Details for Saturday's away game
Chorley have very kindly sent us some advice for Darlo fans ahead of Saturday's game between the clubs.
If you’re visiting us as an away fan, groundhopper, curious observer or first-time local resident here’s all the info we think you need to have a great afternoon with us.
Tickets
Admission is £12 adults, £9 over 60s/NHS/first responders/armed services, £7 students (with valid card), £5 12-to-16s & FREE for accompanied under-12s.
Turnstiles, usually at both ends of the ground, open approximately two hours before kick-off.
Food & Drink
Everyone is welcome to enjoy a pre-match drink in the social club, which is situated on the left of the main entrance after the turnstiles. The bar provides a friendly pre and post-match atmosphere where you can enjoy a pint while watching live football on TV (subject to availability).
As for food, The Magpies Nest serves a selection of hot and cold snacks, plus our famous butter pie. Why not try one with peas and gravy?
Match day Programme
Magpie Review is available is available from sellers around the ground, priced £2.50. They are also on sale in the Club Shop from midday on match days.
Parking
With the limited parking at Victory Park reserved for players and officials, the most convenient place to park is just off Pilling Lane, with spaces costing £3 on a first-come-first-served-basis. Car parks in the town centre are generally FREE after 1pm on Saturdays and street parking is available too, but please respect our neighbours and don’t block or cause obstruction to driveways.
For those of you using public transport, Chorley train and bus stations are an easy ten- minute walk away.
Town Centre
Chorley boasts a great selection of micropubs dotted around the town centre, all worthy of a visit. Notably The Ale Station, Shepherds' Hall Ale House, The Bob Inn, Toastie Tavern, The Shed and Bootleggers. All are within a half-mile stroll of the bus station.
That stroll would also take you past other real ale pubs well worth a visit, notably club sponsor The Crown Hotel. After its recent transformation you can’t miss the new bright orange exterior!
We hope you enjoy your afternoon with us, and if there is any information you feel is missing don’t hesitate to drop us a line on Twitter or Facebook (@chorleyfc).
