York is a relatively straight forward place to reach by car from Stevenage, and one would basically follow the same directions as if they were driving to Scarborough. Take a trip up the A1, and then head for York on the A64.
Once you reach the city, roughly ten miles after leaving the A1, turn onto the A1237 as if heading for Harrogate. Continue along the A1237 until you reach the junction with the A19.
Turn right onto the A19 Shipton Road, and head for the city centre. When you reach the Burton Stone pub after about 2 miles, turn left and you'll soon see the ground.

There are a multitude of parking options for Bootham Crescent, as parking at the ground isn't advisable.
- Park and Ride
- Mecca Bingo (Burton Stone Lane)
- Union Terrace (off Clarence Street)
- Street parking
The park and ride is located on the A1237 ring road and clearly signposted. The bus will then be able to take you to York Railway Station, where the directions are as below. Cost is £1.80.
Mecca Bingo and Union Terrace both charge £1.50 to park in, although Union Terrace is Pay and Display so therefore free if in York on an evening. From Union Terrace, walk down Hospital Lane and over the railway.

Station: YORK
Served by: EAST COAST
Services to: STEVENAGE
From the station, it is a 15-20 walk, so therefore not too long. Firstly, turn left onto Station Road, passing the Royal York Hotel. Turn left into Leeman Road and follow the road around to the left. But before you reach the railway bridge, there will be a path running parallel to the track on your right.
Follow this over the river and continue along the path. Eventually you will pass a car park and reach an underpass. Go through, thus crossing the railway and continue to follow the path. Soon enough you will finish opposite Grovesnor Terrace.
Turn left onto the road, and then turn right up Bootham Crescent where the ground will be.
