Away end information

Visiting supporters are normally in a section of the covered Arkell's Stand along the touchline. Large followings can also use the uncovered Stratton Bank behind the goal.

Away ticket allocation

The routine visiting allocation is around 1,200 seats in the Arkell's Stand. For selected high-demand or cup fixtures, the Stratton Bank can add roughly 2,100 places.

The exact blocks and whether the uncovered end opens depend on home demand, segregation and competition. Use the visiting club's current sale information as the authority.

Where away fans sit

The Arkell's Stand is the older covered side stand and provides a touchline view. The Stratton Bank is the small end behind the goal and has no roof.

The two areas use different turnstiles, so follow the stand printed on the ticket and do not assume a large following automatically means Stratton Bank access.

View and atmosphere

Arkell's provides shelter and a side-on view, although roof supports can affect some sightlines. Stratton Bank is more exposed and requires appropriate clothing for rain, wind or strong sun.

Using both sections can spread the visiting support, while a compact Arkell's allocation usually keeps the atmosphere concentrated.

Food, drink and payments

Away concessions provide hot food, snacks and drinks. The outlets and range depend on which stands are open, and alcohol service can change by fixture.

Take a working card and charged phone, but check the visiting club's notice for any specific payment instructions.

Tickets and accessibility

Buy through the visiting club and follow its digital-ticket, collection and duplicate-ticket arrangements. Arrive early if the Stratton Bank is open because the away approach serves more supporters.

Accessible seating and the limited parking spaces need advance arrangement; do not rely on availability at the turnstile.

Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 15 September 2026.
