Depends what you want really I would stay over looking the pitch be a great view!!
Could always go in the casino if wanted a drink also have Indian I think don't know what it's like for food however ..always taxis outside the casino/hotel if wanted to go in to the town for food and drink though

Pitchside rooms are good value but not always available on or before matchdays. Nice little restaurant in the casino plus other entertainment, so everything onsite.

Thanks,I will possibly look into pitch side room then and also become a member of the casino cheers.The main reason really is just to have a full day there to enjoy rather than jumping back in the car for a 3hr journey home.

You can do a streak across the pitch at 2am, great fun.. There are a couple of new restaurants next to the ricoh now

The outside rooms are more opulent, but the pitchside rooms are great as a football fan. Also turn into boxes if required so god knows how early checkout would be if you stayed the night before a match.

I noticed you cannot check in a pitch side room till 8pm,not sure what time the outside rooms are though? Also do you have to pay to go in the cabaret bar inside the casino? Maybe I might have to make a phone call.

Definitely don't have to pay to go into any parts of the casino. No idea of check in and out times as I used to work at the Ricoh match days and have never stayed over.

Seeing as this games at night you wont get in till at least 11pm, not worth it stay in my opinion, stay somewhere else

I've stayed in an outside room for midweek games few times and whilst waking up and looking at the pitch would have been excellent as a Sky Blues fan, the late check in for me was too late at 10:30-11pm.

I quite liked the room which was one of the ones with a washing machine and fridge and the bath in the room. Watching Sky Sports whilst soaking in the bath was a perfect appetiser to the game later on.

I'm looking to go to the Crawley game in Oct.
