Sorry for the delay. Yeah there's a Harvester right next to it and they won't mind you popping in but there's bugger all else around there. The drinks inside the ground aren't insanely priced but obviously they're more than a normal pub. Don't be tempted to cross the footbridge over the A50 to visit the pubs on the other side, they are most definitely NOT 'away friendly'.
So in all honesty, it's a pretty crap location if you want a few drinks beforehand. You're options are to try and get a couple in the Harvester (which will be packed out), bring a few cans with you or have a few in town (Newcastle-under-Lyme) and someone drive to the ground afterwards. I don't suppose that's much use to people like MsG who have to drive home afterwards
