How To Get There: Eco-Power Stadium (DN4 5JW)

The Eco-Power Stadium is located on Stadium Way, Doncaster DN4 5JW. 

Having been opened in 2007, the ground can hold up to a capacity of over 15,000 supporters, with an away allocation of 2,934 for this fixture. 

Gates open at 6:15pm and all away supporters will be situated in the North Stand. 

Official Supporter Travel 

For those who are travelling on our official supporter travel, the buses will depart Mold Road at 3:45pm, and there will be no provisions for those who arrive late.

Supporters must make note of their designated coach on the ticket and must only board the coach they’ve been allocated to.

All under-14s must be accompanied on official supporter travel, and alcohol is strictly prohibited by law.

If you’re travelling by bus

If you are travelling by bus, buses will leave Doncaster Frenchgate Interchange direct to the ground as follows:Service 70 at 25, 50 and 55 minutes past each hour, while Service 56 on the hour and 15, 30 and 45 minutes past each hour.

The journey time is approximately 10 minutes.

If you’re travelling by car

If you’re travelling from the STōK Cae Ras, join the A483 Northbound and follow towards Chester until you reach the Wrexham Road interchange.

Once you reach the roundabout, you will need to take the third exit onto the A55 slip road towards the M53.

Stay on the M53 until Junction 11, at which point you should take the M56 exit. From here, stay on the M56 for over 30 miles, before using the right lane to merge onto the M60. 

You should stay on this road for six miles, before exiting at Junction 24 and taking the slip road to Denton Island. At the next roundabout you should take the third exit onto the M67 and continue on for another 20 miles. 

After this you should exit onto the A616 and remain on this road for ten miles, before joining the M1. 

Remain on the M1 until Junction 32, when you join the M18 Eastbound. 

Once on the M18, leave at Junction 3 and take the A6182 towards Doncaster (the stadium is well signposted from Junction 3 and is around one and a half miles away). 

You will pass a retail park on your left and then at the next traffic lights (which has the Lakeside Pub visible behind it) turn left onto White Rose Way. 

The Lakeside Shopping Centre is now on your right (the stadium is located directly behind the shopping centre). 

At the next island turn right onto the industrial estate and after passing the Tesco distribution centre on your right, turn right at the bottom of the road and the stadium will come into view further down on your left. 

If you’re travelling by train 

The nearest train station to the ground is Doncaster Station, which is less than two miles away from the Eco-Power Stadium. 

A bus service is available from the Transport Interchange (attached to the Train Station), but it is roughly a 30 minute walk to the ground from Doncaster station.  

On average, a journey from Wrexham General to Doncaster takes just over three hours. 

Parking 

There are only 1,000 car parking spaces at the Eco-Power Stadium, which means that parking can become limited, dependent on the fixture. 


It costs £5 to park at the ground, with all parking on a first-come, first-served basis, with the exception of 60 spaces which have been reserved for disabled fans, which must have been booked prior to match-day. 

There are a number of companies on the nearby industrial park which offer parking options at a similar cost, however supporters must be aware that users park at their own risk. 

Supporters must ensure if they are parking within the surrounding areas that they do so respectfully and adhere to all signage displayed.

Ticket Collections 

To avoid lengthy queues on the day of the game and ensure that you can make it into the stadium for kick-off, we strongly advise fans to collect from the STōK Cae Ras, with collections available until 2.30pm.

Doncaster Rovers have very kindly offered a collection facility for our supporters from the Eco-Power Stadium at Club Doncaster Academy reception; which is available to supporters from 6.15pm.

Tickets are no longer on sale via our e-ticketing website, however you can still purchase them via Doncaster Rovers at the stadium from 6.15pm.

Tickets can be collected from the STōK Cae Ras, where you will have to provide proof of purchase through your booking reference. We cannot accept postcodes or any other information for collections.

Should anyone wish to collect on behalf of another supporter, as outlined above a booking reference will be required.

There are no provisions for reprints on the day – so supporters need to take care of their ticket once received.

Away Pubs

Doncaster Rovers suggest that one option for away supporters is The Leopard, which is only a four minute walk from the Doncaster Train Station.  

The Leopard is located on 2 West Street, Doncaster, DN1 3AA. As the stadium is on the outskirts of town, the best place for food and drink when you get to the Eco-Power Stadium would be from the Stadium itself.

Flags and Banners

Any large flags, banners or surfers must be flame retardant and have a fire safety certificate to prove so. Providing this in advance of match day will help speed up pre-entry checks on admission to the stadium. 

Supporter Conduct 

Wrexham AFC wishes to remind supporters of the potential safety implications and consequences that may occur as a result of pitch incursions and other illegal and unacceptable behaviour.

As previously communicated, supporters who encroach on the pitch risk facing a Football Banning Order as well as a criminal conviction, while the Club itself could also face a fine for these actions.

There may also be other implications for the Club, including restrictions on future away ticket allocations. This is due to potential safety measures the home Club are required to put in place which impacts on the availability of seating.

The Club understands the emotion and passion that comes with attending the match as a fan but must reiterate that the safety of players, managers and supporters on both sides remains our priority.

The vast majority of fans have – and continue to – support the Club in an appropriate manner and are a credit to Wrexham AFC, but we will seek the strongest possible punishment for those who enter the field of play or engage in any other unacceptable behaviour.

As in line with the FA initiative, Wrexham AFC fully support the ‘Love Football Protect the Game’ program.

Wrexham AFC support the new measures that have been implemented to both improve participant and fan behaviour across the board.

Wrexham AFC operates a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind, and supporters are encouraged to come forward and report any incidents it to the nearest steward, the Club, or Kick it Out.
