Directions from Wrexham: Leave Wrexham on the A483 towards Chester picking up the A55 eastbound and then the M53. Leave the M53 at junction 11 turning right onto the M56 eastbound. Continue on the M56 towards Manchester passing the M6 interchange and at junction 3 take the left hand lanes continuing on the M56 towards Stockport. Pick up the M60 anti clockwise towards Stockport at junction 1 leaving the M60 at junction 24 turning right at the roundabout onto the M67. At the end of the M67 take the first exit onto the A57 and then pick up the A628 heading forward at the traffic lights following signs for Sheffield. Follow this road for just over 24 miles going and at the roundabout with the M1 take the second exit continuing on the A628 and then take left hand lanes immediately. At the traffic signals with the A6133 continue straight on the A628 and you will now pick up brown signs for Barnsley FC. In just under a mile take the first exit at the roundabout to join the A61 to Sheffield and then head down hill whilst moving into right hand lanes for the next set of lights. After passing through the second set of lights turn right still following signs 'A61 Sheffield'. After branching under the bridge take left hand lanes to head up the steep hill that is Bala Street and this will take you to the ground. Distance = 87 miles; Time = 2 hours. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By Train: The station is a couple of miles away and a cab will cost you around £4.00. There are bus services to the ground but it has been known for some fans to get some stick on these services. Look out for bus numbers 115, 116 and 117 and get off on Pontefract Road. It will take only 15 minutes to walk and on leaving the station turn left away from the town centre and go under the bridge that the dual carriage way goes over. Then turn left up the slip road and take the first road on the right and head towards the Metro Dome leisure complex. At the top of the hill the ground will be in sight and follow the roads and crowd towards the stadium. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
