AFC FYLDE MAKE THEIR PITCH
The West Stand at
The view from the as yet undeveloped end
Mill Farm is very
much the focal
point of the stadium, for as well as
dressing
rooms
and club offices, it
contains a sports
bar, a Mediterranean restaurant, a
coffee shop and a
conference
and
banqueting suite.
The stand will
eventually be complemented by covered terraces on
the
remaining
three sides of the
ground, but at the
moment the far
end consists of flat standing only. The two sides that are covered possess identical roofs,
the front parts of which curve gently outwards, and seen from a certain angle have the
faint suggestion of art décor about them. The terraces within are steeply stepped and well
barriered, with grey brick toilet and refreshment blocks book-ending both of the structures.
Floodlighting at Mill Farm is a tale of two halves, with lamps being incorporating in the roof
of the main stand on one side, and opposite the stand mounted on four curved stalks,
which loom over the ground in a predatory fashion. As a nod to the club's humble origins
when they played at Coronation Road in Kirkham, the road that leads from the A585 to
Mill Farm has been named Coronation Way.
Triffid--like floodlight pylons
