Up to 1,500 visiting fans can be housed in the East Stand which is an all-seated and covered Stand which is situated on one side of the pitch although if demand requires, the allocation can be increased to up to 2,000.
If there is larger demand, the temporary South Stand can be allocated to visiting fans. This is an all-seated but uncovered Stand which is situated behind one of the goals.
There is a large Car Park located at the Stadium.
There is also a council-operated Car Park on the opposite side of the dual-carriageway which is handier for making a quick getaway after the game.Road Directions

The nearest Station to the Stadium is Pokesdown which is around a mile from the Stadium and therefore around a 15 minute walk away.
Bournemouth Central is the best served Station but it is around half and hour's walk from the Stadium. Therefore the best option is get a Taxi to the Stadium (which will cost around £7-8) or catch a connecting train to Pokesdown Station from Bournemouth Central.
To find the Stadium for Pokesdown Station:
Exit the station and turn right onto the A35 Christchurch Road and after about 400 metres turn right into Gloucester Road where the Stadium is situated.

The Cherry Tree Bar at the back of the Main Stand is for home supporters only but there is a Pub near to the Dual Carriageway called the Queens Park which welcomes both home and away fans.
