Where to sit or stand:
At Sharmans Cross, you have the option to sit in the new 1000 seater stand. This costs slightly more money which must be paid on the gate. I prefer to stand on the other side (the dugout side). The three terrace standing places are an option, as is standing by the bar which seems to be quite a popular option. The ground is very open, so you can walk round all the parts of the ground.
Other features:
The main food option is a burger van which is generally reasonably priced. This is inside the ground, next to the clubhouse, and the toilets have been recently refurbished.
Generally the disabled access is very good purely because the ground is so open. Wheelchairs can easily get around everywhere and the ground is tarmacked in most areas.

The Sharmans Cross is an alternative. It's a nice place, recently
