OVERVIEW OF FRASER EAGLE STADIUM:

The ground is quite small, set in a picturesque area with views over fields and hills behind the Coppice Terrace at one end of the ground. The Main and Thwaites Stand is along one side of the ground, sitting each side of the halfway line, with a gap between the two. They are both seated and covered and have a row of flood lights at the back. Because of the slope of the pitch there are less seats in the Thwaites Stand than the main Stand!

The opposite side of the pitch has the very small covered terrace called the Whinney Hill Terrace, just 3 rows of terracing.

Behind one goal is the home end, called the Clayton End, a covered Terrace

WHERE THE VALIANTS WILL BE HOUSED:

Away Fans are housed in the Coppice Terrace which is open to the elements and as the ground is pretty exposed be advised and wrap up!

WHERE TO GET A DRINK:

The nearest pub is the Crown, just behind the ground on the main Whalley Road., where all fans are welcome. It has memorabilia donated by fans of many clubs, a beer garden, and sports screen TV.

The Oaklea Tavern, 2 minutes from the ground towards the town centre, serves freshly cooked food and has plasma screen TV, but no track suits or base ball caps.

WHERE TO EAT:

Burgers and Holland Pies are served at the ground. Tracy's fish and chip shop is next to the Oakley Pub, two minutes walk from the ground.
