bet365 Stadium away guide
The away allocation sits in the Franklyn Stand (South Stand), Lower Tier, behind the goal. The block runs across the lower deck. Stoke typically offer around 2,500 to 3,000 away seats for league fixtures. Away turnstiles are off Stanley Matthews Way, signposted from the matchday bus stop and on the long walk in from town.
Bags larger than A4 (210mm × 297mm) aren't permitted and there's no bag storage at the ground. All bags are searched on entry.
Checked 30 May 2026 against Stoke City ground regulations.
Stoke-on-Trent station is a 25-minute walk along the A500 underpass route. Matchday shuttle buses run from the station, which is the smarter shout, the walk along the dual carriageway is uninspiring. Direct trains from London Euston, Manchester and Birmingham. Driving in off the M6 J15 is easy with plenty of on-site parking.
