  • Nantwich Road independents

    A handful of local cafés and shops away from the main matchday routes.

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Crewe diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

Crewe station is a major interchange, so trains can be crowded with non-football passengers on matchdays.

Ground note

The walk down Gresty Road passes close to the away end — allow extra time if arriving near kick-off.
