    In Carling Cup...

    Gettin :D

    Just what I was hoping for, a ****hole ground in the North to go to in order to build up loyalty points.

    Reckon it'll require many loyalty points to go? Really want to go as it'll be the day or so before I get my results.

    Well chuffed, despite the result really enjoyed my trip to Scunthorpe two years ago. Also love that the not606 swear filter makes Scunthorpe look funny...

    Haha true!

    How long does it take to get down there? Under 3 hours?

    Does anyone know if Accrington Stanley went to loyalty points last year?

    Takes 1:30 hours.

    Cracking away trip, pub, fast food, ground and 24hr tesco are all next to each other. Happy with that.

    Definate no-go for me - it'll be a weeknight and a bit far from Wolverhampton. Still, got Villa, Wolves and Stoke to go to in Sep and October.

    But, family are from just outside Exeter who drew Liverpool - great tie for the Grecians! Remember them taking Man U to a replay in the FA Cup 3rd round about 6 years ago. Grew up watching the legend that is Steve Flack strut his stuff at the other SJP.

    There is one pub right at the entrance to the ground called 'The Old Farmhouse', which as Bryan Woods informs me 'This pub welcomes all fans but no colours are allowed'. There is another pub near the ground called the Berkeley, a favourite haunt for away supporters. To find this Sam Smiths pub go past the ground (or park there first) and follow the main road towards Scunthorpe and it is on the left hand corner of the first roundabout you reach. On my last visit this 1930's/40's art deco pub/hotel had a pleasant mixture of home and away supporters and served good beer in a comfortable atmosphere. The only draw back was that it seemed that you could only park in their car park if you were staying at the hotel, as there was an automated barrier across its entrance.

    Steve Tucker adds; 'Found a great little pub called the Ironstone Wharf which is about a mile and a quarter away from the ground. It's on the A18 going away from Scunthorpe towards Gunness. After going around the left hand bend, the pub is located down on the right.'

    If coming by train, then the Honest Lawyer on Oswald Road is well worth a visit. Although a modern pub inside, it has been listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and has a number of beers on offer. Also on Oswald Road is the Blue Bell which is a Wetherspoons outlet.

    Across the road from the ground there is a Retail Park with a number of eating outlets such as a KFC & McDonalds.

    loyalty points? Was planning to get a membership card so I could go to some of the away games next season. Does this mean I will be unlikely to get tickets for games unless I have loyalty points?
