STADIUM ADDRESS

Mornflake Stadium

Gresty Road

Crewe

Cheshire

CW2 6EB

ABOUT THE GROUND

The Alex have played at the Mornflake Stadium (traditionally Gresty Road) since the turn of the century.

It became an all-seater stadium in 1990 and is rather unique in the fact it has no dugouts - with teams being allocated a section in the Main Stand.

CAR PARKING

Rather conveniently, there is a large pay and display car park at the stadium, which costs £3.50 to use.

Spaces are usually readily available at the stadium, but on the off chance you struggle to find a spot, the Weston Industrial Estate is free to park at and is only 1.2km away from the ground.

ENTERTAINMENT AND REFRESHMENTS 

To drink:

The Railwaymen Bar and Lounge can be found next to the Whitby Morrison Ice Cream Van Stand and will open at 5.30pm today, and typically shows any live football before kick-off.

There are many pubs within walking distance of the Mornflake Stadium, which are all away-fan friendly. 

The Corner Bar at the Royal Hotel, The Cheshire Inn and the Brunswick are all popular on matchdays, and if you park on the Industrial Estate, the Brocklebank Pub is also a recommended choice.

To eat:

There are also various takeaway outlets along Nantwich Road and the surrounding area, along with the highly-rated Benny’s Fish and Chip shop opposite the stadium.

There is a wide range of food available at the ground, with typical items such as pies, cheeseburgers and hot dogs all available for selection.

GETTING THERE

By car:

The Mornflake Stadium can be accessed by two junctions off the M6, but it is easier to get there by leaving at Junction 16.

Exit the M6 and follow signs for Crewe on the A500 and then the A5020. At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit and continue to the next roundabout, where you should take the first exit. 

Continue to follow signs for Crewe Town Centre and go straight over the next roundabout onto Weston Road.

The industrial estate car park is on the right here, but to continue to the stadium, take the first left at the roundabout, and take the second left down Gresty Road.

By train

Rather handily, you will be able to see the ground as you exit the station.

Once you exit the station, turn left out of the main entrance, and walk down to the second left, marked with the road sign Gresty Road.

WEATHER

It will still be sunlight by the time today's game starts in Crewe, with rain not expected tonight. City supporters should expect a moderate breeze in Cheshire with highs of 13°C.
