On one side of the ground is the Main Stand. It is a traditional looking stand that is covered and all seated. It only runs for about a third of the length of the pitch and straddles the half way line. The seated area is elevated above the pitch meaning that spectators have to climb a small set of stairs in front to access it. There are windshields to either side and the Club’s offices are located in the building behind. During 2007 a further 500 covered seats were installed next to this stand in front of the new Cambridgeshire County FA Headquarters building, which gives this side of the stadium a bit of an odd look. Opposite is another small seated stand which is covered and looks quite tidy. Both ends are virtually identical small covered terraces, that look to have been recently constructed. The ground is completed with a set of eight floodlights, four of which run down each side of the pitch. There is quite a lot of greenery to be seen around the perimeter of the ground, re-enforcing its rural look.
