Away fans are housed in the North-East corner of the stadium, which allows just over 3,000 fans. It's another one of the new build stadiums so the view is decent and the concourse is spacious for your half-time pint. The policing can sometimes be heavy handed, if you arrive in a big group you can expect to be escorted the rather lengthy walk to the Walkers Stadium.
The ground is walkable from the City Centre and there are plenty of pubs around to drink in. Beer is served inside the ground but if your team has a reputation, don't be surprised to see it mysteriously "selling out" at half-time or even before the game.

The Hind - 49 London Road, Leicester, LE2 0PD Tel: 0116 255 0936
If you are coming in on train then you may find yourself in this pub whether you like it or not. This pub is located opposite the train station, and it has been known for high profile games that the police will congregate away support in here before escorting them to the stadium. The beer is ok and the service is good.
The Counting House - 40 Almond Road, Leicester, LE2 7LH Tel: 0116 275 5527
The Counting House is still a popular pub with away fans visiting the Walkers Stadium. It has been known to not allow away supporters in for high profile games, or even shut completely, but when it is open, it's a cracking pub that serves food and has plenty of space, as well as being only a short step to the stadium.
Public Transport
Rail: The train station in the city centre is walkable from the ground and should take you around 20-25 minutes. There is normally a heavy Police presence around the station as mentioned earlier, so if you are in a large " casual " group, then expect to be escorted into the Hind pub, and from there to the stadium.
