By car: Supporters traveling from the Potteries can either join the M1 by traveling down the A50 and joining it that way. Or, alternatively fans can use the M6. Those who prefer the M6 need to travel on it until they can join the M62 (signposted Leeds, Bolton, Manchester North) and continue until Junction 12 to join the M60 (signposted Leeds, Huddersfield, Rochdale).
Remain on the M62 until Junction 29 to join the M1 signposted (M1, The North, M1, London, Wakefield) and continue onto the A1 and A1(M). At Junction 65 continue onto the A1 (signposted Newcastle, Gateshead) where the Angel of the North can be seen.
