The ground has just one seated area, the Main Stand (capacity 650), which is located on the south-east side of the pitch. The opposite side of the pitch has a covered terraced area, with either end of the pitch uncovered.

There is not usually segregation of home and away fans, although exceptions are made for big games such as the post-qualifying stages of the FA Cup.

The record attendance is 5,085 for a game versus Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup 1st Round in November 1997.
