Phil Parkinson’s squad aims to extend their impressive performance as they prepare for an upcoming match in London. The game is scheduled to kick off at 3 PM, with Wrexham’s passionate supporters, known as the Red Army, having been allocated 3,016 physical tickets for the event.
Fans who have not yet collected their tickets from the Racecourse Ground can do so at the Jimmy Seed Stand Ticket Office until two hours before kickoff. The Valley, located in southeast London, boasts a capacity of 27,000, where Wrexham supporters will be situated in the designated Jimmy Seed Stand.
For those planning to arrive early, turnstile access will begin at 1:30 PM, and fans are advised to arrive ahead of time to avoid any potential delays. Importantly, the stadium enforces a cashless policy, so attendees should prepare by bringing a payment card for any purchases made inside the venue. The only exception is for the matchday programme, Valley Review, which accepts cash and includes exclusive interviews and content related to the first team.
Travel arrangements should be organized in advance. For those driving, the postcode SE7 8BL will be useful, though it’s essential to note that many streets around The Valley have parking restrictions and will close 45 minutes before kickoff. Paid parking options include ASDA Bugsby’s Way and the Thames Barrier Car Park, while budget-friendly spaces can be found on Thorntree Road and Maryon Road, although these are limited.
Charlton train station is conveniently located just a three-minute walk from the stadium, providing access to routes from London Bridge, London Cannon Street, London Charing Cross, Dartford, and Gillingham. Additionally, the stadium can be reached using local buses from the Woolwich Elizabeth Line and North Greenwich Jubilee Line, with about a 10-minute bus ride from North Greenwich.
Given Charlton’s location in southeast London, Wrexham fans will have a wide array of pub options to enjoy before the match. Many supporters often head into central London, particularly around the London Bridge area. For those looking closer to the ground, the Angerstein Hotel and Anchor & Hope are popular choices.
This match not only promises an exciting game but also provides fans with an opportunity to explore the vibrant atmosphere of London while supporting their team.
