The ground is walkable from the town centre, albeit a long one! (20 minutes). Robert Smith recommends the Peacock, Rickys Bar and the Bradley Mills Working Mens Club. They are all located on Leeds Road, about five-ten minutes walk from the Stadium. There is also a cinema and entertainment complex behind the North Stand, where there is the Rope Walk pub. However on my last visit all of the above bars were not allowing in away fans, although I did manage to get into the Rope Walk Pub (I was not wearing colours), where I enjoyed an excellent pint. Dougie Hames recommends the Gas Club on Gasworks Street; 'all fans and families are welcome. Bass beers, food available and you can also park in the patrolled club car park at a cost of £2. The club is easy to find as it is right by the large gas holder'. Whilst Tim Oscroft informs me; 'The Head of Steam pub at the railway station is pretty good and serves food too'.

Otherwise it is probably best to drink within the ground itself, as there are open bars at the back of the away end. Roy Goodman adds; 'on our last visit Tetleys Or Carlsberg were available at £2.80 a pint. Alas they no longer serve Guinness.'

There is a fair sized car park located at the ground (£5) and a number of unofficial car parks nearby (expect to pay around £3-£4).

For details of disabled facilities at the ground please visit the relevant page on the National Association Of Disabled Supporters (NADS) website.

What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Away fans are located at one end of the ground in the Pink Link (South) Stand, where up to 4,000 supporters can be accommodated. The facilities in this stand and the view of the playing action are both good. There is also a Ladbrokes outlet and a bar serving alcoholic drinks at the back of the stand, which if you can't bear to watch your team during the game, you can always escape to, as the bar remains open during the first half and half time. They even serve draught Guinness, which makes for a pleasant change.

cheers , as for wearing colours hows that . its just the missus is is scared cos my ladd has never been to an away game but does not miss home games and loves to wear his shirt and the missus is scared there mite be some bother , just need to reasure her he will be fine
