    It's about 3km from Lisburn centre, or 12km from Belfast city centre. If you're going by public transport, Lambeg station is slightly closer than Lisburn central but still a 3km walk. Buses pass near the ground on Belfast-Lisburn routes.

    Approx 3 kms.
    The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
    But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
    Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
    And this is what we sang...

    Not the easiest stadium to get to using public transport. It really is in the ****hole of nowhere.

    True. Best getting to Lisburn and then take a taxi.

    Another option is get a taxi from the Bot, which is on Malone Road and is good for a few pre match pints. Grovensor is essentially way, way up the Malone Road.

    Cost of a taxi should be approx £6.00/£8.00

    Depending on traffic, about 10/15 minutes journey time.

    Thanks alot NotBrazil.

    By the way to answer the other question "why Lisburn Distillery", well I'm going to Lisburn, so I thought I'd check out the ground.
