DIRECTIONS:
By Road:
Follow A24 past the Black Horse pub on your left and keep driving past the Q8 petrol station which will also be on your left. At the round-about, take the 2nd exit into Offington Lane. Remember that this is a 30mph road (as this is a favourite place for the Sussex Police's cameras!) and drive straight (south). Continue to go straight on through the Thomas a' Beckett traffic lights (you'll see the pub on the left corner). Follow the road round and go straight on at the first mini-roundabout. About 100 meters along you'll see another mini-roundabout, take a left here into St. Lawrence Avenue.
Continue going down this road. There's another mini-roundabout which you should go straight across. 150 meters along there's another mini-roundabout! This time take a right down Nutbourne Road and continue going straight (negotiating the s-bend!) to the next junction. You'll be able to see the stadium & floodlights now. Take a left down Bulkington Road. Woodside Road will be on your right in about 250 meters time although now would be a good time to park your car as Woodside Road itself gets very busy on match days.
Parking:
Being a residential area, parking is tight. On match days, driving/parking down Woodside Road is a major no-no. Try the roads situated around the ground: Bulkington Avenue, Nutbourne Road, Shermanbury Road, Gaisford Road, Woodmancote Road and at a push Henty Road.
By Rail:
Half a mile from Worthing (BR) Central station. When you come out of the station, take an immediate right and walk parallel to the train-line down Cross Street. About 100 meters down the road, you will see a train crossing. Turn right here into South Farm Road. Take the next left down Pavillion Road and walk along here for about 400 meters where you should start to be able to see the floodlights. You will see Woodside Road on the right and the ground is about another 200 meters on the left.
