The Osmond Stand

Away fans sit in the Osmond stand at the south end of the ground, where there are around 1,250 seats, positioned directly behind the goal. This stand was built in 1939 and has a total capacity of 1,904 seats - shared between home and away fans.

This is at the north end of the ground behind one of the goals. The stand has a total capacity of 1,807.

Floodlit football was introduced in 1953, and eight years later the Pontoon Stand was replaced by a structure of the same name.

The Findus Stand

Promotion in 1980 saw the start of further changes. Following the Main Stand was made 'all seating' and the Barrett Stand made way for the Findus Family Stand.

The Findus stand was made all seating in 1995.  This stand has a total capacity of 2,864.
