Travel tips:-

Take M60 to  Junction 23
then turn left off slip road,

then get into the second from left lane to go through the lights onto the A6140 sign-posted Ashton.

Keep on the A6140 until you come to a set of traffic lights with a cinema on your right, turn left at these lights,

Follow road over a bridge then over a mini-roundabout then turn left after the mini-roundabout.

Ground is at the bottom.

ALL VEHICLES MUST PARK IN THE CAR PARK ON THE RIGHT. COACH PARK ON LEFT



The Tameside Stadium has a capacity of 4000, with seating provision for 527 in the covered stand. There is a covered standing area opposite the main stand offering protection from the elements for circa 600. A decent stadium, but it's always a good idea to don your  winter gear before a trip to this spot.
The stadium is neat and nicely appointed , but is also exposed to the elements that usually lash those in the vicinity in unremitting fashion..


The Stadium  is home for the most magnificent football related statue........  





 Toilet Facilities are a touch problematicle for  the travelling supporters, not many porta loos serving a large body of County supporters. 




Admitedly there are some more acceptable toilets in the ground, but away fans had a ridiculous trek to find them( near the main stand).


                  Sustenance!  

 `Atlas Bar’  sold food, and drinks including those of the alcoholic variety. 
The facility  was located better than the bogs, but hedgie found that, after queuing patiently….the heavily advertised  pies  were `not ready’ when he eventually made it to the front of the queue. 


     
     Programme.       

`The Nash’…all 60 pages of it, scores some  browny points for our  Tameside hosts. This is a fairly basic read, but had  8 pages on County last season including 5 of pen pictures. 






Not bad value at £2.50.




Real Ale Pubs in the vicinity......





Prince of Orange which is 0.6m away on Wellington Road  and.....




Junction Inn  on Turner Lane which is 0.7m away.
