Away Ground Guide- Curzon Ashton (Saturday 24 September 2016. )
Curzon Ashton FC
Tameside Stadium,
Richmond Street,
ASHTON UNDER LYNE, Lancashire,
OL7 9HG
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, is this, if a touch unsuited to the mind
numbingly ludicrous policy of segregation, which saw 1600 County fans, from a
crowd of under1800, kept from the Nash Bar by the stewards last season. Curzon
Ashton must have been as bereft as were the County fans, however….the police
were happy!

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.

ALL VEHICLES MUST PARK IN THE CAR PARK ON THE
RIGHT. COACH PARK ON LEFT
Sustenance;
There
is a perfectly serviceable snack bar in the main stand area....however....last
seasons segregation policy ensured that …..there was no room at the inn for
County fans, who were kept from the rather neat catering unit under the main
stand, being restricted to the burger van at the other end of the stand which
was hurriedly provided and was subsequently surrounded by the world’s longest
queue game long! Another triumph for police intelligence! Many I knew did not bother
to eat due to the queue’s, but not so the Man in a Hat who was in position
early doors and in possession of a burger in no time….know he no shame?
The
Sports Bar serves a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks but
will it be accessible to County fans ?
