What’s It Like
Built not far from the site of the old ground (Millmoor), away fans are in the Mears Stand at one end of the AESSEAL New York Stadium, as it is known for sponsorship purposes.

There’s a range of pies available inside the ground, jumbo sausage rolls, hot dogs and cheeseburgers. Similar to the Liberty stadium, smokers are allowed outside for a smoke at half time.

There’s a large TV on the concourse showing Sky Sports. Fosters and John Smiths (pints), bottles of Heineken and Bulmers are sold plus red, white and rose wines.

Unlike most new stadiums, the New York Stadium is close to the town centre, so good transport links and a fair choice of hotels, eating and drinking places are nearby.
