The complex car park is shared with the golf course and Rotherham United Academy. The ground has two seated stands behind the goal by the turnstile entrance with a tea hut in between. The smallest of the two covered seated stands is nicknamed “The Saga Stand”. There’s a few large steps of terracing running down one side with a small covered enclosure. The far goal is open and the other side has a hedge border which runs pitch length with the RUFC pitches on the other side.A new record attendance was set in July when a capacity crowd of 1,536 witnessed a pre-season friendly v Rotherham United
