By car:
From North, South and East: Exit M6 at junction 31. At the roundabout take the first exit (s/p Preston A59) onto the A59. At mini-roundabout after 1.0 miles, by the Hesketh Arms, take the second exit (s/p Ring road, Blackpool A583, Football Ground) onto the Blackpool Road A5085. Carry straight on for 1.2 miles, then filter left before the lights (s/p Town Centre, Football Ground) into Sir Tom Finney Way. The ground is on the left-hand-side.
By rail:
It is about 1.6 miles from the station to Deepdale. If you catch a taxi from outside the station it will cost approximately £2.70. By foot you should come out of the station and turn left in front of the Fishergate Centre, passing The Railway pub.
Turn right at the T-junction. The road forks left and becomes Corporation Street which you should ignore. Instead walk straight down Fishergate - the main shopping thoroughfare - After 0.75 miles the road becomes Church Street - with the Parish church on your right-hand-side.
Carry on until you reach the junction with the A6. Cross over the road, the prison will be on your right-hand-side and a pub on the left, called the County Arms. Turn left so The 'Arms' is now on your right - this is Deepdale Road. The Ground is on the right-hand-side after 0.75 miles.
By bus:
All buses from the train station go to the bus station. From there, numbers 5, 6 and 19 run a long Deepdale Road. The number 19 is the most frequent, running every five minutes or so. It will cost approximately 70 pence to get to the ground from the bus station but have plenty of change because the bus drivers ask for the exact money.

Car Parking:
There is currently no official club parking for away supporters, however, local schools such as Moor Park High School and Deepdale Primary School offer safe parking for approximately £2. There is also plenty of parking in the surrounding streets and a car park across from the Tom Finney Stand on Moor Park which also costs. For home fans you can purchase season parking tickets at the beginning of the year, but they sell out almost immediately.
Pubs:
The Sumners is the most popular for home fans, found on the corner of Watling Street Road and Deepdale Road. It is very welcoming for both home and away fans with plenty of room inside and a beer garden, if the sun is out. It opens at 11am on matchdays. Across the road is The Garrison which is a more traditional locals pub, families are also welcomed here. On the way to the ground from the M6 you pass the Hesketh Arms, another welcoming pub. A favourite matchday venue but coaches and large parties must book in advance. A bit further away, on the A6 if you are arriving from junction 32, is The Withy Trees. An excellent pub with good beer and good food.
