McAlpine Stadium

n my opinion one of the best current league grounds. The ground is newish, attractive, has car parking (£ 4 though!) and a pleasant feel to it. Aesthetically a pleasure to look at. Rather a windy ground though. Four fairly similar stands. One side of the ground is outlined by trees and for some reason that aspect reminded me a little of Wycombe's ground at Adams Park.

The style is very like Bolton's Reebok Stadium and a little like the JJB Stadium at Wigan. It is one of the increasing number of grounds that also host Rugby League. The ground is too good for Division 2 and as I write after the opening day of the 2002-3 season there does not seem too much chance that this will change. I have to admit also that the ground in parts is starting to look just a tiny bit jaded and some renovations would not go amiss.
