What's The Ground Like?

On one side is the impressive looking Main Stand. This stand runs for around half the length of the pitch, but is situated to one side of the half way line. It is covered and all seated and is free of supporting pillars, but unfortunately has a floodlight pylon located directly in front of it. To one side is the team's entrance to ground from the dressing rooms behind. This side of the ground also contains a small covered terrace. Opposite is a small open terrace that runs almost the full length of the pitch. It does though have a set of four floodlight pylons running across the front of it. Unusually the dugouts are located on this side of the pitch, opposite to the Main Stand. Both ends are small covered terraces, one of which is split into two sections. There is a noticeable slope to the pitch which runs down from one end of the ground to the other.

Where to Eat & Drink?

There is a good sized club house, the entrance to which is just outside the main turnstiles. Away fans are welcome to use it. Otherwise in walking distance on the main Petersfield Road (going towards Havant) is the Heron Pub, which is also serves food. If traveling by car then you may consider stopping off at Havant on the way amongst other outlets is a Wetherspoons and a McDonalds.
