Travel
Car - £22
If you're using a satnav or internet routeplanner, use the destination postcode WV1 4QR.
Petrol should be about £11 each way. It's 85 miles one way, which will take you about 90 minutes, providing the infamously slow M6 motorway doesn't back up at any stage.
It's an easy route until the last mile when you will face a glut of annoying roundabouts and inner-city traffic.
Take the M6 to Junction 13 and take the third exit onto the A449. Keep following it straight for 10 miles. You'll go over roundabouts and pass a lot of speed cameras.
When you pass Dunston Park Train Station, you're within walking distance of the ground. But if you want to get nearer, take the third exit at the next roundabout and follow the road down towards Asda, where the ground is.
Parking - free
The ground is so close to the city centre, it's just a case of grabbing whatever spot you can on a Saturday afternoon one one of the city's many car parks.
The adjoining Asda will have no problems with you parking there so long as you spend £5 or so in store and display your receipt in the window during the game.
But there are a few streets within a 10-minute walk of the ground where you can park for free.
It's best to look to the north of the ground. Try Craddock Street (WV6 0QJ) and the streets around there. There are about 50 streets to choose from between the ground and Dunstall Park Racecourse.

Public coach - £10
National Express has three coaches going from Chorlton Street Bus Station to Wolverhampton Bus Station and one coming back, but it's touch and go whether you'll make the one home.

Leave : 07:15 09:05 11:30 14:55
Arrive: 09:30 11:05 13:35 17:15
One way: £5, £13.30, £13.30 £13.30
The bus station is a 10-minute walk from the ground. From Pipe's Row, branch left onto Lichfield Street and then turn right onto Princess Square. Keep walking for five minutes and you'll see the stadium on your left.
Coming back
If the match finishes on time at about 19:20, you should be able to get there on time.
But for big games, West Midlands Police tend to stop fans in the Steve Bull lower tier (the away end) from turning right after the game, so they can't mingle with home supporters.
That could prevent you making it back to the bus station on time, so leave slightly before the end to make it.
Leave: 19:35
Arrive: 21:45
One-way price: £5
