Woking Away (Now official thread) - All Ticket

[horam267]

After the poor performance yesterday by our 'B' side and the thought of a long dark winters evening in Surrey. Is it really worth travelling for the replay?

 

[Beach Hut]

Not really, cannot be bothered besides isn't it Champions League that week which is far more important

 

[Bob!]

I'll let you know in a few minutes after the 2nd Round draw has been made.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I'm pretty sure the evening will be just as long and dark in Sussex, it's not exactly the Arctic Circle up there you know.

 

[Husty]

depends on who we get in the second round, if its a good team I just wont go, if it someone shit ill go to enjoy 'superfan' status and the likelyhood of a win

 

[8ace]

I'm going

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

YES.

 

[porkypie]

Think i might go, its only up the road!

 

[horam267]

Home tie against FC united of Manchester.

Woking it is then

 

[Bob!]

Home tie against FC united of Manchester.

Should be worth the trip to Woking then

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Well up for this now!

 

[BensGrandad]

Think Poyet will put out a reasonable side to beat Woking with the prospect of a plum 3rd round draw.

Just read this on the Woking site:

Please note: We recommend that, for personal safety reasons, women and young children do not walk unaccompanied to Kingfield Stadium. It would be advisable to take a taxi from Woking Station direct to the ground, costing approximately £4.

Is it a bit rough round there then?

 

[tonymgc]

Sounds a delightful place!

Yup. It's just like the Bronx in those mean Slurry suburban streets.

 

[8ace]

Yup. It's just like the Bronx in those mean Slurry suburban streets.

Think I will give this one a miss then.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

read on the non league ground website that the grounds is in a posh part of town

 

[Djmiles]

£12 return with a railcard and £12 match ticket. I'll be there!

The Kingfield area is drab suburbia like the rest of Woking, and it's odd that they're giving out that advice, especially considering it's right by where the sixth form college is so loads of unaccompanied young women wander there from the train station. I can only think that the issue is how quiet it is, ie just residential streets, rather than the safety of crowds, but that presumably wouldn't be an issue for the Woking v Brighton game, given how close to capacity it should be (will be a bigger gate than Saturday if it sells out). You get a few gangs of narky teens in baseball hats hanging around the leisure centre next door to the ground, but that's about it. Think of it as Portslade with GCSEs.

I hope it's televised. I would have thought it was locked on before the second round draw, but now I'm not so sure ESPN won't go for the double-header "will they or won't they" of televising the AFC and Franchise games.

 

[Durlston]

Woking seems a nice town with some good pubs near the train station, O'Neills is probably the best from what I can remember but nowhere to drink near the ground. They've got one amazing stand that could grace the Championship at least but the rest of the ground is poor.
