Where to Drink

Doctor Browns, which is a ten minute walk away from the ground at the bottom of Corporation Road, in the city centre is recommended. This pub serves real ale, has SKY TV and a good mix of home and away fans. On the corner opposite the pub, is also a sandwich bar. To find this pub; if you were standing outside the stadium with the main entrance behind you, head over to your left and turn right down the road, going under a bridge. A little way down this road on your left, there is an underpass (there are usually some programme & fanzine sellers standing by its entrance).

Go down through the underpass and as you emerge on the other side turn right and go down the road and through another underpass. You will emerge in a small retail park (there is a McDonalds over on your right), which you walk through unto you come to a main road. Turn right along this road and you will see the Doctor Browns pub over on your left.

By Train

The ground is walkable from Middlesbrough train station, which is on Albert Road. This station is not on a main line and is served by trains from Darlington.
If you come out of the main entrance, turn left onto Zetland Road. Then left again into Albert Road and proceed under the railway bridge. Turn immediately right into Bridge Street East, going past the Bridge pub (not recommended for away fans) and then take the next right into Wynward Way. The stadium is down this road. If you come out of the rear station entrance, turn right onto Bridge Street East. Go straight past the Bridge pub and then take the next right into Wynward Way for the ground.

Trains take approx 4 hours but you will not be able to return the same day.
