Not heard anything about a coach for this game as yet. Once I know I shall post details of either coach, driving or train - had a quick look at the train around 4 3/4 hours with 2 changes and costs £99.30.

General Discussion / Merthyr Town FC Away
December 31, 2025, 05:12:02 PM
Merthyr Town FC - Saturday 3rd January 2026 - kick off 3.00pm
No coach for this one - I don't know why, but my guess would be not enough fans wanting to make the longest away day of the season - I would have been on the coach had it been going.
The following list of pubs / eats made by AI as normal, but with the car drivers in mind looking to make the long trip.
You'll be heading to Penydarren Park (CF47 8RF); the ground's a short stroll from the town centre, so the easiest plan is: park in town → pubs/food → walk up to the ground.
Pubs (town centre, 10–15 min walk to the ground)
The New Crown (High St) – lively central pub; does a Portuguese-leaning food menu as well. Good for mixed groups.
Tripadvisor
The Winchester (CAMRA-listed) – traditional pub pouring Rhymney beers; proper "pints and chat" spot.
CAMRA - The Campaign for Real Ale
Belle Vue Hotel (Glebeland St) – big sports pub with plenty of TVs; handy if you want space and quick service.
Craft Union Pubs
(Very close to the ground but more "local") Penydarren Social Club – popular nearby option; check door policy on the day.
Facebook
Quick eats (before you head up)
New Crown – does meals all day (easy if you're already there).
Tripadvisor
Ocean Fish Bar (Penydarren) – chippy/kebab/pizza up near the ground; perfect if you're cutting it fine.
oceanfishbarpenydarren.com
McDonald's (Cyfarthfa or Rhydycar retail parks) – the guaranteed fast option on the edge of town.
McDonald's
Parking for drivers (recommended)
No general parking at the ground. The club says matchday spaces at Penydarren Park are very limited/reserved and they strongly discourage parking in surrounding streets.
Merthyr Town Football
Use town car parks and walk up (about 5–10 mins):
Castle Multi-Storey / Castle Street – large, central; council tariffs show Sat £1 all day; Sun free; weekdays up to £3.50/day. Also has EV chargers.
merthyr.gov.uk
College Car Park (by Merthyr College, CF48 1AR) – big, easy access from the gyratory; same council tariffs.
maps.merthyr.gov.uk
Blue Badge: council guidance says charges still apply in council car parks—display a ticket with your badge.
merthyr.gov.uk
The club's recent matchday guides repeatedly point away fans to Castle Street Multi-Storey or College Car Park and note that on-site spaces are reserved (with only limited disabled bays). Plan for town parking and a short walk.
Merthyr Town Football
Club bars?
Merthyr have Romans (downstairs) and Webleys (upstairs) at the ground. For some fixtures these are home-only, so safest bet is to do your pre-match in town then head in.
Merthyr Town Footbal
Rough timing
Driving is about 4h 15m (not counting stops). Aim to be parked in town ~90 mins before KO, do New Crown/Winchester, then 10–15 min walk up Park Terrace to the turnstiles.

So if anyone has a question or questions they'd like asked please post them here and I'm sure some of the people attending can then ask them for you.

General Discussion / First Team Management
October 14, 2025, 12:16:46 PM
From https://www.kltown.co.uk/2025/10/14/update-first-team-management/
We know there have been questions about the club's managerial position, and we wanted to share an update.
Following recent changes, Joe Simpson was asked to take interim charge of the first team. He has shown real professionalism, maturity, and commitment to the club during a challenging period.
After careful consideration, the club has decided to continue with Joe leading the team, supported by an experienced structure around him. Paul Jones has returned to assist on the coaching side, and an experienced external advisor has joined to support Joe across all areas of management.
This approach provides stability and continuity while ensuring Joe has the right backing to keep the team moving forward. We'll continue to review the situation on a week-to-week basis and make decisions in the best interests of the club.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and unity. It would be great to see as many of you as possible backing Joe and the team this Saturday against AFC Fylde at the Docherty Walks Stadium.

General Discussion / Scunthorpe United what to do pre-match
October 10, 2025, 11:59:21 AM
A little guide on pubs & food created with AI help. I've put the postcodes in for the pub's as the ones on the King's Lynn website are wrong - but at least they are giving some more info on away games now, just needs a little polishing. (as normal AI lists it's sources of info)
Near the ground (best bets, all 2–6 mins' walk to turnstiles)
Old Farmhouse (Hungry Horse) – DN15 8TE – the classic away-fans pub next to the stadium; big car park, cheap pints, all-day pub grub. Great for groups.
Football Ground Guide
hungryhorse.co.uk
Iron Bar (at the ground) – Scunthorpe's own bar; usually admits away fans on matchdays. Handy for a last one right before you go in.
Football Ground Guide
Berkeley Hotel (Samuel Smith's) – DN15 7DS – large, traditional pub just along Doncaster Road (about a 5-min walk); good overflow option if Old Farmhouse is rammed.
CAMRA - The Campaign for Real Ale
Quick eats by the stadium (retail park stuff)
You've got loads within a few minutes' walk: McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut on Gallagher/North Lincs retail park next to the ground. Ideal if you arrive tight for time.
McDonald's
kfc.co.uk
If you arrive early and fancy the town first
Blue Bell Inn (Wetherspoon), Oswald Rd (town centre) – big, cheap, food all day; roof terrace; ~10 mins from Scunthorpe station, then taxi/bus to the ground.
J D Wetherspoon
Timings for the coach folks (leaves The Walks 11:15)
It's a touch over 2 hours, so you'll likely be at the Attis Arena/Glanford Park area around 13:30–13:45. That gives you a simple rhythm: Old Farmhouse → Iron Bar → turnstiles.
Football Ground Guide
Drivers: parking & pointers
On-site stadium parking (DN15 8TD): £5 per car on the day; £4 if booked in advance via the club; over 600 spaces. Blue Badge: free, first-come. Avoid retail park car parks (time-limit enforcement on matchdays).
scunthorpe-united.co.uk
King's Lynn Town FC
If you're parking at the ground but want a pint first, do Old Farmhouse or Berkeley and stroll over.
hungryhorse.co.uk
Inside the ground
Usual kiosk fare (pies, burgers, chips, hot drinks); cards generally accepted.

General Discussion / Royston Town what to do pre-match
September 23, 2025, 10:29:59 AM
A little guide on pubs & food created with AI help. The Jolly Postie looks interesting, maybe something could be done with out old GPO building in town like this - just a thought.
The following is generated by AI, but does cite where in the info came from.
Royston is an easy rail day and everything's walkable. Here's a solid pre-match plan near Garden Walk (SG8 7HP) and the station.
Pubs (all central & walkable)
Banyers House (Oakman Inns) – stylish, big inside, proper bar plus all-day food (breakfast → late), wood-fired pizzas; good if you want tables and a relaxed vibe. ~6–7 min from the station; ~8–10 min to the ground.
Acorn Pubs
The Old Bull Inn (High St) – classic coaching-inn style hotel bar with a separate restaurant; open from 8am daily. Handy base in the absolute centre. ~8–10 min from station, ~8–10 to the ground.
the-old-bull
The Jolly Postie (Baldock St, McMullen's) – lively pub for pints, cocktails and the full grill/pizza menu; sun-trap terrace out back. ~7–8 min from station; ~10–12 to the ground.
McMullen
The Green Man (Market Hill) – traditional town-centre pub; good for a quick couple in the square before wandering over. ~10 min to the ground.
Royston Town
Heath Café Bar (Royston Heath) – if it's nice weather, this is a pretty spot on the heath (views), ~15–20 min walk from town; better for a chilled pint/brunch than a big session.
Royston Town
Royston Town Clubhouse (at the ground) – matchdays usually have the club bar open with drink promos/snacks; perfect for a last one before you go in.
Instagram
Quick eats (pre-match friendly)
Banyers House – pizzas, burgers, pastas; food served all day, so no awkward gaps.
Acorn Pubs
Old Bull Inn – pub classics; serves lunch and Saturday service through to the evening.
OpenTable
Jolly Postie – burgers, rotisserie, pizzas for a faster turnaround.
McMullen
Getting around (train → pubs → ground)
Royston station → Garden Walk is roughly ½ mile (10–15 mins on foot), so you can pub in town and stroll over.
Ground address for bearings: Garden Walk, Royston, Herts SG8 7HP (Town Hall car park SG8 7EF is the main one if needed).
Royston Town Football Club
Sample itinerary (arriving 2–4 hours before KO)
T-3h: Start at Banyers House (easy for food & a sit-down).
Acorn Pubs
T-2h: Drift to Jolly Postie or Old Bull Inn for a couple.
McMullen
T-45m: Walk to the Clubhouse at Garden Walk for a final pint and team news.
