This game will NOT be segregated.

Student (with NUS Card): £8
Under 18: £5

Car Parking
Car parking costs £3 when bought in advance and £5 when bought in cash or card on the day. We ask all supporters to either car-share or make use of our free shuttle double decker service.
Season ticket holders get free parking when their ticket is shown at the gate, and blue badge holders must email info@leamingtonfc.co.uk to reserve a free space, as these are limited.

Facilities
Your Co-op Community Stadium has facilities to please everyone! There is a burger van in the tunnel corner of the ground, serving hot food and drinks with cash & card accepted.
If you don’t feel like hot food but want something to snack on, then Debbie’s Sweet Shop is the place to go. Hot drinks and cold snacks (including a wide selection of sweets) are all available from the sweet shop which you can find at the Harbury Lane End side of the ground, but please note this is cash only.
Alcohol can be consumed on the terraces at our ground, and you can purchase it from our clubhouse which is situated in between the Harbury Lane End stand and Debbie’s Sweet Shop.
The ground is covered on three of the four sides, as you walk in up from the turnstiles the covered Harbury Lane End behind the goal will be on your right. Straight ahead of you is the joint Main Stand and Car Park Terrace on the west side of the ground, on the Sheepside side of the ground sits the Mick Brady Stand, in honour of our Life President who passed away in 2020 and the North Bank behind the goal is the uncovered side.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse can be used by both sets of fans and boasts a wide range of drinks, including local Warwickshire Church Farm Brewery products. Our bar has live sports, and the players will be present after the game to mix with fans in the bar and our post match presentations.
Both Leamington and Darlington fans are welcome in the bar.

As well as our free shuttle, the 665 Stagecoach bus runs from the town to the ground. The outbound route leaves Upper Parade Stand K at 14:10 and reaches Your Co-op Community Stadium at 14:25. The inbound route leaves opposite Your Co-op Community Stadium at 17:17 and reaches Upper Parade at 17:34.

Buckets will be located just past the turnstiles.
