THE GROUND
Wings fans will be housed behind the goal in the Community Stand in the south-east corner of the ground where seating is available.
The view from the stand is good with no supporting pillars impeding the view of the pitch, although the stand is shallow, compromising four rows of seating.

The clubhouse at the ground is open to home supporters only. Close to the ground is a Fullers pub called the Royal Staff on Mount Pleasant Road which accepts away fans.
Otherwise, the town offers a number of options, including the Crimea Inn (on the corner of the High Street and Crimea Road).
Further down the hughstreet is a Wetherspoon’s called the Queen Hotel.
