What's The Ground Like?

Over the last few years the ground has undergone - and is undergoing - a transformation. The tired old stands have either gone or been completely refurbished, the Club car park is also being completely relayed. A brand new stand at the Prospect Road End (PRE) is being constructed at present and will increase the capacity by 1300+. On the Main Stand side you have a small open terrace near the turnstiles and club shop, this leads to the front of the main stand, which has seating for 648 people. The other side of the Main Stand is another small terrace called the Chairman's Mound (498) traditional home of the PRE faithful. The Moor Road End (MRE) terrace (is for away supporters during segregated matches) and is covered with a capacity of 1,980. The Electronic scoreboard is above the MRE. The East Stand is completely cover with 1064 seats and a family enclosure.

Where to Eat and Drink?

At the ground - Turnstiles open at 12 noon on Saturdays and inside the ground there is the Platinum Lounge, The Dugout under the main stand (which is the main bar), and the Boro Burger Bar.

Outside the ground - The ground is located in a residential area and the nearest restaurants or pubs are in the main shopping area of Farnborough or Cove which is 1.5 miles from the ground

How to Get There by Car

From the M3 motorway

Leave the motorway at Junction 4 and take the A331 signed to Farnham. After a few hundred yards exit at the second slip road - signed A325 Farnborough - turn right at the roundabout and cross over the dual carriageway and a small roundabout.

From south of Farnborough

Take the A31, Guildford to Farnham road, and turn north onto the A331 dual carriageway, heading towards the M3. Ignore the Farnborough exit and leave the A331 at the Frimley exit before turning left at the top of the slip-road.

Pass the Farnborough Gate shopping centre on your left and at the next roundabout turn left onto the A325. Go over a pelican crossing and at the next set of lights take the right filter into Prospect Avenue. At the end of this road turn right at the roundabout into Cherrywood Road. The ground is half a mile on the right.
