General Information:

Away fans are located at one end of the ground, in the covered Frank Naginton Terrace, where up to 1,480 fans can be housed. The entrance to the away area is at the top of the stand, so you descend through the concourse at the back of the stand and then onto the rear of the terrace. On the concourse are separate areas for serving alcohol and food. Bitter, Lager & Cider are available and there are TV's around, showing SKY Sports. The bar also handily opens again at half time. Generally the atmosphere inside the stadium is good, with a relative few visiting fans being able to generate some noise from the covered away stand. Unusually the Club have taken the decision not allocate a seating area for away fans so only the terrace is available.
