Diego_Sideburns Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) NOTE: This information may be out of date in a constantly changing world.The Matchroom Stadium, Brisbane Road, Leyton, London, E10 5NFThe stadium has seen a lot of redevelopment in recent years, with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 end of the East Stand.Disabled facilities:There is space in the stadium for 51 disabled spectators, each with a helper, spread between the East and West standsDirections:By Road:From the North:From the M25 take the M11 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.By Tube: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.By Train:From Leyton Midland Road station 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 LondonFor travel news, details of how to get around and tickets, click on link:http://www.tfl.gov.uk/Where to drink: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, very popular with Latics fans. 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. It has Sports TV screen and children are welcome. NOTE: The word on the street in March 2014 is that the locals are no longer giving this pub their custom due to the rank quality of the beer. Leyton Technical is a new (March 2014) pop-up pub in the old Town Hall, with its unique interior, at 265B High Rd, London E10 5QH (two minutes from Leyton Tube Station). Open from 4:00pm to 11:00pm on Tuesdays and 12noon to 11:30pm on Saturdays, it has a range of real ales, craft beers and premium lagers, and serves quality British food. http://leytontechnical.com/ The Three Blackbirds is a little further on, on the opposite side of the road. It is handy for those arriving by mainline train as it is next to the Midland Road mainline station. It is a huge pub with two bars, three pool tables, jukebox, sports TV screen, arcade games, large garden and a playground. Food is cheap and plentiful, of the steaks, chips and burgers variety.The Birkbeck Tavern, on Langthorne Road. is recommended for drinkers of real ale. As you exit Leyton tube turn left away from the ground. Follow the path for 20 yards and there is a gap in the railings with steps leading down to the road below. At the bottom of the steps turn left and follow Station Road as it straightens up parallel with the tube line (behind a row of houses), and at the end of the road follow it to the right as it joins up with Langthorne Road. You should have a high brick wall on the left hand side, behind which is a graveyard. The Birkbeck is on the left 200 yards down Langthorne Road and can be seen from a distance.Link to information on pubs in the area:http://www.leyton.info/pubs/Food:There are numerous outlets for food of many nationalities along Leyton High Road.

the_mighty_bosh Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Been planning to go all season but with Shrewsbury in the midweek before it I'm not sure my budget can stretch that far unfortunately. At least it looks more likely than not to happen next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only £5 in advance, instead of £16, if you buy an under 18s ticket from BP ("for my sister") look youthful and don't smell of alcohol when entering the ground.

Diego_Sideburns Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Pub details at the start of this thread have been edited to take account of this post on the OASIS messageboard: The coach and horses is best avoided tues, locals don't go in anymore as beer is so rank as landlady doesn't clean the lines often. There is a pop up pub now next to the Library two mins from station...its got much better selection of beers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
