(Click on the Link Above for a Map of the Stadium)
Capacity - 7,653 (All-Seated)
Away Stand Facilities - 850 visiting fans can be housed in the South Stand which is all-seated, covered and situated behind one of the goals.
If there is demand for it, around 300 seats can be made available in the Alwyn Hargrave Stand which is also all-seated and covered but is situated along one of the sidelines.
Food and Drink – The Stadium is situated in a Retail Park area that amongst other things contains a cinema and also two Pubs. The Magic Tower Pub is a home fans only Pub but the Sixfields Tavern does tend to allow away fans in but not if they are wearing the colours of their team.
Also on the same Park are Old Orleans (for both food and drink), TGI Fridays and a Sports Bar so there is no shortage of places to eat right next to the Stadium.
