Compact stadium, with open terraces behind both goals and corner flanks. A longish, low seated area is on opposite side of the ground to the main stand; the main stand has limited seating.nI went on a fine day, and a decent crowd was there, there were plenty of places to watch from. All areas around the pitch are close to the action and narrow walkways exist around the touchline.nnIf it were a rainy day you’d need appropriate clothing as not a massive amount of shelter.nFacilities pretty good, bars and social clubs accessible, not overpriced. Food outlets decent grub.nParking, I discovered on fan pages that parking on a Saturday close to the ground could be found in the neighbouring industrial estate, which coming from M27, is next left past the ground at the following roundabout.nnIf you have any need of parking at the ground, call them in advance, the people working at the ground seemed friendly and helpful, pretty sure they’d help out if you had mobility issues etc.nThat helpfulness extended to the stewards and bar staff, there seems a friendly enough feel to the place and lots of families with young kids and youths in amongst the older crowd.nnThe industrial estate was easy to find and I parked up on the street, had a short 5-10 minute stroll to the ground and no bother getting on or out, the roads seemed free-flowing enough.nI didn’t have to queue to get back on the main road, probably timed it well as there were a fair few retrieving their cars as I left; I was out of the ground pretty sharpish on the final whistle, and on the road without any issues, so maybe I beat the rush??nI would expect capacity match days could be different or if any parking restrictions were applied on the estate; hopefully people will continue to park sensibly and keep the system in place because it seemed to work well and cost nothing.nnA very compact modern football stadium where the crowd is close to the action, that is run by friendly folk, a bit short on shelter, easy access from nearby main roads on the occasion I went.
All the staff are very pleasant. Unfortunately you do not seem to be able to reserve a seat. Not ideal for older supporters. This is not a problem normally but when it gets busy it is. The only seat available, at the semi final, had a restricted view and I had to put up with people smoking around me. I ended up leaving at half time. Still I did manage to see the last 5 home games in relative comfort.
Very nice enviroment for Non-League football fans! :
Ripoff prices. £7 for a kids ticket and £3 for a programme.nAbsolutely drenched and the game was paused for an hournThree pizza slices for £3 is absolutely horrendousnnThe staff were welcoming, however I wouldn't come here again due to travel restrictions
A very decent non league experience
