What's The Ground Like?

A new stadium that was opened in 2005. On one side is the Dane Bank Stand. This is a large covered terrace. Interestingly it was transported piece by piece from the Club's old Drill Field Ground and erected at the new stadium. Opposite is the tidy looking Victoria Stand. This all seated covered stand runs for around half the length of the pitch and sits astride the half way line. Running across the back of the stand is a glass fronted area which includes some corporate hospitality areas. Both ends are small open terraces. The ground has a set of four modern looking floodlights. Away fans are mostly housed in the West Terrace at one end of the ground, with some seats also being made available in the Victoria Stand.

Where to Eat & Drink?

Alcohol can be purchased inside the stadium, otherwise there is the Black Greyhound pub which is located about a half a mile away from the stadium.

How to Get There by Car & Where to Park

Leave the M6 at J19 and take the A556 towards Northwich. After three miles, turn right onto the A559 again towards Northwich. Then at the traffic lights just by the Ho King Chinese take away, turn right in the direction of Warrington. Then turn left at the crossroads by the Black Greyhound public house. Follow the road until the Renault Garage (Lookers), on the left, turn left into Wincham Avenue. The ground is at the bottom of the road on the right. There is a large car park at the stadium which costs £2 per vehicle.
