I seriously don’t think there is a better situated ground in the Country

I would add, Huddersfield, SheffU, Chelsea, Arsenal, Wolves, Peterborough, Leyton Orient, Brentford (new ground), Sunderland, Blackpool, Southampton, Hartlepool... Add 5 mins to your walk, and Derby is unbeatable.
Then there are the wastelands that are MKD, Reading, Harrogate, Forest Green, Stoke, Manure, Liverpool etc etc etc... | | | |

You'll like Exeter, then. Nice little stadium, mahoosive car park nearby with everything you could ask for nearby. |
A depressing 10-minute walk. A bit of a dive that half of town | | | |

Newcastle
Middlesbrough
Watford
Cardiff |
Cardiff’s too far out to meet the criteria. A good 25 mins walk from the centre and there’s not a lot around it. |  |

Watford?
Not really near a station & no decent pubs in the vicinity. |  |

It’s got 2 stations and a tube station all with 15 mins walk. I’d say it’s very much similar to ours in location and that same older style town centre type (and a bit in style with the stands having been developed multiple times and at different times). | |

As a kid I went to Hartlepool once (no idea why) and I seem to remember the ground being very close to its town centre - it was a long time ago so could be wrong.
Also, isn’t Peterborough’s ground next to the train station and city centre as well??? |  | | |

Watford is superb because if you are taken ill you are right next to West Herts Hospital. |
or lincoln city with the police cells right next door town centre and railway station minutes away |  |
| forensic experts say footers and spruces fingerprints were not found at the scene after the weekends rows |

One glaring issue with that link, they've put Coventry at 185m, but neglected to mention that the railway station is closed on all matchdays for ironic reason that a train station built for a stadium will be used too much when the stadium is used. |  | | |

You could go in the home end like I did last time we sold out. I got stuck right behind a pillar though in a packed stand and couldn’t move, so wouldn’t recommend! | |

Not having been to Vicarage Road for thirty years, I have to ask:
Do the away fans still have to go yomping through allotments to reach the ground? |  | | |

The ground is about 10 minutes from the station. City centre is even closer with plenty of decent places to eat and drink. So Peterborough is a good call as a bonus for me it is an away day that is two stops away on the train. [Post edited 3 Jun 2022 0:44]

No. Away fans are in the other end these days. | | | |

Las time my friends & I went to a pub in Hammersmith & took a bus to the game. Yes, the pubs around QPR are awful. | |

Fair point about the station access, but the pubs near Watford are unrelentingly awful. | |

Was that Belushi's? Fcking atrocious place.
I spent a pointless 45 minutes trying to get into various pubs on Uxbridge Rd. Ended up with a load of cans in a park near the ground. QPR should be a much better away-day than it actually is. |  | | |

The OB are always worried at QPR and prevent boozing whenever possible. |  |
