Eastbourne Borough V Stags
Saturday 31 January 2009, 3:00pm
Destination:
Sports Club, Priory Lane, Eastbourne, Sussex, BN23 7QH
Distance to ground:
216.7 miles
Parking:
There is a good sized car par at the ground which holds 400 cars, which is free. However do not park on Priory Road or the surrounding areas.
Eating out:
There are kiosks within the ground where you can purchase fast food. With the ground being situated on the outskirts of the town there are not many places within walking distance of the ground. There is a pub which serves food called The Friday Street Farm. This is located on Friday Street.
Mine's a pint:
The club is situated on the very outskirts of town, so there is little in the way of local pubs. There is a large Clubhouse at the ground that has two bars; the Sports Bar, and the smaller Happy Jacks Bar. However, for larger games this may be only open for home fans. Alternatively there are three pubs within 20 minutes walk of the ground; The Martello Inn on Langney Rise, The Kingfisher Tavern at Langney Shopping Centre and The Friday Street Farm which is a pub/restaurant in Friday Street.
Stopping over in Eastbourne?
There is a Premier Inn which is located one mile away from the ground on Willing Drove. There is also The Chatsworth Hotel which is located on The Grande Parade.
Travel information
Car:
From the direction of Brighton on the A27 take the A22 towards Stone Cross and Westham. At the next roundabout take the first exit again towards Stone Cross and Westham. Continue towards Stone Cross village until you will come to a crossroads, with a church on your left and the Red Lion pub on the. Turn right just past the pub onto the B2104 Friday Street. At the end of Friday Street, turn left at the double mini-roundabout into Hide Hollow (B2191). After passing Eastbourne Crematorium on your right, turn right at the roundabout into Priory Road. The entrance to the ground is about 200 yards down the road on the left.
Train:
Although the nearest station to the ground is Pevensey and Westham, which is just over a mile away, it may be more practical to head for Eastbourne station instead. Although Eastbourne Station (which is served by trains from London Victoria) is around four miles away from the stadium, it does have public transport links and a taxi rank, where as Pevensey & Westham does not.
