About the Ground
Crewe are on the road looking for there first away win since November. The Railwaymen will be buoyed with the 2-2 draw at home to League One leaders Swansea City on Saturday and will look for three points to steer themselves away from the relegation zone. The ground has seen a lot of re-development in recent years, with the construction of two new stands and has a capacity of 9,271. Finance for this has chiefly come from the proceeds of selling part of the Brisbane Road site to a property developer. In this groundbreaking development, the corners of the ground are being filled with blocks of residential apartments, which will certainly give the stadium a unique look. The North End of the ground is currently unused. The former terrace has been demolished in preparation for the building of a new Stand. The new North Stand will be similar in design to the existing South Stand, with a capacity of 1,500. It is intended that this will in the future house away supporters. However, it is unclear as to when the building of this stand might commence.
