Local event

Pennine snow

January games are the most likely in the calendar to be affected by snow on the surrounding hills.

Ground note

Huddersfield is at altitude in the Pennines — expect colder, windier conditions than the forecast for lowland towns suggests.

Ground note

Town-centre one-way systems can confuse first-time drivers; sat-nav to the stadium directly.
