The Coach and Horses Ground, currently known as the Bright Finance Stadium for sponsorship purposes (and often fondly referred to as the Stadium of Bright in a take-off of Sunderland's Stadium of Light),[1] is a football ground, and home to the oldest football club in the world, Sheffield F.C..
Located on land to the rear of the Coach and Horses pub (from which it gets its name), it is in the town of Dronfield just south of Sheffield. It has a capacity of 1,200.
Sheffield bought the ground and the adjoining pub in 2001,[2] the only time they have owned their own ground in their 150-year history. Until 2001 the pub's football team played on the ground.
