WATFORD - VICARAGE ROAD
GROUND
Away fans are housed in the Vicarage Road Stand at one end of the ground. This stand is normally shared with home supporters (with the obligatory 'no-mans land' in between) or if demand requires it the whole of this stand (capacity 4,500) can be given to away fans. I've always found this club friendly on my four visits and have never had any hassle, although at times there can be a heavy police presence around the ground and in the town centre.
GETTING THERE
I have in the past parked in the centre of town and walked down to the ground. As the stadium is central it is difficult to miss, with the floodlights being clearly visible for some distance. Leave the M1 at Junction 5 and take the A4008 into Watford. If on nearing the town centre you can't see it on your left, just go around the inner ring road and you will soon spot it. There are also some private match day car parks available at some industrial units near the ground.
PUBS
The ground is in walking distance of the town centre, where along the High St you will find a few pubs including a large Wetherspoons outlet called the Moon Under Water. 'Macs Bar' in Fearnley Street, close to the ground is a small bar situated off Cassio Road and is clearly visible when taking the route to Vicarage Road from the town centre via Market Street. The pub is roughly a two minute walk to the away turnstiles. The Red Lion, outside the ground has for decades been our usual haunt at this place. Supposed to be a "home fans only" bar, but I've never had any trouble in the place.
TRAIN/TUBE
The nearest station is Watford High Street, a ten minute walk away from the ground. However you are likely to come into Watford Junction train station, which is about a 20 minute walk. Thanks to Albert Fuller for providing the directions from Watford Junction to the ground;
Leave the station & take main road straight opposite (Clarendon Road) all the way (over Ring Road at lights) up to the High Street. Turn left and go past past Wetherspoons (Moon under Water) on your right and then take the first right after 100 yards into Market Street. Continue along again crossing Ring Road to T junction & then left at an excellent chip shop. Vicarage Road is the next right turn. Should take around 15-20 minutes to walk.
Watford also has its own London Underground tube station, which is on the Metropolitan Line and is situated just under one mile from Vicarage Road. However overland trains from London normally have a shorter journey time.
