By Car

The ground is easily accessed from the M60 motorway (from Swinton join the M60 at Worsley roundabout). Leave the M60 at the Stretford and Sale exit, signposted A56 Sale and Altrincham. Turn right onto the A56, and after 1.5 miles turn left onto A6144 Marsland Road. Continue in a straight line until you see Brooklands tram station, and Heywood Road is another 500 yards further on to the right. However, please do not proceed down Heywood Road itself without a car park pass.

Parking spaces at Heywood Road are reserved for disabled supporters and staff only. Therefore, supporters are asked to park in the roads around the ground, spaces are limited and are expected to fill early.

By Public Transport

If travelling by public transport, the ground is best approached by Metrolink on the Manchester to Altrincham line. Exit the tram at Brooklands and turn left along Marsland Road. Heywood Road is 500 yards up on the right hand side.

To access the Metrolink system from Swinton, we suggest a no.22 bus to Eccles (change trams at Cornbrook), or take a bus into Manchester. Brooklands is the 6th stop after Cornbrook.

Swinton Lions are looking forward to seeing both sets of fans at Heywood Road for the historic cup tie against Wigan Warriors.
