Palermo (in Chesterfield) - Fri 26 July, 7pm ko.

[guest123]

Any priority points generated? Somehow?

[Qwerty]

What a performance!

Screen froze, had to use my sons’s ipad instead, tried to log in to the account I’d created but it said invalid, tried to create a new account but couldn’t as email had an account already!  So had to create a new account on another iPad using another email address!

It's under the normal away tickets section on the site.

Cheers  for some reason I didn't even think to check there. Went straight to Chesterfield's site expecting something!

Sorted a couple no problem. As you buy them it implies they'll be posted, but seconds later the e-tickets (pdfs) arrived. Very simple.

Just a heads-up folks…. my e-ticket went into my Spam folder so check that folder first before panicking!

Anybody else trying to get tickets for this, stuck in a queue that hasnt moved at all

Might have something to do with a lot of the worlds IT systems going to hell today

Chesterfield site is back up and running.

Anyone know roughly when to get to this to try and meet some players before the game? 

[red5]

Anyone else realise the seats are upside down compared to normal and the front (pitch) is at the top?

 Hadn't noticed no!

I thought I was midway between middle and back, looks like I'm actually midway between middle and front.

What’s the deal with the empty middle block

The seats upside down???

 

That's going to be damn uncomfortable for those who refuse to stand at Away games!

I wonder if they're keeping extra space for both squads and management teams.  

 

I'd imagine there's not going to be much space on the benches during pre season with all the rotation and what not.

Parking is full and it looks like there's limited parking near the ground.

Anyone got any useful info. re. where best to park, or which bus runs to the ground from the city centre?

[Stuntman_Mike]

Only just noticed it's a 7pm kick off.

For some reason we have lots of car parks despite being a town (people want to see the church!!). There is a multi story at the end of Saltergate, and also a big open car park opposite (in the middle of a junction). I would go for one of them if I were you.

 

It's then about half an hour walk to the ground, but it's pretty much a straight run, and Stagecoach run plenty of bus options. You either need to start walking then jump on a bus or walk towards town first to catch one, but I'm sure the Gold 50 goes past the ground as do routes 43 and 44.

 

I wouldn't call around the ground limited but I would be more careful. Tesco is big but on match day it's something like two hours max, just like all away grounds. There is also a smaller set of shops but it's probably the same thing. If you drive past the ground (towards Sheffield) there might be free road parking as there are shops up there.  To be honest I'm sure there is a chargeable car park behind Dominoes, as I've parked in there to go to a nearby restaurant, but I've not tried it for a couple of years now.

I see three blocks behind the goal have been opened up for us now.

Thanks very much for that.

I parked at Asda about a 5 minute walk away when I went to watch Chesterfield lift the trophy last season. Used Justpark or similar IIRC.

You can book parking at the local Tesco which is 5 minutes walk apparently 

[syston_fox]

I’ve just used Just Park and booked a parking space at Sainsbury’s for £4. 

[Permafrost]

Quite a few going tonight. 2,800ish?

The stand we're in holds 2,902 which we've near as damn it sold out (minus the centre block), plus we've sold a fair few behind the goal too.

 

On one side is the Van Yard Main (West) Stand. This stand has a capacity of 2,902 seats on a single tier, with a glass fronted executive lounge at the rear. The players emerge from the tunnel at the centre of the stand, whilst the centre seating of the stand is taken up by the Directors Box, Sponsors and Legends seating areas

That's crazy parking in town and walking to the stadium. Use the YourParkingSpace website/app to pay a few quid and park next to the stadium.

Sainsbury's? I'd definitely cancel that and rebook in the Tesco
