The Ground
On one side of the ground is an old looking Grandstand. It is all seated, covered and has windshields to either side. However, it is in size about half the length of the pitch and sits astride the half way line. It has an unusual set of small floodlights aligned along the front of its roof. Opposite is the Flybe Stand which was opened in 2001 and replaced the former Cowshed Stand. This smart looking all seater stand is single tiered, with a row of executive boxes to the rear. At one end is the 'Big Bank' covered terrace, which was opened in February 2000 and replaced a former large open terrace. The other end is a very small open terrace, called the St James Road terrace. This end is given to away supporters. It is that small, you can clearly see a row of houses that sit beyond it. The St James terrace at one end of the ground, houses 1,200 fans and is open to the elements. It may be advisable (especially if the weather is not great) to try and get one of the 300 seats made available to away supporters in the old, but at least covered Stagecoach Grandstand.
How To Get There
Leave the M5 at Junction 30 and follow signs for Exeter city centre along Sidmouth Road (A379) and then onto Rydon Lane (A3015). Take the Sidmouth Road turn off (B3183) towards the city centre. Keep going towards the town centre as the road becomes Heavitree Road. On nearing the city centre take the fourth exit at the large roundabout onto Western Way. At the next roundabout take the second exit onto Old Tiverton Road, then turn left into St James Road for the ground. There is street parking, but quite a way from the ground as there is a local residents scheme in operation.
By Train
The nearest train station to the ground is St James Park, which is on a local line. This is only a short walk away from the ground. However, most fans will come into the mainline stations of Exeter St Davids or Exeter Central, from which you can either get a local train to St James Park, or head onto the ground by foot, via the town centre.
