Portsmouth v Newcastle Travel News

Last updated : 28 September 2005 By Footy Mad - Editor
GROUND
The Inter-cash Milton End is a former terrace and a bit of a tip to be honest, if compared to other Stands in the Premiership. The facilities are not good and the legroom is tight. It can accommodate just over 3,000 and is divided between home and away support.
PUBS
The Good Companion is on the main A2030 road, about a 5 min walk to the ground. The Devonshire is closer, as is the Harvester, but avoid the Milton Arms, Shepherds Crook and the Newcastle Arms. The Brewers Arms and Connaughty Arms are popular with away fans.
GETTING THERE
Go along the M27 (ignoring the M275 turn off for Portsmouth town centre) ands continue on to the A27. At bthe junction with the A2030 turn right towards Southsea/Fratton and just continue straight along the A2030 and eventually you will see the ground in front of you.
TRAIN
The nearest local train station is Fratton, which is a 10 min walk to the ground. Portsmouth train station is at least a 25 min walk to the ground.
