For the Away fan
Away fans are housed in the Rossington Terrace at one end of the ground, where up to 2,400 fans can be accommodated. A small number of seats (241) are also allocated to away supporters in the Main Stand. There is a number of supporting pillars at the front of this stand that could hinder your view, but at least you will be under cover unlike the Rossington Terrace, which is open to the elements.
