Boundary Park is one of the best-located stadiums in the UK.
Sitting just off the M62 along the A627(M) spur, the ground is also within easy reach of the M60, M6, M56, M66 and M67.
The ground is located just 20 miles from Manchester International Airport.
Directions - By Car:
FROM M62: Leave motorway at junction 20 (signposted Rochdale, Oldham). Follow A627(M) towards Oldham, and leave motorway at second junction with PC World on your left(signposted A627). The ground is clearly visible from the roundabout.
For official parking, take the first exit at the roundabout (NOT for the retail park), and you will see the Club's extensive parking facilities clearly signed on your right.
For the main entrance, take the second exit at the roundabout before turning left at the traffic lights just after the Pentagon Vauxhall dealership. Follow the road straight over the first mini-roundabout, then turn left at the next mini-roundabout.
From M60: Leave motorway at junction 21, then follow signs for Oldham and pass McDonald's on your left. Continue through several sets of traffic lights and down Broadway (40mph limit enforced by static speed cameras) before branching left up the slip road just before the start of the A627(M).
Then take the third exit at the roundabout for the official car park.
Parking is priced at £5 for cars, £10 for minibuses and £15 for coaches/buses.

Directions - By Train:
The stations on the former Oldham Loop Line are now closed, as the line is to be converted for use with an expanded Manchester Metrolink tram network, planned to open in 2012.
This leaves only Mill Hills station, but this is a 45 minutes walk to the stadium.
However, fans from the East might like to consider taking a train to Rochdale (direct services from York, Leeds, Bradford & Halifax) and then continuing to Boundary Park on bus 409 (every 10 minutes Saturday daytime, journey time 25 minutes).

Where to drink:
The Clayton Green is a modern pub/restaurant, about 200 yards from the corner of the main stand and the Chaddy End of the stadium at the bottom of Furtherwood Road.
Walking across the road (Chadderton Way) from the Clayton Green brings you to the Rifle Range pub on Burnley Lane, which is about a 10 minutes walk from the stadium. It has a family room, TV screens, food and a beer garden.
If you walk from the stadium to the top of Sheepfoot Lane and turn left at the newspaper shop, the Old Grey Mare pub is about 200 yards down Rochdale Road on the right. Continuing past it brings you to the White Hart pub.
If you turn right at the top of Sheepfoot Lane, eventually you will reach the Queens pub, at the junction of Rochdale Road and Featherstall Road. Across the road from there is the Royal pub, and next door is the Brook Tavern, a larger more modern pub.
Where to eat:
The Clayton Green (see above) and the Chadderton Park Inn, on Burnley Lane at the opposite side of the large roundabout by the A627(M) access, are pub/restaurants.
As you leave the A627(M) onto Broadway (A663), on the left is the Elk Mill Retail Park with a McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut.
