They had FC Utd there recently with 1200+ on.

Suspect parking will be the major issue, suspect Ash's travel solutions will come into play

Beat me to it. Anybody would think you know more than me

Hopefully, but sadly there will be nowhere to park them!! Nice people with a good pitch, but litterally a football pitch with dressing rooms, a bar and a stand surrounded by fields.

I know I was there pre-season.

I've been looking on National rail enquiries and it's £9.10 return from Blackburn and around a 35 minute trip direct to Kirkham & Wesham station,which in turn (looking on Google maps ) looks only a five minute walk to their ground...

15% of 1950 equates to about 290 tickets !! Mad scramble follows for them tickets if that's the case !!!

Will season ticket holders get first option or what?

coach and ticket price combo would be spot on

smudgie · 22-10-2012, 21:51

Capacity is 1950

AFC Fylde is based in an area called ‘The Fylde Coast’ located between Blackpool and Preston.

Kellamergh Park is located in WARTON. EXIT via Junction 3 M55 (signposted A585 Fleetwood/Kirkham).

Up approach and turn left towards signs for Kirkham. In around 3/4 mile you will approach a roundabout. Then follow the signs for Wrea Green and Lytham St. Annes (2nd exit) B5259.

After another 500 yards you will approach a new roundabout (go straight on) and 1/4 mile you will go over main Preston/Blackpool railway bridge and drop down almost immediately to a small mini roundabout (pub on left called Kingfisher). Carry on straight over this and up to main roundabout (another 200 yards) at junction of main Preston/Blackpool A583. Go straight over roundabout and drive on into Wrea Green Village.

At 2nd mini roundabout in the centre of the village (Church on right and Primary School) take left turn into Bryning Lane, signposted on The Green (small white signpost) to Warton (2 miles).The Green will now be on your right as you exit out of the village and in around 1.8 miles you will come to the Birley Arms Pub on your left.

Turn left at The Birley Arms Pub Car park and continue to drive through the car park down an access road and park in the Main Club Car Park located behind the Main Stand.

Approximate mileage from motorway to the new ground is around 5 miles and will take around 10 minutes in a car to travel.

Nearest Railway Station: Kirkham & Wesham 4 miles away, (For a Taxi - call Kirkham Macs on 01772 683003).

Hi Folks - AFC Fylde supporter here. My understanding, although the necessary meetings with Police etc have yet to take place, is that it will NOT be all ticket as we are not expecting to reach the new ground capacity of 2300. Since you came in pre season a new terraced stand has gone in at Kellamergh Park which runs the whole end at the Wrea Green end. You can see this on the AFC v FC United highlights on youtube. I would also not expect any segregation as we managed without v FC United and I would hope it would not be necessary for a game against yourselves. New turnstiles have also been put in for away fans so we now operate across 7 turnstiles rather than just the 3 you will have seen the past 2 pre season games.

Parking is the biggest issue but the club are working with Bae on this and for those that travel by train the club run a free shuttle bus from various locations in Kirkham.

We are excited to get you guys in the 1st round as we have an excellent realtionship already through the pre season games and hopefully you will enjoy your day with us.

thanks for all the info but do you know if there is ample parking either in the club car park or around the area or will it be a problem and also could you confirm the railway station is 4 miles away
as estimating the distance from Google maps it looks to be closer to 1 mile
