Scunthorpe United
Directions
The ground is on the
outskirts of Scunthorpe, which makes it very easy to find from the
motorway. Leave the M180 at Junction 3 and take the M181 for Scunthorpe.
At the end of this motorway, you will see the ground on your right. Turn
right at the first roundabout onto the A18 and right again into the large
car park at the ground, which costs £3.
Pubs
There is one pub right at
the entrance to the ground called 'The Old Farmhouse', which as Bryan
Woods informs me 'This pub welcomes all fans but no colours are allowed'.
There is another pub near the ground called the Berkeley, a favourite
haunt for away supporters. To find this Sam Smiths pub go past the ground
(or park there first) and follow the main road towards Scunthorpe and it
is on the left hand corner of the first roundabout you reach.
If
coming by train, then the Honest Lawyer on Oswald Road is
well worth a visit. Although a modern pub inside, it has been listed in
the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and has a number of beers on offer. Also on
Oswald Road is the Blue Bell which is a
Wetherspoons outlet.
By Train
Scunthorpe station is over two
miles away from the ground. A taxi is probably the easiest way to
reach the stadium. However, if you have time on your hands and are feeling
fit..... Turn left out of the station and head towards the crossroads
(facing a church) and turn right into Oswald Road, going past a set of
traffic lights and the Honest Lawyer and Blue Bell pubs. At the next
traffic lights turn left into Doncaster Road (where there a number of fast
food outlets). Then just go straight down this road and you will
eventually reach Glanford Park on your left. Otherwise as you pass the
Blue Bell pub on your left, turn left onto Doncaster Road where you can
catch Bus Number 909 (every 20 minutes to the hour, does not run on
Sundays) down to the ground. |
