Our main stand has 250 seats for supporters. We don't charge for seating and operate a "first come, first seated" policy. The stand also has space for a further 1,000 standing fans. The rest of the ground has concrete walkways and can accommodate another 2,000 plus.

An excellent food kiosk is provided near the players' changing rooms where Dave and his dedicated team of helpers will serve you a variety of hot and cold drinks and one of his famous burgers. A further refreshment kiosk is planned and may be available when you visit.

The bar

Our bar has been voted "the best in the League" and we are the only football club to appear in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Visiting supporters are Grays Athletic club members for the day of their visit. The bar has big screen viewing, plus 2 TV's, darts board, pool tables, fruit machines, games machines and a juke box. You can even watch a game of 5-a-side football from the viewing area onto our indoor astroturf pitch before the match starts.
