all information is correct up to 12 June 2002
What is the ground like?
The pitch has benefited from a big investment during the past year and is now one of the best in the Third Division, and the club even has 12 posh hospitality boxes left behind when West Hartlepool Rugby Club used to share the ground.
What is it like for away fans?
Away fans sit under cover in the "Rink End" of the ground which is behind the oal at the north end. They are warmly welcomed in the supporters club, "The Corner Flag."

The Corner Flag can be found at the north west corner of the ground but can only be accessed from outside of the stadium.
Where is their for away fans to drink?
They can enjoy a pint of the local brew, Camerons Strongarm, which is famous for its ruby red colour and foaming head.

Church Street has the biggest choice of pubs and places to eat and its right beside the railway station.
How to get their and where to park?
It is just off the main A689 dual carriageway which  runs right through the town centre from the main A19 trunk road North and South.
Where is the nearest train station?
Hartlepool United's Victoria Park is right in the town centre just a five minute walk from the train station.
