  STADIUM INFORMATION  
Highbury Stadium has a capacity of 5,094 with just under half seated. The Main stand running alongside the stadium is a very aesthetically pleasing stand and is all seated. Opposite this stand is the Highbury Stand and this stretches just half the length of the pitch. At either end is the Percy Ronson Stand and the Memorial Stand and both are covered terrace affairs. Each stand offers a fantastic view as they should. All stands have been rebuilt since 2006 and following the rise in stature the club has gone through, you can only see more development work taking place.

  AWAY FANS  
Away supporters are allocated the Percy Ronson Stand, where up to 800 fans can be accommodated. Views are excellent as the gradient is relatively steep and there are no supporting pillars. A small number of seats are also allocated to the visiting fans in the Parkside stand.

  WHERE TO DRINK  
There is a supporters bar called 'Jim's Sports Bar' located at the stadium which is a purpose built sports bar which opened in October 2008 and is open to both home and away supporters before and after the game. Supporters gain access to the bar via the alleyway at the rear of The Memorial Stand.

There is a large selection of both draught and bottled beers available with happy hour promotions and offers available. There is also a selection of hot food and drinks available from Jim’s Kitchen which is located in the bar.

Live football is shown on the 17 flat screen TV’s throughout the venue.

  PARKING  
The stadium is situated in the middle of a residential area and parking isn't usually a problem although you will need to avoid any residential permit parking zones as you'll end up with a ticket or a clamp. Very few of those around though so you shouldn't struggle for a spot. A good bet is either Gordon Road or Addison Road. Both literally moments away from the stadium.

  BY TRAIN  
Be aware that there is no train station in Fleetwood and therefore the most likely event is that you'll be travelling to Blackpool North. This is around 6-7 miles from the stadium and as such it'll be an expensive cab journey so your best option is to catch a number 1 bus from the station. This will take you into the heart of Fleetwood and within walking distance of the ground.
