The Experience
 The ground is well hidden and clearly 1 in need of serious development. The away end is covered and fully seated, however with a couple of supporting pillars in the way. Towards the left there is the main stand which is seating, however some sections are not covered. The stand behind the goal is terracing with a roof on. Towards the right there are 3 separate stands. The nearest to the away end is the family stand then in the middle is some seating then towards the left is some uncovered terracing.
