Away fans at the Jakemans Community Stadium sit on the right-hand side of the East Stand down one side of the pitch. This stand is opposite the dugouts and the views from the away end are very good as you would expect with a new stadium. Fans in this area have exclusive access to their own snack bar and toilets.
It is anticipated that when the South Stand project is completed, the away fans will move there.
