and West stands. For details of disabled facilities at the ground please visit the relevant page on the National Association Of Disabled Supporters (NADS) web site.
