from footy ground guide.

Robert Nunn a visiting Reading fan informs me; 'Myself and a friend parked in Longford, about a ten minute walk away from the stadium, and found a host of pubs situated along Longford Road. Whilst most looked quite partisan and only had Sky Blue shirts in, the "JK English Pub" was most welcoming. This Indian/Pub had a pub feel (pool table, jukebox, etc) but was also an Indian restaurant. On Saturday's it also does a £5 all you can eat lunchtime buffet'. To find this pub, coming away from the North Stand at the Ricoh, follow the towpath over the canal for about 400 yards passing the Tesco Extra on your right (which also has a cafe). When you come on to Longford Road, head right, towards Coventry City Centre and the pub is around 200 yards on your right hand side. Phil Cull a visiting Watford fan adds; 'You can also park your car in the JK English pub car park for a cost of £4. It is then around a 15 minute walk to the stadium. After the game there was no problem in driving back to the M6'.
Jamie Greenway adds; 'The Black Horse Pub, in-between Longford and Exhall has been attracting a fair amount of away supporters for most games. If you go to the top of Longford Road and around the roundabout towards Exhall, its on the right and normally has a burger van outside'. It is also only five minutes walk from the Leisure Island Parking area (see below). Also in this area is a Novotel that also has a bar. Alternatively alcohol is also available inside the stadium in the form of bottles of 500ml Carling Lager at £3.10 each. Although on my last visit I wasn't too impressed to be served a warm bottle from an open tray, rather than a chilled one.

There is also a bus from the Pool Meadow Bus Station to the ground for £3.00. This should allow drinking in The Flying Standard which is the usual Away fans pub in Coventry City Centre a short walk away from said Bus station.

Yeah, not the best is it. For those interested, you'll be able to buy tickets on the day.

That's from town to the ground mate - You're more than welcome to stay sober but we were planning on getting you rat-arsed on arrival so you urinate in public and go mental to Guns n Roses again.
