A large Main Stand runs the length of the pitch but is set back from the playing area because of the stadium's athletics track. Mobile 'terracing', capable of accommodating a total of 600 people, is placed inside the track and behind each goal before kick-off, allowing home supporters to create more of an atmosphere than such grounds generally provide. There is additional seating in a shallow stand opposite the Main Stand, and various vantage points around the rest of the perimeter fencing, including raised terracing in front of the Main Stand.
The Clubhouse Bar, which is open to visiting supporters apart from in exceptional circumstances when segregation is required. In such cases, alternative arrangements are made.
Burgers, chips, teas and coffees are available from the Tea Bar facilities
Leave the M25 at junction 28 and join the A12, which is signposted Chelmsford. After nine miles, take the exit for Chelmsford/Harlow. Join the dual carriageway, passing a golf course on the left, until reaching the first of two roundabouts. Go straight over the first, then turn left at the second, signposted Chelmsford Crematorium. Eventually take the A1060 (Rainsford Road). At second set of lights turn right into Chignall Road, and take another right soon afterwards into Melbourne Avenue. Turn left into Salerno Way in front of the big block of flats. Ample free parking is available in the Centre's car park adjacent to the stadium, although early arrival is recommended to secure a place. For bigger matches, overflow parking is arranged on the nearby park.
Chelmsford Station. Buses 54 and 56 run a regular 15-minute service, departing from the old Bus Station opposite the train station. The journey takes about 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a taxi from the rear of the station.
