TRIVIA National Rail Stations Within 10 mins walk of a Football Stadium

[Fleetwood Boy]

Horwich parkway for the as was Reebok- Bolton.
Crewe for Gresty Road- Crewe.
Blackpool North for Blackpool.
Stockport for Edgely Road- Stockport County.
Buxton for Silverlands- highest ground in England.
Aston

I’d be surprised if Blackpool North was within 10 minutes walk of Bloomfield Road?

Anyway. My contribution is Cartsdyke which is less than 10 minutes walk from Morton’s ground at Cappielow in Greenock.

 

[swt class 450]

Lewes is about a three minute walk from a football stadium. It is just around the corner from the station.

St James Park.

Maybe not but Blackpool South definitely is.

Another one is Daisy Bill for New Sirs, home of Daisy Hill FC.
Given the number of teams in the football pyramid there must be hundreds, if not thousands, of these

 

[Alex C.]

Fratton for Portsmouth (when the barriers are open!)

 

[Gwenllian2001]

Grangetown for Cardiff City.

 

[Crawley Ben]

Lewes is about a three minute walk from a football stadium. It is just around the corner from the station.

The stadium is/was known as 'The Dripping Pan' if I'm not mistaken?

Cheers

Do Coventry City still play at the Ricoh Arena?

They do, but you try getting there for a match....

 

[Hooligan]

Paisley St James is about 2 mins from St Mirrens ground

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Taunton Town's Wordsworth Drive ground can be walked from the station in 10mins, providing you get a wiggle on and leave via the platform 2 exit rather than the main ticket office. The cricket ground is nearer still.

 

[Stampy]

For 118 years Stamford's ground backed onto the Station (until they moved in 2014 to a pit-hole 3 miles further away) - many a time a ball has been chased into the tunnel there!!

 

[Ian22012]

Maidstone East and Maidstone Barracks are both within 10 mins walk of the Gallagher Stadium

 

[underbank]

Lancaster - only a couple of minutes walk.
Barrow - if you can walk fast.

 

[HLE]

Do Coventry City still play at the Ricoh Arena?

Yep. The stadium is a 30 second walk from the station......probably and possibly the closest!

Most usage occurs when Wasps are at home as they get higher attendances than the football.

 

[HLE]

They do, but you try getting there for a match....

Don’t get that? Double dogbox on the weekends.

 

[matacaster]

Huddersfield!

 

[GlosRail]

Newport and Swindon just about possible in 10 mins if you walk fast.

 

[53703]

Mansfield station is not a million miles away from Field Mill
A few years ago you could've had Cardiff Central for FA/League Cup Finals and Wales games
The Hawthorns for West Brom
Witton for Aston Villa

 

[alangla]

Dalmarnock is probably about 10 minutes walk from Celtic Park since the new road & footpath past the Emirates arena opened in 2014

 

[kilonewton]

Cowdenbeath

 

[RPI]

Bordseley for B**mingham City, Lelant Saltings for St Ives town (no one said they had to be league sides!)

 

[MisterWhippy]

St Neots station literally backs onto the ground. I know it’s not a league ground, but it’s still football.

Lowestoft Town can also be added to the list.

 

[Matt_pool]

Marine
North Ferriby

 

[dmkc]

Hamilton West - Hamilton Academical FC would maybe just sneak in

 

[ijmad]

St James Park is right next to Exeter City's stadium.
Watford High Street and The Vicarage (Watford FC)
Falmer Station next to Falmer Stadium (Brighton and Hove Albion)
Canons Park and The Hive (Barnet)
Drayton Park and Emirates Stadium (Arsenal)

 

[theageofthetra]

The mighty Fisher FC are a ten minute walk from Rotherhithe.

 

[theageofthetra]

The stadium is/was known as 'The Dripping Pan' if I'm not mistaken?

Due to it's proximity to the Harveys brewery I believe.

 

[Steveoh]

Notts County from Nottingham

 

[HowardGWR]

We Bristol Rovers fans are mourning the fact that our station (Stapleton Road, Eastville) is still there, just a few hundred yards from the ground, but they shooed us away and built a b****y IKEA on our stadium!

Our friends and rivals City, at Ashton Gate, are still happily there, but they sadly lost their adjacent station. If the Portishead line is reinstated, especially if a tram train, I expect it will be reinstated, even nearer to the ground.

 

[Andrew1395]

Watford High Street - if you know the route through the Girls Grammar school is half a mile to Vicarage Road stadium, so seems to fit the ten minute guiotine
