The Terrace Blues Ground Guide
Stortfords Woodside Park ground is your typical new non-league ground. It is built in the middle of an industrial estate close to Stansted Airport. For those travelling by train, a taxi to the ground it probably the best option. Also, depending on what time of year you visit, the ground may be surrounded by cars as it is used by Stansted Airport.
Inside the ground itself and the main stand is nothing spectacular with less than three hundred seats, but it does provide a reasonable view of the action. The opposite side has a new seating area which had to be built to meet Conference South ground grading regulations.
Behind each goal is a small covered terrace. Nothing special but it is ok to create a bit of noise under. The Bishops also allow beer to be taken onto the terracing from the clubhouse, so get ready to finish the game in a less sober state than you started watching it in.
The clubhouse is situated under the main stand. It is quite small and its just as well that you can take your drinks outside!
Travelling to the ground
By Car: From M25 take M11 north to Cambridge. Exit M11 at J8 (note J8 has two exits, take the first signposted for Bishop's Stortford and Services). On the M11 roundabout take 2nd exit. In 200yds at roundabout take 1st exit. After about 400yds take first right (opposite golf club) into Industrial Estate and follow road to your right. The ground and car park (free) are straight ahead.
By Train: The ground is a good 20 minute walk from the station but there is a taxi-rank outside the booking office. If walking, on leaving the station building walk ahead and bear right, up the slope. Turn right, crossing the rail line to T junction. Turn left ('London Road') towards the traffic lights. At the lights turn right into 'Dunmow Road'. Keep going passed the 'Red Cow Pub', a general stores on your left, a Toyota garage and then a Land-Rover dealer on your left at a roundabout. Go straight on. At the next roundabout again go straight on. Next turning left is 'Woodside Industrial Park'. Turn left and follow the road to the right. Continue straight on and the ground is in front of you.
