The Seddon Stadium is a 2500 capacity ground including 1000 seats that's only recently been developed, with the ground only having both a clubhouse and floodlights in time for the 1992/3 season. Behind both goals are there are covered sections with a couple of rows of seats (which get peppered with stray shots before kick off and half time) and the other two stands are mainly standing space with a few small covered and seating bits.
The trees behind the stands as can be seen in the picture above look nice, unfortunately some parts of the ground are looking a bit run down and ugly but the FA cup prize money the club has gained from this season's run should give them the chance to patch up and redecorate.
For those getting there via public transport, the ground is fairly close to the train station with multimap putting it at a distance of 0.53 miles - but the route isn't at all direct and the walk itself ends up being about a mile. Those arriving in a car can easily park on a nearby street and walk up.
Admission is £7 adults, £4 concessions, £1 under 16s. I got a programme at £2, it's a basic paper one and a bit thin for £2 to be honest especially as this one was for arguably their biggest game ever so you'd think there'd be more content than usual. Again the FA cup money might give the club the chance to update to a glossy one with more content.
I didn't look at the food and drink so can't tell you prices - there's a small bit in the corner of the ground serving it and, given the huge crowd yesterday, didn't fancy the queuing!
