AWAY GROUND INFORMATION (courtesy of the Football Ground Guide - visit here - you can buy great books of the ground guide)
Plymouth

• Directions: Plymouth railway station is about one and a half miles away, so either grab a cab (£3) or embark on the 25 minute walk. As you come out of the station turn right and down the hill and under the railway bridge. Just keep walking straight along this road and you will soon see the floodlights of the ground in the distance.
• Visit http://www.footballgroundguide.co.uk/ for more info on the stadium parking etc
   

Ipswich Portman Road

Directions

Follow the A14 around Ipswich, until you see the turning for Ipswich (A137). Stay on this road and you will eventually see the ground on your left. Bill Leggate adds 'there is extremely limited on-street car parking around the ground. There are however three car parks in Portman Road with a total of about 800 spaces. Two are pay and display and one is pay on admission. Early arrival is recommended to ensure a space close to the ground. There also several town centre car parks within 10 minutes walk all of which are well sign posted'.

Pubs

After being closed for sometime, the main away supporters pub the 'Drum & Monkey' has now re-opened, which is good news. Otherwise there is the Station Hotel, which is located just outside the railway station and has been a traditional meeting place for away fans. Stephen a visiting Leeds United fan adds; ' on my visit away fans were invited to use the Zest nightclub before kick off. It is located is down the road from where the away coaches are parked, just before the fire station. There were doormen there and they were admitting away fans'. Other pubs in the area such as the Victoria, the Hare & Hounds and the Swan, are very much home pubs and are best avoided by away fans.

By Train

The ground is only a quarter of a mile away from Ipswich train station. You will see the ground as you come into the station. Ipswich is served by trains from London Liverpool Street and Peterborough.

Car Parking in Wolverhampton

There are many car parks in Wolverhampton, although few offer a “quick get away”. The streets nearest to Molineux prohibit parking except with a resident’s permit, and the traffic wardens have a field day most match days. Nearest street parking is therefore about 10 minutes away, to the West of West Park.
