General Information:
Although the ground is on the small side, it is well
maintained and it has a certain charm about it. The Main Stand is the most
recent addition to the ground, being opened in 1996. It is a tidy little all
seated covered stand that straddles the halfway line of the pitch. It has a
capacity of 426 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 pitch has a slope running up
from the Castle End to the Meadow Street Terrace. 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 Fans View:
If fans are segregated, then away
supporters are mostly housed in the Meadow End where around 900 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 situated close to the
playing action. The facilities are okay and refreshments are provided by the
obligatory burger van. In addition to the terrace around 100 seats are made
available to away supporters in the Main Stand. If segregation is not in force
then you can access the Club's catering outlet by the Club House, which offers
amongst other things; 1/2 Pounder Cheeseburger (£3), 1/2 Pounder Beefburger
(£2.80), 1/4 Pounder Cheeseburger (£2.20), 1/4 Pounder Beefburger (£2), Hot dogs
(£2), Pukka Pies (£1.70), Chips (£1), plus various sauces and gravy (50p).
Over the years I have attended a number of games at the Lamb, as Tamworth is
fairly local to where I live. I have always been impressed with the good
atmosphere at the games that I have been to. The small covered stands allow a
lot of noise to be generated and this is taken advantage of by the supporters of
both sides.
