Where is it???
By Car: Leave the A1 at Dishforth and take the A168 and then get off of that onto the A19. At the junction for the A66, follow the signs for Middlesbrough. Pass the town centre on a raised dual carriageway, following signs for Redcar, Grangetown and Teesport. Take the slip-road, signposted Riverside Stadium and keep in the left hand lane, turning left at the traffic lights. The stadium is now visible in front of you.
By Rail: Trains are, generally direct from Darlington. Once there, turn left out of the stadium onto Zetland Road and then left again onto Albert Road, going under a railway bridge. Turn right into Bridge Street East and past The Bridge, a local pub, that is definately not recmmended for away fans. Straight after the pub, take a right onto Wynward Way. Here, you will find the ground.

Trivia
The First half-time scoreboard in the country was at the Linthorpe Road Ground in 1902. A man would put the scores on the board using dots with a piece of chalk at half-time.
