07/05/2011 Scunthorpe United 1-1 Portsmouth: Glanford Park Pictures

Here are some pictures from my trip to Glanford Park to watch Scunthorpe United play Pompey.

The stadium is easy to get to and although it was a long trip around 1,500 Pompey fans made the 250 mile journey.

Glanford Park is a modern, functional, no-thrills ground as you can see from the pictures. But it is perfectly adequate.

It is ideally located just off the M18 motorway on the edge of town and in the middle of a typical, modern retail park. Parking at the ground is cheap and plentiful. The ground holds around 10,000 fans (at a guess).

The stewards I encountered were all very friendly and helpful.

Although the pictures here were taken from outside of the ground inside it was interesting to observe an area of terracing behind one of the goals for the home fans to stand on.

All fans are close to the action.
