Impressions Of The Ground
When going there this season you find the JJB stadium to be a very modern stadium with good facilities but missing one vital ingredient, fans! Away fans are given one of the side stands which can hold around 7,000 if needed. Average home gates are about 6-7,000.

The stadium is different to most new stadiums, None of the corners are filed in and there are some dramatic looking steel girders on the roof of the two side stands.

Directions To The Ground Leave the M6 at Junction 26 and connect on to the A49. Then head in to Scot Lane, you can then clearly see the ground. Car parking is free at the stadium

 

 

Pub Guide
The retail park next to the stadium has a pub, which will allow away fans in. This is called the Red Robin.

Also worth a look is a pub called Champions which is situated directly opposite the main entrance to the stadium
