Yes. Nothing much around the ground,id say perryvale is the closest tube station around a 10/15 minute walk across Ealing golf course. Don't fall for going to Ealing tube station its a bus ride as I found out the first time I went.

There is a pub on the north circular road "perryvale farm" same group has Birchwood that do meals at a very reasonable price considering its London.

The ground is very small and compact but always a warm welcome and worth the visit,not sure its equipped to deal with a large following.

Hope that helps

I was thinking the same but when I go down there I normally stop in a little hotel in Watford, which is quite reasonably priced, and get the train into London. I've looked at the maps and Watford to Ealing looks a pain in the a***! Gonna have to look for somewhere to stop thats easier to get to Ealing I think.

Booked 2 nights at the London Greenford Hotel Premier Inn for two at a cost of £134.00 B &B
B. Looks to be a very short distance from the ground, have a look, Google map it. Got this from another supporter on the supporters Facebook who say they have also booked it. Hope this helps.

In staying at the Premier Inn Ealing on the Saturday going by train early Saturday. Looking forward to it.

Hotel 0.7 miles from Ealing Broadway tube.

Hotel to ground 1.7 miles

Twin room with breakfast £71.00

Sounds good, I’ll take a look. Cheers!

Just a thought for anybody who is looking to stay over in London for the Broncos, the game comes at the end of the first main school holidays of the year for a lot of the local authorities in and around the Midlands. You might want to think about booking accommodation early rather than nearer the date due to availability and possible price hikes as London is likely to be a popular city break that week.

I saw the club post the ticket prices for this game and they have them in stock in the shop,
charging £23 for adults, £18 for concessions.

I went onto London’s website to see what was covered as a concession ticket and spotted that they are charging
£20 for adults and £15 for concessions, no postage print your tickets at home....

Which made me uncomfortable and start to think,
Why are the club charging us fans an extra £3 per ticket?!?

Interestingly my first reaction to that, is why are LONDON charging away fans more than they are charging home supporters! Suppose it is all about your personal attitude to the people running the Cas Tigers?

Fair point Aid and I wish this was the case, i did jump to the conclusion that it was CAS charging more and it seems I was correct to do so...

Just checked London site and they are £23. Not sure why they are selling the Wakey ones at £20, maybe it’s just that the opposition isn’t quite as attractive.

Answers on a postcard!

Think EARLY and BIRD are the operative words here.
Wakey n Cas prices are 23 quid. Wigan EARLY BIRD tickets are 20 quid. Maybe London's EB prices only last so long before the price goes up?

Well spotted there Fryston I’ll give you that one.

Glad I took the opportunity to pick a handful up online when they were at £20...
Prehaps if we’d had taken the same approach as Wakey and offered our own fans the early bird price the club would have taken my £100 and not London, another missed opportunity eh?...

I would rather pay the extra money so the club got it but each to their own.

Snap that's a joke hadn't even seen tickets advertised I'll be buying
From london.

Tickets on the London site are now £23. Best buying from Cas as we’d then get a percentage of the £23

Eh I always thought you got discount asking as you purchased tickets up front last year?

Booked premier in about 1.5 mile away from ground. First time driving down London. Cheapest option is to drive down for myself and 3 kids. What's the traffic like round that area and what am I looking at for fuel cost roughly for round trip from Cas?
