If you get the number 1 bus from town it drops you at the co-op near the Old Whiteheart although i wouldnt go in there if i were you, if you stay on the bus a 2mins longer you can go to the Whistlestop which is alright and you can have a 5 min walk to the ground.
Then there is the Peacock, it will be packed though.
you could also walk down crow nest lane from the Whistlestop and go to the Dry Salters.
