Beer and Grub: Stay clear of the Brook Green near the ground (mainly due to the area) and you will only get in the Centre Spot Social Club with a Supporters Association Membership Card. Good watering holes are in the town centre and are within walking distance. Your can park for free at The Victoria on Victoria Road (follow Victoria Street from the back of the Grandstand). Warning though it is over a 10 minute steep walk. In Sidwell Street the Duke of York and Printers (Fiddlers) Pie come recommended. For grub you have to sample the pies and pasties from the Cornish Pasty Co on Queens Street located just off the pedestrianised area.
Cash Machines: Usual banks in the town centre.

 

 

Ground Information

General: Since the last time we were in this Division St James Park has undergone redevelopment with an all seated stand replacing the Cowshed on one side of the pitch and the home Big Bank has been replaced with a new terrace. Unfortunately the improvements did not include a roof for the St James Road end and that means the away terracing remains uncovered. It it is raining you might as well pay the extra £2.00 to sit in the old, but covered Grandstand.
Ticket Office: 01392 254073
Seats: Grandstand Block A - Adults £12.00, OAPs/Students £7.00, Under 16s £6.00 (300)
Standing: St James Road End - Adults £10.00, OAPs/Students £7.00, Under 16's £2.00 (1,200)
Disabled Supporters: Free for the disabled with the helper paying £2.00
