WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR VISITING SUPPORTERS?
Away fans are mostly housed in the Collingwood Road End. This a mix of a modern terrace and towards the Main Stand a seated stand which are both covered, meaning that not only is there some shelter from the elements, but also that fans can more easily generate some noise. To gain entrance to this stand, you need to walk through the park alongside the ground. The toilets at that end are from a bygone era, but are now accompanied by portacabins!
Also look out for the unusual-looking club mascot called Jenny the Giraffe, not that you can easily miss her!

WHAT IS THE STADIUM LIKE?
The Grandstand, located on one side of the pitch, was opened in 1951. This simple single-tiered all-seated Main Stand has a capacity of 765 seats and is covered. It does though have a row of supporting pillars located along its front. The stand runs for around half the length of the pitch but is situated off-centre, in comparison to the halfway line. The team dugouts are also situated at the front of this stand. Oddly the blue and red seats of the Grandstand do not reflect the Club’s colours. In one corner of the ground in between the Grandstand and Collingwood Road End is a blue two-storey rectangular portacabin-type structure that has a small electronic scoreboard on its roof. Between this and the Main Stand, new terracing was added in 2022 and named The Tardis Terrace. Though built for the Home Fans, it will used for Away Fans if demand requires.
Opposite the railway side of the ground is a small covered terrace, called the Recreational or Rec Terrace, which has a box-like structure on its roof, which is used for television cameras. The terrace itself is set well back from the pitch. Both ends have small covered terraces, which are similar in design. One of these the Collingwood Road End was opened in 2015, though in 2022 was replaced with a half and half terrace/seated stand, which houses away supporters, as well as new floodlights and turnstiles.. The Gander Green Lane End opposite is unusual in that it has sweeping curved open terraces around each corner, either side of the covered terrace behind the goal. giving the stadium a bit of character. Their oval curvature gives a clue to the fact that the ground once used to have an athletics track surrounding the pitch. In between one of these terraces and the Rec Terrace there used to be a small separate portion of terracing, which was nicknamed the ‘Shoe Box’ by the local fans, though demolished in 2022. The Club plays on an artificial 3G playing surface. The stadium is completed with a set of modern-looking floodlights.
