Behind the Stadium is a Vue Cinema which has a bar inside and there are also two Pubs, the Park Hotel and the Rockingham Hotel within walking distance of the Stadium.

For eating, there is a McDonalds and an Asda adjacent to the Stadium as well as the usual food outlets in the town centre which is slightly further away.

Getting To the Stadium

Car Parking:  Some Street Parking is available near to the Stadium if you arrive there in good time.  Alternatively it will cost you £3.00 to park in the Club Car Park next to the Stadium. 

Another alternative is to park in the Car Parking Area which serves the Cinema and Bowling Complex behind the Stadium.  However, fans are advised that it may be best to check the legality of parking here before actually doing so.

The Easy Peasy Brown Sign Option:

The Complicated Roundabouts Option:

Leave the M18 at Junction 3 and at the top of the slip road take the left-hand (first) exit onto the A6182 (signposted Doncaster).  Go straight on at the first roundabout and at also at the second taking you past McDonalds.  At the next roundabout, go right and then straight ahead at the next two roundabouts before taking the 2^nd exit on the right at the traffic island.
