GETTING THERE
By coach
The Supporters’ Club coach leaves Kingfield at 1.00pm and costs £10 for members and £15 for non-members. Phone or email (shop@wokingfc.co.uk) the Club Shop today to book your place.
By road
The directions given on the Farnborough website are as follows. Head for the M3. Leave at Junction 4 and take the A331 signposted to Farnham. After a few hundred yards exit at the second slip road - signposted A325 Farnborough - turn right at the roundabout and cross over the dual carriageway and a small roundabout. Pass the Farnborough Gate shopping centre on your left and at the next roundabout turn left onto the A325. Go over a pelican crossing and at the next set of lights take the right filter into Prospect Avenue. At the end of this road turn right at the roundabout into Cherrywood Road. The ground is half a mile on the right.
Farnborough FC say that there is ample parking at Cherrywood Road, and the cost to park at the ground is £3, which includes an official matchday programme in the price. Programmes will cost £2.50 inside the Stadium. There is also a free car park at the nearby Farnborough 6th Form College, which is just five minutes’ walk from the ground, and is said to be much easier in terms of congestion in and around the ground.
By rail
The ground is about a 25-30 minute walk from Farnborough Main station. Trains from Woking to Farnborough Main leave at 19, 35 and 49 minutes past the hour and take between 9 and 13 minutes e.g. the 13.19 arrives at 13.32, the 13.35 at 13.44 and the 13.49 at 14.02. Trains back are at 16, 32 and 46 minutes past the hour. Leave from the station approach and turn right onto Union Street i.e. with the railway line on your right. After half a mile turn right at the traffic lights onto Prospect Road, go under the railway bridge and follow this road over two mini roundabouts and a real one (where it becomes Cherrywood Road). The ground is half a mile beyond the third roundabout.
OTHER INFORMATION
Farnborough FC have also supplied the following information.
The turnstiles will be open from 12 noon, with the Boro Burger Kitchen serving food and a section of the Cherrywood Bar will be open for Woking supporters to enjoy.
Ticket prices are £12 for adults, £8 for concessions, and £2 for children under 16. Tickets can be pre-purchased or bought on the day (subject to availability). Woking fans have been strongly advised to purchase tickets in advance since space for away supporters may be limited: see news item headed ‘Farnborough tickets’.
The Cherrywood is the main bar at Farnborough FC. It has a great pre-match and post-match atmosphere which both sets of fans will now be able to enjoy on matchday. For those early arrivals the club will be showing Manchester United versus Everton on their big screens - Kick-off 12.45pm.
