Alexandra Stadium – Gresty Road

If you have great breasties then you have Grestys, like my besty. Expensive, too.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — I came here when I was young and lived just down the road. Then another time I did something bad. I was a teenager and I lied to my parents sometimes. I got off the traine from MCR to Oxford (which stopped here), and went to see a Crewe game. I hadn’t seen them play live before and I had a really good time. The visitors were one of the Yorkshire teams… Bradford.
I remember being impressed by one section of the fans, but I preferred my home stadium of Oxford. Then I got back on the train without paying an extra fare (things were simple in those days) and completed my journey. I told Mum that the train had been delayed. No problems.
I have been back to this spot since then, in 2011 as part of my tour, but I haven’t seen another game there since. I’m hoping to do so in future.
I’ve been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from first-​hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I’ll post later. Also, when back in UK I’ll take more pix, and add more stadia!

This is a tiny little stadium for the cute little Crewe team who consistently punch above their weight. It holds 10k, and sometimes international games are played here such as Northern Ireland v Qatar upcoming.
It’s right in town and it’s a decent stadium, but nothing particularly special and too small for a stadium so high up in the league. I like that it’s right in the middle of town though. That’s always fun.
