Nigel Eady County Ground away guide

Swindon Town away end

Away fans are in the Arkells Stand, which holds 1,305, and Swindon open the Stratton Bank as an overflow when a bigger following travels: that holds another 2,179. How much of it you get depends on how they segregate the day. There are 10 wheelchair spaces for away fans at the front of the stand, under cover. The away end is cashless, so bring a card: the kiosk in the Arkells concourse does hot food and drinks until 15 minutes into the second half, and there is a bar for away fans by the away turnstiles, open from 12 o'clock on a Saturday and 6 o'clock for an evening game. Tesco round the corner from the Arkells has a free cash machine if you need one.
