By rail:
From Railway Station (Shrewsbury): There used to be a short cut from the back of the station, along the railway bridge and down into the ground. However, this has been shut for safety reasons. It is still used, under police supervision, when large crowds are expected travelling by rail. Otherwise, fans have to walk through tpwn. Come out of station to main road, turn left up hill towards Piccolino Pizzas, passing Beacon Radio on LHS. Follow the main road round, turning left at the cross (opposite Burger King) into St Mary's Street and then Dogpole, the main shopping streets. Turn left again at the T-junction (opposite The Lion), down the hill past a large touristy shop. Carry on down towards Lion and Pheasant Hotel, and over bridge. Turn left to ground just before road passes under railway bridge.
