BY TRAIN: There are some direct services to Middlesbrough station but from Kings Cross, a changeover at Darlington is likely.
STATION TO STADIUM: Take a left down Zetland Road then left again onto Albert Road. Go right twice down Bridge Street East and secondly Wynward Way. The Riverside Stadium is straight ahead.
PARKING: There is no official car park but a number of independent car parks are in the nearby area.
SEATING: The South Stand offers a decent view for the away fans. There is a wide concourse which means congestion is lowered at half time and at the final whistle.
PUBS AND RESTAURANTS: Doctor Browns is a popular pub for away supporters. The nearest pub to the ground is The Navigation but it would be advised to keep clear to avoid problems with the faithful.
There are plenty of affordable burger bars on the dockside. Recommended is the Purple Onion Restaurant which offers a variety of different food on a match day. It's situated opposite Doctor Browns but there are always fast-food restaurants in Middlesbrough itself if you need something quick and simple.
