Advice please!
I'm planning on going with a couple of chums on the train from Alty. Can anyone provide info on the best way to get to the Deva from the station? (Chester CFC websites seem patchy on the subject).
I assume it's too far to walk? Is Taxi the best bet to get there? Is there a bus from the ground back to the station after the game?
Any advice would be great!
You've got several options depending on how athletic/fit or how large your finances are! ...
1. To walk would be about 2.5 miles doing the direct route. This would be to walk up city road directly opposite the station entrance until you reach the junction at 'the bars' which is a very large roundabout with a block of offices in the middle. walking round it in a clockwise direction, the third exit is foregate street. Take this into the city centre walking straight on under the clock onto eastgate and then watergate street (after passing chester cross) until you reach the ring road. Go straight over and walk on for another 3/4 of a mile passing the racecourse on the left until you reach Bumpers lane on your left. The ground is signposted with a brown sign and it is a few hundred yards up there.
2. Get a taxi which will cost you about £3.50 (but obviously don't expect to get one back!)
3. get the shuttle bus which I believe still runs from the station to chester bus station and change buses to the Sealand road park and ride bus. This passes the end of bumpers lane and should stop. Some drivers don't stop (I know!) but even if you have to go to the terminus it's only half a mile or so back and there is a quicker way to the ground than going down to bumpers lane. As you walk back towards chester, take a right at the first traffic lights on to the industrial estate and the road goes round to the ground.
It's likely that you'll have to walk back to the centre of chester whichever way you arrive but there is a taxi rank at the bus station of you can't make all the journey to the station on foot.
My advice on the return journey would be to stop in at a pub (possibly Telfords Warehouse which can be found 200 yards on the left if you take a left at the Sealand chippy on the way back towards the racecourse) and get them to phone a cab for you whilst you sample a few frothy ones. sorted.
