If you want to use the buses turn right from the station into Station Road, at the bottom, turn right into Leek Road. Then go straight across the A500 dual carriageway and into Glebe Street. You should then see the line of buses that will take you to the stadium.
It takes less than 22 minutes to walk to the stadium from the station, Turn right from the station and head down Station Road. At the lights, turn right along Leek Road, under the railway line and then left down on to the tow path of the Canal. Follow the tow path all the way until you are level with the stadium, turn right then take the footbridge over the canal and then the railway line, straight into the ground near the South Stand. Evening games take a torch or use the route below.
