Is it possible to walk behind the new Tescos to get to the north stand, or do you have to walk all the way round the front of the shop? I'm thinking from the new foot bridge.

I think you can walk all round the perimeter of the stadium , there are no walls or barriers that i have ever seen to stop you

I don't think you can get to the stadium alongside the left hand side of the Tesco building (as you look at it from the front. However the ramp from the footbridge seems to go a fair way across the front of the store.

the shortest route is round the side of Tesco there is no footpath but you can get round, you might break a leg but you can get round, a path with a gate wouldn't cost much.

Well, everything seems to be falling into place now. The bridge is being installed over the next couple of days. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like in real life!

Hi Doghead.
I've seen that bit of path there down the side of Tesco. I was wondering if they'll leave that open after the the whole new development is open.

I suppose it doesn't make that much difference really. going over the foot bridge then walking all the way round Tescos is no big deal really. I was just wondering (and wandering too .

quite a bit of land at the back there Donkey, and with road access, cant see it remaining undeveloped for long.

Is the bridge that is being put within the next couple of days the one which will enable a decent walk to the train station?
Was told it will be 5-10 mins walk to St H Central, is this true?
