On Saturday Hereford United travel to Burton for the first fixture between the two clubs at the Brewers new ground. After another three points for the Bulls last night, a good number of supporters are expected to travel to watch the game.
The Pirelli Stadium is very close to the previous ground and so directions are similiar. (Much of the following information comes from the official Burton Albion website)
Travel by coach with HUISA: Please contact Hereford United for details on 01432276666. (Update: Official Site says second bus expected to travel- Cost £12- Depart Edgar Street 11.30am)
Travel by car from the Hereford area:
Join the M5 close to Worcester and then travel north and join the M42. Leave the M42 at its last exit Junction 11 (Just past Tamworth) and go onto the A444 signposted Burton. Stay on the A444 all the way to Burton, going through Overseal and Castle Gresley on the way.
On entering Burton, go past the Black Horse and Copper Hearth pubs, straight across the mini-roundabout and you will come to a roundabout with St Peters Bridge in front of you. Turn right at the roundabout into Stapenhill Road A444, which runs parallel to the River Trent, and then turn left at the traffic lights onto the Trent Bridge. Get into the right hand lane, go straight on through both sets of lights at the end of the Bridge, into Horninglow Street, straight on again at the next lights (next to the newly built Magistrates Courts), then turn right at the traffic lights underneath the Brewery fly-over, into Hawkins Lane. Go through the industrial estate, straight across the mini-roundabout and over the Railway Bridge, once over the Railway Bridge, you will come to a roundabout. Go straight across the roundabout into Princess Way and the entrance to the ground is 300 yards on your right.
