And what's the best way to get to Pindar Leisure Centre, Moor Lane, Eastfield....? Here's how:
BY CAR
If you're lucky enough to have SatNav in your vehicle, just type in YO11 3LU and that should get you there! Well, fairly close at least! Be aware that you want Moor Lane and not Pindar Road which has the same postcode.
No SatNav? Then follow the instructions below....
FROM THE DIRECTION OF YORK (A64) or FROM DRIFFIELD (B1249) WHICH JOINS THE A64 AT STAXTON Head towards Scarborough on the A64 and after you've passed the turn-off for Seamer B1261 (stay on A64 at this roundabout) you'll go over a railway bridge and approach a roundabout where Morrisons and the Skipton Building Society are situated. Turn RIGHT at this roundabout (signposted Eastfield and Cayton) and at the traffic lights turn LEFT (Dunslow Road). The road rises towards traffic lights where you turn RIGHT onto Cayton Low Road (signposted Cayton, Filey). Stay on this road for one mile (past a number of factories on your right) until you see a sign to Pindar Leisure Centre where you turn LEFT into Moor Lane. If you reach McCains factory or Cayton village, you've come too far!
FROM THE NORTH (WHITBY)
As you enter Scarborough, look for signs showing you the route to York (A64) and leave Scarborough along Seamer Road - past the old McCain Stadium on your right. (If you've ended up in the town centre, you can also reach us via the A165 to Filey and Bridlington - see instructions "From Scarborough Town Centre".)
You exit Scarborough past Dean's Garden Centre and come to a big roundabout where you take the FIRST exit signposted Eastfield. Follow this road (take care of two sharp bends) and at the next roundabout turn RIGHT, up the hill. This road ends in a strange roundabout (give way to traffic from both directions!) where you turn LEFT onto Cayton Low Road towards Cayton. Follow the remaining instructions from the paragraph above, looking out for the sign which says "Pindar Leisure Centre"
FROM THE WEST (PICKERING) via A170
Proceed through Snainton, Brompton etc until you enter West Ayton. Stay on the A170 over the bridge, past the filling station on your right and the "Denison Arms" on your left, and at the roundabout GO STRAIGHT AHEAD towards Irton and Seamer. In Seamer, turn LEFT at the roundabout. In Crossgates, go straight ahead at the roundabout and through the traffic lights. You will pass a number of factories on your right, and when the road dips you will see a sign pointing LEFT to Pindar Leisure Centre.
FROM SCARBOROUGH TOWN CENTRE
Follow the A165 (signposted Bridlington) across Valley Bridge and up through South Cliff, going past Scarborough College and University of Hull. At the roundabout, go straight ahead following the direction of Bridlington. At the next roundabout (the one with totally unnecessary traffic lights!), turn RIGHT signposted Eastfield. At the traffic lights, go STRAIGHT AHEAD towards Eastfield, and at the roundabout turn left. This is Moor Lane.
FROM FILEY AND BRIDLINGTON (coastal road A165) Head towards Scarborough until you come to a roundabout at Lebberstonwhere there is a filling station and a pub called The Plough - turn LEFT here, signposted Cayton B1261. Proceed through the village of Cayton. Shortly after exiting the village, you will see McCains factory on your right but keep going until the NEXT road on your right which is Moor Lane.
BY BUS
Get a bus from the town centre to Eastfield. A number 7 bus leaves every 15 minutes from the top of town (Westborough) at 04, 19, 34 and 49 minutes past each hour. If you manage to just miss one, you can either wait for the next one or you can get a number 17 bus three minutes later which also goes to Eastfield but via a different route. Whichever bus you take, you need to get off the bus near the roundabout which separates Eastway from Westway, near High Street, Eastfield. Walk 50 yards down Moor Lane from the roundabout.
BY TAXI
OK if you're sharing, but a bit pricey if you're on your own. Could be as much as a tenner to get there, from the town centre.
We recommend Nippy Taxis, on 01723 377377 or 01723 370888.

BY TRAIN (and maybe a while on foot)
If you're arriving in Scarborough by train, you may prefer to go into the town centre first to go on the beach, see the castle, eat fish and chips, have a waffle or an ice cream - and then follow the directions above. BUT ... if you're going straight to the match, you should alight at SEAMER STATION which is the last stop before Scarborough. You can walk from here to the ground in around twenty minutes. The bridge which goes over the railway line at Seamer station carries Cayton Low Road - just follow this road in the correct direction, i.e. if your train is heading towards Scarborough and you get off at Seamer, you need to go RIGHT (towards the pedestrian lights and the traffic lights, NOT towards the roundabout). Just carry on along Cayton Low Road, past the Eastfield pub, past a number of industrial estates on the right, past Braeburn School playing fields on your left and straight ahead you may see smoke billowing from the chimneys of the McCains factory... you may even be able to smell the chips!). When you see the road sign pointing left towards Pindar Leisure Centre - there you are. There are some local shops also signposted - supermarket, takeaway, etc. - if you need them.
