YorkshireBlue's Guide to Huddersfield by yorkshireblue 26 Sep 2023 15:49
I used to live in Huddersfield – and made the journey back to Ipswich regularly as I had a season ticket at the time – so thought I could give a few pointers.

- If you SatNav is anything like mine, it’ll give you choice of the A1 or M1 – take the A1 option
- With the train strikes on, I’m guessing most people will be driving – in which case I’d recommend the Gas Works for parking. Whist the club is now closed (which is a shame as it was great for a pre-match beer) it looks as if it has been taken over by the club and you need to book to park there - https://www.eticketing.co.uk/huddersfieldtown/EDP/Event/Index/3055?position=6. Like many stadiums there are businesses which offer parking in their car parks along St Andrews Road which are normally cash on the day. I believe the Turnbridge Working Men’s Club also allows parking.
- If you are getting the train, then allow 20/25 mins to walk to the stadium. The Head of Steam at the station is a great pub;
- Away fans are welcome in The Yorkshire Rose (which will be rammed unless there early) and the Boy and Barrell. The Rope Walk, which is the closest pub to the ground is a designated home pub – but even if you’re not wearing colours I wouldn’t bother. It’s rubbish at the best of times and I imagine the queues at the bar will be heaving. Some of the other pubs will not be welcoming to away fans and are best avoided… general rule of thumb - avoid any that are advertising strippers on a midweek lunch time.
- Anyone staying longer, The Magic Rock Tap, The Parish, The Grove and Rat & Ratchet are nice places for a drink. Anyone wanting breakfast then https://www.yummyyorkshire.co.uk/ (which is a fair way out of town) is a good option.
- Depending which direction you come from https://www.marstonschickenshop.co.uk/ is well worth a pre-match visit (or the detour)…
- Whatever you do – don’t ask someone if they call it a roll/bap/barm/teacake as they have VERY strong opinions on this and you’ll be stuck there for hours

If anyone has any specific question fire away and I’ll try and help but it’s been several years since I went back.
