SCARBOROUGH

Nickname: The Seadogs

Address: The McCain Stadium, Seamer Road, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, YO12 4HF

Getting There: By Car - The Stadium is located on the main A64 York to Scarborough road about a mile and a half outside of the town.

No parking at the ground itself, but there is plenty of street parking nearby. Also there is a retail park opposite which also has parking but a charge is payable on entrance.

By Train: Scarborough station is about a mile from the ground.

The Stadium: The 'Theatre Of Chips' is a good place to visit for away fans. Not only is there the comfort of the all seated Edghill Road Stand which offers good views, but you don't have to pay the premium prices that clubs like Stevenage charge you for the privilege. The ground is a mixture of old and new, with a similar stand facing the away supporters behind the opposite goal, and the old main stand running along one side and part covered terracing on the other.

Admission Prices: Adults - £10 Concessions - £5 Children - £2

Pub & Grub: The bar at the ground is for home supporters only, but there is a pub within walking distance which you will have passed if travelling North via York.

There are also plenty of pubs towards the town centre, the most recommended appears to be the Tap and Spile at the junction of Seamer Road and Falsgrave Road.

There is a small tea bar at the rear of the away stand, however on my last visit it did not appear that food standards had reached this part of Britain. The biggest surprise was that in a stadium named after a chip manufacturer, there were no chips on sale!

You will pass a fish and chip shop as you make your way around to the away entrance from Seamer Road. Probably your best bet.
