Directions & Parking:

Approx 154 miles - 2hrs 45mins

M1 north to J32, M18 to J2, then join A1 northbound .....

Leave the A1 at J49, and head right on to A168. Follow through to Thirsk area where the road becomes the A19. Continue along A19 until you get to the roundabout with A66. Turn right towards Middlesbrough and follow A66 (Marsh Road). Go straight over the 3 roundabouts, and at the 4th turn left on to Stephenson Way. The ground is at the top of Stephenson Way, just the other side of the rail crossings. (If you have a bit of time on your hands and would like to take in another ground on your travels, you could continue on the A1 to J57, and join the A66 at Darlington. Their ground is directly to the side of the A66 as you make your way towards Middlesbrough)

Parking is extremely limited at the ground, however there are some parking facilities on wasteland around the stadium. You will pass these on the approach to the ground.

Trains:

It is not possible to return to Leicester after the game. Please reply to this thread if you are planning on travelling by train and staying over for the match. I will try and find the cheapest possible singles.

Pubs:

Doctor Browns is the suggested pub on the Grounds Guide website. The pub is situated approx 10 mins from the ground, at the bottom of Corporation Road in the city centre.

It sounds like he's just asked for a Leicester to Middlesbrough return.

There are several ways of reducing that price by splitting the tickets down.

11.00 Middlesborough - 11.55 York (£6.50 NXEC site only single)

This is the Advance Single fare and is available on all train company websites or from stations at this price.

If HF's brother is over 55 (he might be!), First Trans Pennine have a Club 55 fare for this journey. York to Middlesbrough for £10 return with this offer.

Same fare also applies from Leeds, so it might be worth having another look at Leicester to Leeds fares to see if there is a cheaper total available for the whole journey.
