Stevenage

By Road

You can take one of two options when travelling to Stevenage FC by road.

A:

It’s usually a much better idea to drivers come via the A1(M) than anything else; using Junction 7 (Stevenage south, Ware A602). The A1 connects with a number of primary routes to help supporters travelling from the north, south, east or west. Here are some of the most notable interchanges:

• A14 – the Midlands and East Anglia (also useful for M6 traffic)
• M18 – South Yorkshire
• M25 – London, the South East and South West
• M62 – West Yorkshire and the North West

The benefit of the A1(M) is that it’s mostly dual carriageway for its entire length – even when it reverts back to the A1. So, it provides a direct and fast route from a variety of directions.

B:

For confident drivers, there is an option that’ll save you around 30 minutes when travelling to Stevenage FC from the east or south-east. Instead of coming all the way around the M25 to connect with the A1(M), come off at Junction 25 for the A10. Head north for around 10 miles and leave at the junction for Ware immediately after crossing the Kingsmead Viaduct. This is signposted B1001 – plus Stevenage A602. Follow the A602 to Stevenage for around nine miles, with the ground on your left as you enter the town.

By Rail

Station: STEVENAGE
Services to: LONDON KINGS CROSS, LEEDS, PETERBOROUGH, BRIGHTON, YORK etc.

Our station is not far from the town centre and is about a mile from the ground. It’s all walkable too; taking around 15-20 minutes with signs guiding the way. Leave the station on the town centre side – not the Leisure Park. Use either the ramp or stairs to come down to ground level. Walk along the dual carriageway against oncoming traffic past the police station and down into the roundabout.

Here, turn left and head for Asda on the opposite side of the roundabout; taking you under two bridges that carry the roundabout. You’ll come out into the Asda car park. Walk across to the vehicle entrance and leave out onto the dual carriageway. Walk up here past the retail park(s) on your right. You’ll soon come to another roundabout – this is where the ground is.

Again, head in a 10 o’clock direction to get to the stadium. Away fans are around to the right.

If this all sounds like a faff, a taxi won’t cost the earth. Bus route 5 from Stop E also passes the ground.

Parking

Do: Use our dedicated and free (at the moment) car park located at Fairlands Valley Park. It is very clearly signposted for drivers coming in from the A1(M). For the absence of doubt, this car park is opposite Boro’s North Stand on the other side of the dual carriageway. So, if you do come in from the A1(M), go across two roundabouts and it’ll be on your left.

Don’t: Cross the dual carriageway on foot. There is an underpass under the nearby roundabout to let you cross. And there are also fences now up to prevent you crossing four lanes of traffic.

Do: Be considerate if you chance your arm at local street parking in the Broadwater district.

Don’t: Even think about parking at one of the retail parks adjacent to the stadium. You’ll be risking a fine if you do.
