Almost all matches at the Wham Stadium are pay on the day but you can check this in advance by checking the News section of the official website. You must buy a ticket before going through the turnstiles.

The Coppice End (closest to you as you arrive down the lane) is usually reserved for away supporters and offers uncovered standing, with visiting fans also often given the choice of covered seating in the Whinney Hill Stand (on the far side as you arrive).

If you want to join the home supporters, turnstiles in the HML Recycling Jack Barrett Main Stand are in the car park beyond Main Reception and the Stanley Store. The HML Recycling Jack Barrett Main Stand is an all-seater stand.

Beyond the turnstiles you will pass the Hospitality Lounge before reaching the William Dyer Electrical Stand (Clayton End), where the most vociferous Stanley supporters congregate. This stand offers standing.
