Car Parking:  There is a large Car Park adjacent to the Stadium which costs £4.00 for cars to use and there is also some street parking available close to the Stadium.

Where to Eat:  As well as the usual food outlets inside the Stadium, there is also usually a Burger/Snack Van situated in the Main Car Park close to the Away Turnstiles.  In the town centre, which is a short walk from the Stadium, there is a KFC Restaurant and several food-serving pubs including the New Inn.

Where to Drink:  The Vine, which is situated on Hamil Road close to the Stadium is suggested as a good Pub for Away supporters.  A number of Pubs can also be found in the town centre which is a short walk from the Stadium.
