COURT PLACE FARM

Opened in 1993 the Court Place Farm Football Ground is quite an open one. On one side is the Main Stand. This covered all seated stand runs for just over half the length of the pitch. It contains four rows of seating and has windshields to either side. The main disappointment is there a large number of supporting pillars running across the front of it. Opposite is a small covered terrace that is around the same size of the Main Stand in length, straddling the half way line.

Unusually for a terrace it has windshields to either side, although it does have some supporting pillars. It has the team dug outs located in front of it, where as normally you would expect them to be located in front of the Main Stand. There is a new seated stand erected in 2016/17 positioned towards the North West end of the ground on this side. It has four rows of seats, with 158 in total. The Marsh Lane End itself is dominated by the club house and Club offices which sits directly behind.

Although its green colour may have been intended to help it blend in with the environment, it seems to me to do quite the contrary. It does though feature the entrance gates to the Club’s former nostalgic White House ground.

There is a flat standing area for spectators in front of it. At the other end is a small covered terrace, that runs for around half the length of the pitch and is situated directly behind the goal. Again there are a number of supporting pillars running across the front. The stadium is completed by a set of four modern floodlight pylons.

In 2018 a new artificial 3G pitch was installed at the Court Place Farm Stadium.
