If
going by train then the ground is about a mile from the station and is
about a 20 minute walk.If you're driving over then see the the links at the bottom for options.
According to the Football Ground Guide all the pubs around the ground are home fans only. It also says there are a couple to keep well clear of. It sounds like the city centre is the best option. As usual there's a Wetherspoons with a good range of beers near the station (map). Being so close to the station may though mean that it's not the safest place to go. Definitely safe is the Rugby Tavern (map). This is a Sam Smiths pub, which of course means the beer's very cheap. In theory they do food, but there wasn't any on when we played there in the cup in 2008/9.
