WP,
Checked AA route finder.I am hoping to do it in 4 and half hours from Stoke.Do you think this is possible.Must admit driving up there is not a problem,but driving back and then being at work for 6am is something i am not looking forward to.
But it is for Stoke ;D

On a good run you should be able to get home in 3 hours. I'm on nights, I've booked the night off. I might spend all day Thursday in bed ;D.
I remember driving back from Gillihoof 3 years ago, I put my foot down all the way home got in at 2:30, straight to bed alarm goes off at 5:30 drive to Derby for a 10 hour shift.
BTW we were toss and lost 2-1

He broke my shin pad and cut my left shin to ribbons with a studs up challenge. It hurt like hell, but I couldn’t show it. I carried on playing until half time and when I came into the dressing room Micky Bernard was sick because he could see my shin bone.

I told Doc Crowe, “Just strap it, cause I’m gonna do the bastard.” There was revenge to be had.

parking is a fucker to be honest , i'd go with the advice on the internet football ground guide

How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
At the end of the A1(M) continue on the A1 and then the A184 towards Newcastle. Continue along this road, bearing left onto the A189. Continue over the River Tyne on the Redheugh Bridge, from which the ground can be clearly seen. Carry on straight up the dual carriageway (St James Boulevard). This leads directly to the Gallowgate end of the ground. As the ground is so central there are a number of pay and display car parks in the vicinity.

Jason Adderley a visiting West Brom fan adds; 'An easier way into the City is to stay on the A1 until the exit for Westerhope. Leave the A1 go straight over two roundabouts and then follow the signs for the Royal Victoria Infirmary (Queen Victoria Road) - parking here is in a multi storey and allows a reasonably quick getaway after the game'.

Peter Luckett informs me; 'The traffic in the city centre can be a nightmare and so is parking. My recommendation for fans travelling from the South is to head for Heworth, which is near Gateshead adjacent to the A184. It has a Metro Station and a long term car park where you can leave your car for a cost of £1.10. You can then catch the metro direct to the stadium at a cost of £2-40 return.

For a map showing the location of the ground click here (to take you to the Street Map website).

Markscfc71,

I am taking my son(having wed ) off school.I am working on the idea it will go to extra time and penalties.Reckon i will be back home by 2am.But i want him to go to school on the Thursday,i will be taking a sleeping bag for him on the way home.My wife is worried about it and would rather he did not go.He is 12 and loves Stoke City and i would love him to come with me.Needless to say he says he will be ok for his next day at school.
Also his form teacher has booked the day off so he can also go upto SJP.

I’m a teacher and would love to go, but you can’t book time off and if you ‘bob’ the day and get found out you’d be in deep trouble.
