At one end is the David Longhurst Stand, which is a fair sized covered terrace, which has a row of supporting pillars across its front. Opposite is the open terraced Grosvenor Road End, reserved for away supporters. The Main Stand on one side of the ground is the tallest stand at the ground and is a covered all seated affair. This Stand is about two thirds of the size of the pitch in length, with open corners to either side (one of which houses the supporters club). To the rear it has windshields to either side. Again this stand has a number of supporting pillars, as does the all seated Popular Stand opposite. This is a simple affair, being small and covered. On its roof is a television gantry that looks to have been put together with scaffolding. The ground is completed with a set four modern looking floodlight pylons.
There is a supporters club on the corner of the ground by the entrance to the away end. Otherwise the nearest pub is the Burton Stone Inn which you should see on the A19 as you drive up to the ground.
About a ten minute walk along the A19 (going away from the city centre), you will see the 'Old Grey Mare' pub on your left. Opposite is a sandwich shop that also on matchday does a brisk trade in hot pies.
Take the A64 to Scarborough and York. When you near York, join the A1237 Ring Road and continue on it until you reach the junction with the A19. Turn right at the junction and take the A19 towards York City Centre and keep going until you get to a pub on your left called the Burton Stone Inn, at which point you turn left into Burton Stone Lane. Then take the first right into Grosvenor Road for the ground.
York Station is located just over a mile away from the ground. The station is on the East Coast mainline and is served by trains from London Kings Cross.

"York City is a typical aging ex league ground which needs a large amount of work to bring it up to new standards. Although a very friendly place, it's a devil to get to with off street parking restricted. The best way is to come off the A64 on the Hull/Bridlington Road and then follow the inner ring road round and park at the shambles multi storey car park. You can then walk straight through the city centre past the cathedral and up to the ground. Alternatively you can use the various park and rides around the city, the best one being on the McArthur Glen shopping complex.
Facilities for away supporters are dire, and probably not that good for home supporters either! An open terrace, horrific toilets and poor refreshment facilities. Only go there if you must!"
