What makes it special

Pick one, or tap a label on the ground.

On matchday

Visiting captains lay a bouquet at the bust of Pichichi on their first visit, a ritual older than the 2013 ground. Since 2022 the Lower North Stand is a singing section of about 4,000 members, with safe-standing seats so they can cheer on their feet.
