Title: Crystal Palace
Post by: DaveDRFC on September 24, 2009, 05:15:32 pm: I know it's ages away yet but just wondering if anyone has any tips for driving to Selhurst Park (other than simply, don't)?

I generally prefer driving to away games rather than get the coach or the train but this one looks a real pain in the arse!

It is a real pain to drive to so I'm on the train. Sorry.

park yer car up then get the tube to palace,hence tube back to your car after game
and back up north in yer car

would say it will put a extra hour on travelling time getting across london on the tube as i guess you will bea tad wet behind the ears on that score

GOOD CAR PARK, BUT THINK IT STOPS ART EVERY STATION UNLESS YOU CHANGE AT WEMBLEY OR BAKER STREET

'JUBILEE LINE: Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December, suspended between Stanmore and West Hampstead. Two rail replacement bus services operate.'

Looks like there is a lot of work going on in London that weekend so those going from Stanmore maybe need to think again.

Going to be a long day but this is my awkward one sorted, should have every Championship ground done by the end of the season!

Anyone know what its like for a beer near the ground (Norwood Jnc looks closest station)
