 Monday, 20th Feb 2012 12:20 For those that havent visited Vicarage Road before or the wonderful town of Watford we once again furnish you with all the info you will need Getting there
By Car A fairly simple trip by road which shouldnt take more than about 90 mins even accounting for the horrendous stretch of the M25 as you go past Heathrow. Take the M3 and then head on the m25 signposted Heathrow, stay on the motorway for around 20 miles, you come off at junction 17 for Rickmansworth and then follow signs to the A412 towards Watford, after about 2 miles take the A4145 in the direction of watford and follow this for around 4 miles, this road will bring you right to Vicarage road which is situated to the South of the town centre. Parking Being not far from the Town Centre you can use the car parks there or otherwise its the usual match day car parks that spring up in nearby schools and industrial estates, as normal if you park on the street watch out for the parking restrictions etc. By Train There are two options to get there by train, the first is to change at Clapham and then take a direct service to Watford Junction, the 9am from outhampton Central arrives at Clapham at 10.11, leaving plenty of time to get the 10.39 to Watford, which takes around 40 minutes, the same times apply for the 10am & 11am service, given that Watford Junction Station is about a 20 minute walk from the ground, you would be cutting it fine to take a train after 11am. Alternatively you can go to Waterloo, take the tube to Euston and then a train to Watford Junction, although this has just about the same travel time as the first route.
The Stadium Saints fans will be housed in the Vicarage Road Stand, in times gone by away supporters would get a bigger proportion of the end than the half that we get now, however Watford allocate half of it to there own supporters, meaning this will be another of those games when we will fill out the 2,200 capacity away section whilst in other parts of the ground there will be around 4,000 empty seats, most of which will be in the other half of our end. Underneath the stand is the smallest concourse ever, its baically a tunnel running the width of the stand about 6ft wide at best, leaving little room for queues for toilets and catering facilities. I dont believe that beer is sold in the ground. Eating Drinking Etc Given the availiability in the ground its advisable to eat and drink before you get in, luckily enough being near the town centre there are plenty of outlets to let you do so, just behind the Vicarage Road end there is a retail street with plenty of takeaways etc as well as several pubs, the Oddfellows Arms always being popular wth away fans, walk another five minutes and you are right in the town Centre which has the usual selection of chain pubs etc
