Pontefract Collieries play their home games at The Harratts Nissan Stadium, Pontefract, sometimes known as Beechnut Lane due to the access road, situated near to the site of the former Prince of Wales Colliery. The stadium has previously been known as the White Rose Stadium, K-Profiles Stadium and Abstract Stadium due to sponsorship.
The ground is fully floodlit and holds approximately 1,200 spectators and comprises hard standing around the perimeter of the pitch. One stand behind the goals has a terrace with cover. The main stand holds the seating provision, with the seats obtained when Manchester City's old Maine Road ground was demolished.
