From
the North: (Darlington 34 miles) From
the A1, head straight over Whitemare Pool and then turn left at the roundabout
after the garage. This will take you onto Mill Lane. Here you’ll find the
Cock Crow Inn (a 15 minute walk away from the ground) and then The Mill
Tavern. To get to the ground from Mill Lane, turn right at the traffic lights
at the top, where Hebburn Fire Station is, and the stadium on the left as
you go along Victoria Road. Hebburn Sports & Social Ground is situated just
off Victoria Road, which is the main road that runs through Hebburn from
Jarrow. The postcode for the football ground is NE31 1UN. There are entrances
on South Drive and also on North Drive. These are residential roads and
both run off Victoria Road on either side of the football ground.
Parking: Very limited parking is available in the small car park
which is accessible on South Drive. It is recommended fans make use of
public parking facilities in the town, a short walk away. Spaces are available
at Hebburn Shopping Centre, just off Station Road, which you’ll pass if
you drive to the football ground via Jarrow. Station Road is a right turn
off Victoria Road where the traffic lights are.

Hebburn
Town have a clubhouse, however if there is a large attendance the space
will be limited, so get there early. Entrance to the clubhouse is via the
front double doors only and the bar is up the stairs. There is no entry
through the emergency exits.
There are other bars available in Hebburn but it seems something of
a real ale desert. Travelling along Victoria Road from Jarrow, there is
The Clock, Victoria Rd, NE31 1YQ (on the right) and then The
Longship, Ushaw Road, NE31 2YA (left off Victoria Rd, next door to
Hebburn Swimming Baths, is part of the John Barras chain). Otherwise,
it's best really to drink in central Newcastle and head for the train.

History:
The club celebrated its centenary in 1912, although football in the town
dates back to 1882 and Hebburn Argyle. French engineer Alphonse Reyrolle
gifted what it is now the stadium for his workforce for football, cricket,
bowls and tennis. Hebburn's Northern League history began in 1989, although
it was relegated for the ground not being up to standard. Town won promotion
at the end of the 2011-12 season to Northern League Division 1 after a
third place finish. The club that season also reached the final qualifying
round of The FA Cup – the furthest the club has reached before a 3-0 defeat
at Gateshead.
