For spectators unfamiliar with the Hebburn Sports Ground, here are some details on how to get to the facility, turnstile operations, details on parking and when inside facilities, and what is available.
Spectator Travel: We highly recommend spectators travel by public transport where possible as parking around the ground is very limited.
Metro: The closest Metro Station is Hebburn Metro (1 mile away) and a 15 min walk, spectators should walk along Station Road, turn right at the traffic lights into Victoria Road and continue up the road for approximately 0.5mile until arrive at Hebburn Sports Ground.
Alternatively, spectators can depart from Pelaw Metro (1.4 mile away) and a 30minute walk. Upon exiting Pelaw metro station turn right onto the A185, continue to walk down this road until it merges with Victoria Road West, further down the road you’ll see Hebburn Sports Ground.
Bus: If you get on the No.27 bus, it will drop you outside the Fire Station which is a 10-15 minute walk from the ground.

There is limited parking along North and South Drive and Victoria Road. We ask spectators to be mindful we have residential neighbours and to park responsibly. Parking enforcement officers are in attendance on match days.
