WHAT IS THE STADIUM LIKE?
With the Club’s success on the field and rising attendances, the ground has seen some quite a lot of development in the last ten years and this transformation is continuing with the building of a new Main Stand.
Called the Damson Homes Stand, it is two-storey and runs the full length of the pitch. With a capacity of 1,219 seats, it is effectively a ‘double-decker’ stand with a seating area below and up above areas for corporate hospitality boxes, press etc.. Disappointingly for a new stand, it does have a number of supporting pillars running along the front of the lower tier.
Opposite is the Gas Centre Stand, or also known as the Car Park or Airport side. In fact, you can see one of the nearby Birmingham Airport Conning Towers in the distance behind it. This is comprised of three blocks of temporary seating, comprising around 1,300 seats. Although covered, two of the blocks have more flimsy material meaning they flap up and down a little if it is a bit windy.
At the Draintech End of the ground, is a small covered terrace. Although it is only seven steps high, it does run for the full width of the pitch and has a capacity of just under 1,000. If segregation is in place then, most if not all of this end is given to visiting supporters.
At the opposite end is the Jerroms Stand, which is also known as the Damson Lane End. This small covered terrace is known to the local fans as the ‘Shed End’. The ground has a set of seven tall floodlight pylons, three of which are located on the Main Stand side and four running down the opposite side.
Solihull Moors were formed after the amalgamation of Solihull Borough and Moor Green Football Clubs in 2007. Moor Green were forced to leave their Moorlands Ground after their Main Stand was destroyed by fire. The ground was known as Damson Park for many years but was renamed the ARMCO Arena for sponsorship reasons a few years back.
The stadium is also home to Birmingham City Ladies FC and occasionally it is also used for Birmingham City development squad matches

DIRECTIONS AND CAR PARKING
Leave the M42 at Junction 6 and take the A45 towards Birmingham. After around two miles, you will come to a major set of traffic lights that has a Holiday Inn over to your right and the entrance to Birmingham Freight Cargo Terminal.
Turn left at these lights (Sign Posted, Land Rover/Damsonwood) into Damson Parkway. Go up to the roundabout, on which there is an entrance to the Land Rover car plant. Go completely around the roundabout to come back on yourself. The entrance to the ground is a short distance down on the left.
The post code used by the Club takes you a fair distance from the stadium. I have found using this post code for SatNavs: B92 0PF takes you much closer to the roundabout by the Land Rovers Works next to the stadium.
Car Parking
There is a fair sized car park at the ground which costs £5. However, it does fill up quickly so make sure you arrive in plenty of time.
For some bigger games then the NCP Car Park at the Birmingham Airport Cargo Terminal (B26 3QT) allows fans to park. You need to inform the NCP staff on entry that you are there for the football and they will issue you with a ticket. The NCP Car Park is just under a mile away from the ground, or about a 20-minute walk
BY TRAIN
Solihull Railway Station is served by trains from Birmingham Moor Street and London Marylebone. The ground is situated two and half miles away from the station in a roughly north-easterly direction. There is a half-hourly bus service available throughout most of the day if you don’t fancy the walk
TRAINS from London
The easiest and cheapest way is from London Marylebone which is direct to Solihull

WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR VISITING SUPPORTERS?
Most matches at Damson Park are segregated. Away fans are mostly housed in the Draintech Terrace at one end of the ground. Dependant on numbers then all or part of this terrace is given to visiting supporters. This terrace is mostly covered to the rear and has seven steps with a capacity of just under 1,000WHAT IS THE STADIUM LIKE?
