Worksop FC Away – Tuesday 27th October

Worksop FC Away Coach – Tuesday 27th October

Supporters' coach travel for the Tuesday night trip to Worksop FC is now available to book.

The coach will leave The Docherty Walks Stadium at 4:00pm and tickets are £25.

As with the other away coaches, it will only run if the minimum number of bookings is reached. If that number isn't met, everyone who has booked will receive a full refund.

With this being a Tuesday night away, the coach is probably the easiest option for anyone wanting to make the trip without worrying about the drive home afterwards.

So if you're thinking of going, please try to book as early as possible and hopefully we can get this one confirmed.

Date: Tuesday 27th October 
Departure: The Docherty Walks Stadium – 4:00pm 
Price: £25 
Kick-off: 7:45pm

Worksop Town away – Tuesday 27th October

Unfortunately the club confirmed this morning that the supporters coach will not be running for this one due to low numbers of interest.

Anyone who had already booked coach travel will be fully refunded.

So for most people this is going to be one for the car on a Tuesday night.

Worksop Town play at:

KC Sofas Stadium 
Babbage Way 
Worksop 
Nottinghamshire 
S80 1UJ

Kick-off is 7:45pm. ([1])

The following places to eat/drink and travel information have been generated by AI as usual (and where it found the information), although one of the pub recommendations is based on somewhere we actually used last season.

IMPORTANT MATCHDAY INFORMATION

Worksop have confirmed that this fixture WILL BE SEGREGATED. ([2])

So away supporters will need to use the designated away entrance and away section rather than moving freely around the ground as we did for some fixtures last season.

TL;DR plan

* Coach: cancelled due to low numbers; anyone who booked will be refunded.
* Segregation: YES – confirmed specifically for this fixture. ([2])
* Tickets: Adult £18, Concession/Student £13, Junior 11–17 £7, 10 and under FREE with a responsible adult. ([3])
* Parking: there is no supporter parking at the ground. ([3]) ([4])
* Best pub/food option: The Station Hotel — we used it before last season's Tuesday night game after it was recommended by a local. Good selection of ales and they do food.
* Close-to-ground option: The Lockkeeper on Sandy Lane — open Tuesday from 7am–11pm, food until 9pm. ([5]) ([6])
* Town-centre option: The Liquorice Gardens Wetherspoons, open from 8am until midnight. ([7])
* At the ground: Worksop normally have their Snack Cabin, draught beer container and Tigers Den open for evening games, although with this match segregated the exact facilities available to away supporters may differ. ([8])

Tickets

Worksop's current 2026/27 league admission prices are:

* Adult – £18
* Concession/Student – £13
* Junior 11–17 – £7
* 10 and under – FREE with an adult. ([3])

Online tickets are available until 1pm on matchday. ([3])

Worksop also say tickets are normally available on the gate. ([9])

Children under 14 must be accompanied by a responsible adult, who has to remain in the stadium with them. ([3])

Because this fixture is segregated, make sure you buy/select the correct away supporter ticket. ([2])

Parking

This is probably the most important bit for anyone driving.

Worksop are very clear that there is no fan parking at the KC Sofas Stadium. ([3]) ([4])

The stadium parking is reserved for:

* Players.
* Directors.
* Officials. ([4])

They also specifically warn supporters not to park on the retail park access roads from Babbage Way, and the retail park itself has parking restrictions enforced by wardens. ([4])

So this is one where it makes sense to park away from the ground and walk in rather than circle around Sandy Lane hoping to find somewhere.

Worksop themselves say there are plenty of town-centre car parks and limited parking in surrounding streets. ([3])

I would probably aim to get there with enough time to park in town, eat somewhere, then walk to the ground.

Pubs & food

The Station Hotel 
Carlton Road 
Worksop

This would probably be my first choice.

We went there before last season's Tuesday night game after it was recommended by a local, and it turned out to be a very good shout.

There was a good selection of ales, they serve food, and being close to Worksop station it is also well placed for heading towards the football afterwards.

So if you're driving over and want a pint and something to eat before the match, this is probably the obvious place to try again.

The Lockkeeper 
Sandy Lane 
Worksop 
S80 1TJ

Another useful option, especially if you want something very close to the ground.

It is on Sandy Lane and Tuesday opening hours are 7am–11pm, with food served until 9pm. ([5])

It does the usual pub classics, burgers and lighter meals. ([6])

So another easy plan would be:

Lockkeeper → food/pint → football.

The Liquorice Gardens 
1A Newcastle Street 
Worksop 
S80 2AS

Wetherspoons in the town centre.

It opens from 8am until midnight on Tuesdays. ([7])

Usual Wetherspoons food and drink, so a straightforward option if you want to park centrally, eat cheaply and then walk towards the ground.

The Three Legged Stool 
Raymoth Lane 
Worksop 
S81 7DY

Another food option if you are arriving a bit earlier.

It opens 12 noon–11pm on Tuesdays, with food served until 8pm. ([10])

At the ground

Worksop are normally pretty well set up once you are inside.

For recent evening fixtures they have had:

* Snack Cabin serving food and drink.
* Their well-known chip bucket.
* A separate container serving draught beer.
* Tigers Den open before and after the game, serving draught beer and cider. ([8])

However, our fixture is confirmed as segregated. ([2])

That means the exact bars/food facilities available to King's Lynn supporters may be different from those available at unsegregated games.

I would therefore eat and have a drink before entering the ground rather than relying entirely on Tigers Den being accessible to away supporters.

Segregation

There is no uncertainty on this one now.

Worksop's ticket page for Worksop Town v King's Lynn Town – Tuesday 27th October specifically states:

IMPORTANT MATCHDAY INFORMATION – This fixture will be segregated. ([2])

So expect a dedicated away entrance and away section.

It also means once you are inside you are unlikely to be able to wander around to the home bars/food areas.

For drivers

This is really the main option now the coach is off.

The ground is fairly easy to get to by road, with Worksop saying access is straightforward from either the M1 or A1. ([11])

The main thing is:

do not expect to park at the stadium.

I would go with:

1. Arrive in Worksop with enough time to eat.
2. Park in the town centre or another legal public car park.
3. Head to The Station Hotel for food and a pint.
4. Walk to the KC Sofas Stadium.
5. Make sure you enter through the away/segregated entrance.
6. Kick-off 7:45pm.
7. Back to the car and home afterwards.

Train

Worksop station is actually only around a 10-minute walk from the KC Sofas Stadium. ([11])

The problem is getting there from King's Lynn on a Tuesday evening and, more importantly, getting back after a 7:45pm kick-off.

So while the station is convenient locally, this is still realistically a car trip for most Linnets supporters.

Simple Tuesday-night plan

1. Finish work and head for Worksop.
2. Park away from the ground.
3. The Station Hotel for food and a pint.
4. Walk to the KC Sofas Stadium.
5. Enter through the away section – the match is segregated.
6. Kick-off 7:45pm.
7. Back to the car and home.

Best options at a glance

* Coach: cancelled – refunds being issued.
* Segregation: YES.
* Adult ticket: £18.
* Ground parking: none for supporters.
* Best pub/food option: The Station Hotel – used last season and recommended by a local.
* Close-to-ground alternative: The Lockkeeper.
* Town-centre cheap option: The Liquorice Gardens.
* At the ground: away facilities may differ because of segregation.
* Kick-off: 7:45pm.

Not the easiest one now the coach has fallen through, but Worksop is still a fairly manageable Tuesday-night drive compared with some of the trips we have this season.

Don't forget the Mallard on Worksop Rail Station. Best pub in town.

Don't forget the Mallard on Worksop Rail Station. Best pub in town.

I believe we were going to go in there last year, but a local suggested The Station Hotel.

They are almost next to each other. If I'm there early enough will give it a try.
