[edit] Stands
[edit] West Stand
Broadfield Stadium - West stand
The West Stand is the main stand, running two thirds of the length of the pitch. It contains club offices, merchandise shop, changing rooms and hospitality. It is also the only stand in the stadium to contain seats with the north end of the stand available to away supporters.It is raised above pitch level meaning that fans have to climb a small flight of stairs at the front to enter the seated area.
[edit] North and South Stands
Two identical small roofed terraces. The south stand contains the most vocal home support and the north stand is allocated to away fans. Both stands curve around the corners of the pitch to meet up with the west stand.
[edit] East Stand
This is a small uncovered terrace that runs the length of the pitch and is for home supporters. The club is proposing to build a replacement East Stand, which would increase capacity at the stadium by 2,151 seats. The plans include new turnstile blocks, toilets and concession areas as well as improved floodlighting. If planning permission is granted work should be finished by February 2012.[2]
[edit] Location
The Stadium is located next to a roundabout about a mile from Crawley railway station and two miles from Three Bridges railway station, which is on the Brighton Main Line. The roundabout has a large white and red football in the centre and is at the end of the Brighton Road, which is easy to find from junction eleven on the M23 motorway
