If travelling by car, parking is free and we would suggest arriving 45 minutes before kick-off for most games to ensure getting a space. For bigger matches it is advisable to arrive earlier.
Upon arrival, entry is through turnstiles at either end of the ground. Once inside you can find a club shop, tea bar / food bar selling variety of burgers, sausage in a roll, pies etc, or access the bars up the stairs behind the dug outs.
Bars are open to all fans before and after the game, with access to the outside balconies. Occasionally the main function bar will be closed after half time due to functions in the evening.
We are establishing a small family area outside the bars in the viewing area, overlooking the 3G pitches, with some games, puzzles, books and colouring things to help keep children occupied before kick-off. This is open to anyone with children but is not supervised.
