Hull City
Directions
The stadium is fairly close to
the old Boothferry Park ground, but slightly nearer to the town centre,
which is 3/4's of a mile away. If
you used to approach the old ground down Anlaby Road, pass the ground on
your right, go under the railway bridge, and at the second set of traffic
lights, turn left into Walton Street and you're there.
From The West:
Leave the M62 at Junction 38 and join the A63, towards
Hull. Stay on the A63 and the stadium is clearly signposted (KC Stadium) as
you approach Hull. About one mile from the centre of Hull leave the
A63 (also signposted for the Hull Royal Infirmary) and take the 2nd exit
at the roundabout. Turn left at the lights and then over the flyover,
right at the next lights and the ground is down on the right.
From The North:
Leave
the A164 at the Humber Bridge Roundabout and take the first exit into
Boothferry Road.
The stadium is 3 miles down
this road on the left.
Car Parking - Jo Johnson informs me; 'the
stadium has its own massive car park right next to the stadium, with access
from Walton Street. It is floodlit, with a covered surface (that is, not a
mud bath) and open to home and away supporters alike. If you get there early
and want to go into the City centre, there is a park and ride bus to and
from the car park. The cost of parking for the game is £3.
It's easier to park at Hull than at any ground I know of - but there is one
drawback, namely, getting away again at the end of the game. It can take up
to half an hour if you park a long way from the exits. Also, visitors need
to be aware that there are two exits onto Walton Street after a game, the
one to the right as you face Walton Street allows right turns only, and the
one to the left allows left turns only. Visitors will want the left one to
get straight back onto Anlaby Road'.
Alternatively there is a Park & Ride facility signposted off
the A63 (shared with home supporters). Many fans opt
to park in one of the many town centre car parks and then walk out to the
stadium. Chris Bax adds; 'It is perhaps easiest is to park at the
Infirmary (clearly signposted from the A63) where parking is only £2
for 4 hours (£3 for 8). It's a 10-15 minute walk to the ground
from there'.
Whilst Robert Walker adds; 'The most convenient car park in the city
centre is the Pryme Street multi-storey car park, which
is open to 7pm.
Leave the A63 at the Myton Street exit and head North towards the city
centre. You will pass Paragon Station railway station on your left. At
the next traffic lights turn right into Spencer Street and then immediately left into Prospect Street and follow road round to the right into Pryme Street. Car park entrance is on right. There is also an NCP car park at the end of Pryme Street and Council surface car parks off Freetown Way. To walk to Stadium cross over Ferensway and walk along Spring Bank. Turn left onto Derringham Street by Polar Bear pub and then right onto walkway to
the stadium'.
Please not that residential areas near to the stadium have been made
residents only parking zones, so don't park there as you may well end up
with a parking fine.
Pubs
There are a number of pubs
within a few minutes walk of the stadium, but these are all designated as
being for home supporters only. Most local fans still seem to be
heading for pubs situated around Boothferry Park. These are best avoided
by away fans particularly the Silver Cod pub. Alcohol is served within the
ground (lager £2.30 a pint, bitter £2.20), otherwise you can head for the nearby
City Centre, where there are
plenty of pubs to be found.
Robert Walker adds; 'If you are walking to the stadium from the City Centre
there are several pubs on Spring Bank, including the Editorial and the Tap and
Spile. Or there is the Admiral of the Humber (a Wetherspoons outley) on Anlaby
Road near Hull Paragon Railway Station'. Whilst Keith Brown informs me, 'behind
the Paragon railway station is another pub called the Yorkshireman, which was
okay'.
By Train
The Stadium is 15 minutes walk from Hull Paragon station.
Visiting fans should leave the train station on the South side and turn
right onto Anlaby Road. The stadium is about 15
minutes walk away straight along Anlaby Road. Thanks to Robert Walker for providing the train information.
