How to get there:
Leave the M1 at Junction 38 and take the A637 towards and then the A642 into Huddersfield. As you approach the town centre try to keep to the right hand lane as you will turn right at the island and go onto the A62 Leeds Road. The stadium is a short distance down this road on the right. The stadium is generally well signposted around Huddersfield town centre.

Car Park:
There is a fair sized car park located at the ground (£5) and a number of unofficial car parks nearby (expect to pay around £3-£4).

Travelling by train:
The ground is walkable from Huddersfield train station, albeit a long one (15-20mins). After coming out of the Railway Station, turn down past the front of The George Hotel. Go straight over the crossroads into Northumberland Street and walk down across the ring road straight into Leeds Road. Turn right down Gasworks Street and straight over to the ground.

Where to drink:
The ground is walkable from the town centre, (20 minutes). The Gas Club on Gasworks Street allows all fans and families and has beers and food available. You can also park in the patrolled club car park at a cost of £2. The club is easy to find as it is right by the large gas holder'. Otherwise alcohol is served in the away end.
It is probably best to drink within the ground itself, as there are open bars at the back of the away end.

What the ground is like:
This stadium was opened with three sides in 1995, the last stand being added a season later. The club previously played just down the road at the Leeds Road ground, now the site of a B & Q Superstore. Most new stadiums in this country are rather boring affairs with little character, but the Galpharm does not fall into this category. Each stand is semi circular rather than rectangular, and is further enhanced with large white steel tubing above the contours. The ground has won many design awards and is well worth a visit. The only disappointment is that the corners of the ground are open. The Panasonic North Stand at one end and the Riverside Stand at one side are both two tiered stands, each with a row of executive boxes running across the middle. The other two sides of the ground are large single tiered affairs. There is an electric scoreboard at the back of the away end.

What's it like for visiting fans:
Away fans are located at one end of the ground in the Pink Link (South) Stand, where up to 4,000 supporters can be accommodated. The facilities in this stand and the view of the playing action are both good. There is also a Ladbrokes outlet and a bar serving alcoholic drinks at the back of the stand, which if you can't bear to watch your team during the game, you can always escape to, as the bar remains open during the first half and half time.
