WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR VISITING SUPPORTERS?
If fans are segregated, then away supporters are mostly housed in the Meadow End, where around 850 supporters can be accommodated. This small terrace is partly covered and also comprises some flat standing areas. The good thing is that the fans are close to the playing action.
The facilities are okay, and the obligatory burger van provides refreshments. In addition to the terrace, around 90 seats are made available to away supporters in the Main Stand. For teams with a larger following, half the ‘Shed’ terrace can also be allocated.
WHAT IS THE STADIUM LIKE?
From the outside, the Lamb Ground (officially known as the CR MOT Centre Community Stadium at The Lamb) looks uninspiring.
However, inside, you appreciate that it is well-maintained and that it has a certain charm. The Main Stand is the most recent addition to the ground, having opened in 1996. It is a tidy little covered stand that straddles the halfway line of the pitch. It has a capacity of 518 seats.
The other side is a small covered terrace, known by the fans as ‘The Shed’ which runs nearly the full length of the pitch. This terrace is home to the ‘The Shed Choir’ (in reference to the Tamworth fans who sing in this stand). On its roof is a television gantry, complete with a large model owl to help deter the presence of other birds.
The Castle End is an open terrace, whilst the other end is a partly covered terrace (to the rear). This end, the Meadow Street End, is given to away supporters.
The ground is overlooked in one corner by the sizeable Tamworth Snowdome. It gets its unusual name from a former public house called the Lamb Inn that used to be situated near to the entrance to the club car park.
A new artificial 3G playing surface was installed at the Lamb Ground during the summer of 2016, levelling out the previous slope.
WHERE TO DRINK?
Pubs near the Lamb Ground for away fans:
- The Penny Black – 2 Lower Gungate, Tamworth B79 7AL
- The Bolebridge – 8 Bolebridge St, Tamworth B79 7PA
- The White Lion – 1 Aldergate, Tamworth B79 7DJ
For fixtures expected to have a livelier atmosphere than most, specifically those that are deemed local derbies or important cup matches, this privilege may be overturned.
DIRECTIONS AND CAR PARKING
Leave the M42 at Junction 10 and take the A5 towards Tamworth. Follow the A5 bypass into the town and take the turn for the town centre. Follow the signs towards the Snow Dome and Glascote/Amington. You should see the ground on your right after passing the Snow Dome on your left.
There is a fair-sized car park at the ground, which costs £2 for cars, £5 for minibuses and £10 for coaches. Otherwise, street parking is available nearby.
BY TRAIN
Tamworth Railway Station is around a 10-15 minute walk away from the Lamb ground. Sited at an intersection of two major rail lines, it is well served by trains from Birmingham New Street, Crewe and London Euston.
Exit the station and walk down the station, approaching the traffic island in front of it. Turn left along Saxon Drive and continue to follow it, bearing round to the left at the next roundabout, which takes you over the river. Turn left into Amington Road, cross the road and cross over the grassed area. Cross Glascote Road close to the railway viaduct. Go straight on into Kettlebrook Road, where the ground is on the right.
