What's The Ground Like?

On one side is the new smart looking East Stand, opened in 2003. This single tiered, cantilevered stand, replaced a former terrace and has greatly improved the overall look of the ground. Perspex panels have been incorporated into the front of its roof allowing sunlight to reach the pitch. Opposite is the Reynolds Stand. This single tiered stand, built in 1994, is all seated and covered, with an executive area to its rear. Both ends are small covered terraces. Away fans are located in part of the seated East Stand on one side of the pitch and can also be given the South Stand Terrace.

Where to Drink?

There is a supporters club at the ground. Also behind the Reynolds Stand there is the Harriers Arms, a Banks's pub.

Where to Eat?

A five minute walk from behind the home end is Combert Hill, on which you will find some more pubs, plus the Captain Cod chip shop.

Other Places of Interest

Located behind the East Stand is the Severn Valley Railway, which runs steam trains up to Bridgnorth. It is not uncommon to see during a game puffs of white smoke come up from beyond one side of the ground, which gives the ground some character. The station also has its own pub, which is popular with fans attending the match. See www.svr.co.uk for more details.
