DIRECTIONS
From North/South/West:
M6 to J15. Take the A500 to Stoke-on-Trent then the A50 to Derby/Uttoxeter (the Britannia Stadium is signposted and visible on the sky-line to the right). Once on the A50 drive past the stadium on the right to the first exit and
come back down the westbound carriageway of the A50.
East:A50 all the way to Stoke-on-Trent. Stadium to the left.
By Foot
Pedestrians can walk to the Britannia Stadium on a matchday from Stoke using existing footpaths along the bridge over the A500, which lead to the incinerator access road, to link up with the footway/cycleway
(and the bridge over the canal and railway line) to the stadium. Pedestrians can also link up with the new footway from the towpath which runs along the Trent and Mersey canal. Supporters can walk from Heron Cross (Grove Road) and Hollybush (Highfield Drive) to the stadium, along a footway/cycleway, but pedestrians coming from Heron Cross should be aware that they must cross the A50 at Heron Cross using the footbridge as a 1.8m high fence prevents crossing the road any further down.
There is NO PEDESTRIAN ACCESS along the busy A500 or A50 roads.
Finally, pedestrians can walk to the stadium along Stanley Matthews Way running up from Trentham Road (A5035).
By Rail-
Nearest railway station: Stoke-on-Trent (01782) 411411. There is a train back to Birmingham at 21.04 and at 22.37. Please check they are running before setting out.
