Crewe make the journey up to Boundary Park hoping to pick up a much need away win.
Boundary Park has a capacity of 13,624 of which this season they are averaging of 5.965 down 5% from last season.
The club is hoping to make the ground a 16,000 all seater stadium and renamed to the Oldham Arena.
The ground is known as the coldest in the country and is also the second highest behind the Hawthorns.
Where to Drink
Nearest pub to the ground is The Clayton Arms which is on the corner of the ground. This pub can get very busy on match days so you have been warned. Other pubs recommended are The Old Grey Mare on Rochdale Road and The White Hart.
Travel
By train
Oldham has three stations Oldham Mumps, Mill Hills and Oldham Werneth with the first two having a 45 minute walk so it is recommended that Oldham Werneth is used as it is only 15 minutes from the ground.
Trains for Oldham depart from Manchester Victoria platforms 1 or 6. If you buy a ticket to Oldham and arrive from the South at Manchester Piccadilly your fare includes travel on the Metrolink to Victoria station. As you exit the platforms at Piccadilly turn left for the Metrolink station. Take the tram for BURY only to get to Manchester Victoria.
By coach
The official coach leaves at 12 noon and costs £8 members + season ticket holders and £9 non-members.
By Car
Distance from Crewe to Oldham is 46 miles.
Leave the M62 at Junction 20 and take the A627(M) towards Oldham. Take the second slip road off the A627(M) following the signs for Royton (A663). At the top of the slip road you will find a large roundabout that around it has a McDonalds and a KFC. Turn left at the roundabout onto the A663 towards Royton (beware though of 30mph speed cameras on this stretch). You will be able to see Boundary Park over on your right. Take the next right hand turn into Hilbre Avenue which will take you up to the large Club car park, situated behind the Lookers Stand.
