I suspect the police will designate the Harvester (5 minutes walk from your end), away supporters only on the day.
That will be your only option and indeed will be your only option even if they don't give it over exclusively to West Ham.
I doubt very much that you'll be allowed into the Power League after the Cardiff trouble earlier in the competition.

i'll be in colours mate, i'm to old for all that shit. You should be fine then  But Man City came here last year, and after the game some lads in man city colours, when one of them decided it was clever to sing "blue moon" out the back window, while trying get off the car park on the Power League, lets say they felt a lovely breeze all the way home up the motorway with no windows left, and a fucked car. As long as you ain't with any mouthy mates or in a group of mouthy mates ya will be fine though? Hope you go home a very unhappy person though ;D ( result wise ) |

milton mate im expecting a draw to be honest, but we are scoring freely at the moment. hopefully bergo will relive his nightmare..lol We will play diffeently in the cup, i expect us go out and attack from the first minute, to get the on the fans side, and get them behind our team. PS who is Bergo? do you mean Begovic? |

There's a limited choice by the ground, as mentioned, The Harvester, Power League and possibly the Holiday in Express, all three will be busy and probably have some sort of restriction on entry.
Don't go into Stoke town centre, all pubs are home fans only plus it's a bit of jaunt back to the Brit from the town centre.
An alternative is to get off the M6 at Stafford North (J14) and head for Stoke on the A34, you'll pass a few pubs on the way, or you can drink in Stone (about 20 mins from Stoke). If you come up the A34 you'll reach an island by Trentham Gardens, take the 3 rd exit and head towards Trentham / Longton. Trentham Lakes (where the Brit is) is about 1 mile from the island, you'll see signs for the stadium, this will bring you to the South Car Park which is the best bet for away fans.
Hope you have a better journey than I did last Saturday, but not the same result.
Take care and enjoy.

It always amazes me that Stone gets suggested as a safe place for away fans to drink  |

It took us from 12.30pm 'till 2.55 to get from St. James' Park to Upton Park on Saturday, we ended up at Canning Town and caught the bus up the Barking Road. The traffic was that bad that we got off before we got to Green Gates (?) and walked from there.
Must say tho' that journey along the Barking Road from Canning Town through Plaistow was an eye opener, what a shit-hole! Hope for your sake you're not local to Upton Park, rather, you live in some sleepy suburb mate lol!

I can't forgive him for the fact that my son tells me to "Jog on Mug" and has taught my two year old grandson to say the same. Lot to answer for has Danny Dyer. ;D
