Pubs for away fans 

There is a bar at the ground which is situated behind the Grandstand, aptly called the Grandstand Bar. This shows Sky Sports matches and even serves its own real ale called ‘Grand Stand Gold’. Otherwise there is the ‘Thatch & Thistle’ pub, which also serves food. This is located near to the bottom of Haig Avenue, at the junction of Butts Road and Meols Cop Road. As its name suggests the pub has a thatched roof as is part of the ‘Two for one’ chain. Also coming from the M58 on the Scrisbrick New Road is the Richmond pub, which is also in walking distance of the stadium.

If you have a bit more time on your hands, then just over a mile away is Southport town centre, where there are plenty of good pubs to be found.

Directions

Leave the M6 at Junction 26 and take the M58 towards Southport. Leave the M58 at Junction 3 and take the A570 towards Ormskirk. Follow the A570 around Ormskirk Town Centre towards Southport. On entering Southport you will come to a large roundabout with Tesco’s & McDonalds outlets. Take the 3rd exit onto Scarisbrick New Road (A570). You should now be able to catch sight of the ground over on your right. Pass the Richmond pub on your left and then turn right into Haig Avenue. The ground is down on the right.

Car Parking:

There is no car park at the stadium, supporters can park on Haig Avenue and neighbouring streets
but we request that supporters are respectful of local residents and not to block driveways.

By Train

The nearest railway station to the ground is Meols Cop which is about a mile away away from the ground. It is served by trains from Manchester Piccadilly. As you come out of the station turn left and proceed down Norwood Road. After about half a mile, turn right into Haig Avenue and the stadium is located down on the left.

Supporters Coaches:
Any supporters’ coaches can drop off passengers on Haig Avenue, we will then direct the driver where
to park.

Travel
Coach travel is available with the supporters club which is leaving the New Bucks Head at 11am.

Priced at £24 on the day or £22 in advance with a £2 discount for travel club members.
