BY CAR
From the north: From M1, exit at Jct 23A and join A50 towards Derby. Continue until you reach the junction with A38 and take A38 Southbound at the Toyota Factory (signposted Burton and Lichfield). Continue on this road until the exit for the A5121 Burton North. Continue past the Pirelli factory and at the roundabout. The ground is on your right.
From the south: From M5/M6 South - Join M42 Northbound and exit onto A446 signposted Lichfield. Follow signs for A38 Burton and then directions as above.
From the west: From M6 North: Exit M6 at Jct 15 and follow A50 towards Stoke and Uttoxeter. Exit A50 for A38 Southbound signposted Burton, then as above.
General: Parking for 200 cars at ground. Car park is usually full 30 minutes before kick off. Alternative car parks are at Pirelli sport and social club or in the Ryknild Trading estate. Plenty of street parking also around ground.
Burton Railway Station is served by both Virgin Trains and by Central Trains with regular services running from Nottingham and Derby down to Birmingham, via Burton on Trent, but trains from Newcastle in the north right down to Weston Super Mare in the south also serve the station.
The train station is around half a mile to the west of the town centre and around 1½ miles from the ground, which means a walk of around 25 – 30 minutes across town. On the positive side however, it is a fairly straight forward route on leaving the station where you turn left and roll down the hill, taking a left onto Derby Street and carry on all the way along, past the junction on the left with the A511 until the roundabout with the junction with Princess Way.
