The Priestfield Stadium:

Away fans are housed in part of the Brian Moore Stand where around 1,500 supporters can be accommodated. Like last season the stand is of the temporary variety i.e. the type that you would see around the 18th hole at the British Open Golf Championship, although it is of a good size and height, plus the views of the playing action are fine. Unlike most temporary stands though the facilities are surprisingly good, being of a permanent nature behind the stand. However it is uncovered so be prepared to get wet!


Layout


Pubs:

The ground is walkable from the town centre, where there are a fair few pubs to be found. 'The Ship' public house on the Lower Rainham Road is recommended although away fans should avoid 'The Cricketers' in Sturdee Avenue. The best bet for a good welcome and free bar snacks will be the Livingstone Arms where most Millers will be supping on Saturday, it's located only five minutes from the away end.
