At the next crossroads turn left into Middlefield Lane and follow the road around to the right and down the hill. The ground is at the bottom of the hill at the end of the road. |

| VIEW MAIN STAND |

| As a trivial fact, the seats in the Main Stand were actually the seats used in Leicester City's old West Stand. |
| The Ron Holtham Stand |
| VIEW RON HOLTHAM STAND |
| The Ron Holtham Stand is covered terracing for 1000 people, and extends for two thirds the length of the pitch, on the North side. |
| This stand was posthumously named after clubmember Ron Holtham, for his services to the club, but is known as the Chicken Shed. This is because the old stand was a rusty corrigated ramshackle affair which blew down in the hurricane of the late eighties! |
| It looked like a chicken shed, so hence the name. |
