| What's The Ground Like? |
|
On one side of the ground is an old looking wooden
Main Stand. This single tiered covered stand, is all seated and runs for around
half the length of the pitch. This stand has a fair number of supporting pillars
running along the front of it, although the seating is raised above pitch level.
There is also a tiny terrace in front of this stand. Entrance to the seated Main
Stand is gained within the ground, on payment of a transfer fee (£2 per adult,
£1 per concession). Opposite is a fair sized terrace, which has a simple rusty
looking roof which covers the middle portion of it. One end is known as the
Plough End, gaining its name from the pub that is situated just behind it. This is a
former covered terrace (to the rear), that was made all seated in 2006. The
stand looks quite
picturesque with a wooded hill just beyond it. The other end, known as the Swanscombe End, is an open
terrace, that is dominated by a huge electricity pylon which sits directly
behind it. The Club Shop is located inside the ground.
The Club was formed in 1946, following the merger of Northfleet United and Gravesend United. It was renamed Ebbsfleet United in 2007. |

| What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters? |
| Rob Crossan comments; 'Normally segregation is not in force for most home games. However if required then the open terrace at one of the ground, can be allocated specifically to away fans. It is a fairly steep, old fashioned with few facilities. The ground may been completely bypassed by modernity, but the atmosphere is good and the home fans in the covered end, behind the goal kept up a non stop barrage of singing throughout the half that Gravesend were attacking it'. |
| Where To Drink? |
| Inside the ground is a comfortable Club House which is popular with both home and away fans alike. However, it may be advisable to check before entering the ground, whether segregation is in place, as if so, then as an away supporter you may not be able to gain access to it. Otherwise, next to the ground is 'The Plough' pub. |

| How To Get There And Where To Park |
| First thing to note is that the ground is
in Northfleet. From the M25 (South): Leave the M25 at Junction 2 and take the A2 towards Gillingham. Then take the B262 towards Stone/Greenhithe. At the end of the B262 turn right onto the A226 towards Northfleet & Gravesend. Keep on this road until you reach the ground on your left. From the
M25 (North) - Dartford Bridge: |
| By Train |
| The nearest station to the ground is Northfleet, which is only a few minutes walk away from the ground. The station is served by trains from London Bridge & Charing Cross. Just come straight out of the station and turn left at the top of the road. The ground can be then seen down on the right. |

| Hotel Accommodation |
| If you require hotel accommodation in the area then first try a hotel booking service provided by Football Hotels who are powered by Activehotels, who specialise in locating accommodation near or within a short travelling distance of the football ground. They also have the added advantage over some other hotel booking services that you pay on departure.
