Getting to Bootham Cresent, York.
By bus - there are sometimes shuttle buses from the train station to the ground, I've never used them but I'd imagine they'd take about 5-10mins as they go right through town.
By car - parking is hard to come by around the ground so most people park in the city center or use our extremely successful park and ride system and walk from town.
Walking - from town takes about 10mins, depending on where you set off from.

City Ground - Nottingham Easy to walk on foot from the station, 15 minutes (avoiding the Meadows which I generally do unless I'm drunk and I go the wrong way - it has happened), with a nice walk over the Trent Bridge  Fairly regular City Loop buses (one every 10-15 minutes I think) pick up at Broadmarsh Centre and Station, 5 minutes to the north bank of the Trent Car parking - most people tend to use side streets or one of the municipal car parks dotted around West Bridgford. If in the car I park at the Cattle Market outside Meadow Lane (Notts County) - very cheap, £1.50 for all day parking. Used by away supporters sometimes too, once had a Gillingham fan threaten to brick my window after we relegated them  |

I try to get a lift whenever possible but if i have to drive then so be it!  Getting to PP is pretty straightforward, its well signposted and is just outside the city centre! Parking at the ground is terrible though so most people park in the city and walk. Its just off the main A6 and A52 and is easy enough to get to though! Derby Train Station is just a 10 minute walk away, but i have no idea about buses (i dont use them, they're for the common people)  |

What he said! Hillsboro used to be served by a train service to Wadsley Bridge station and it's still a viable option from Sheffield City Centre. (And before you start Cav or Kieran it's because I used to live next to the station not because I'm a train spotter!) ........ would you like a flask of weak lemon drink and a pac-a-mac, with that blanket denial??  |

Considering I live the other side of the county from Portman Road and I can't drive, my dad usually takes me.
However, there is a train station in Ipswich, and I can go from another village across the road, and it's very easy to get from the train station to Portman Road.

Does it have to be football, if not, our ground has two train stations within walking distance (Headingley and Burley Park) it is also on two major bus routes out of Leeds (One on Otley Road, the other down Kirkstall Lane going right past the cricket part of the ground)

Well that'll be three for me... and Tom will do Stoke for you when he gets home!
ROCHDALE
Train station about 2 miles from ground (main route between Manchester Vic and Leeds/Bradford) (#4.50 (pound sign doesn't work so # means pound) from the ground in a taxi). the 468 from Rochdale TCBS is about #1.50.
ACCY
Very small train station, don't think many trains stop there. Only know one bus route but there are about three, plus a shuttle bus from Peel Street!
