Crewe Alexandra – Alexandra Stadium (Gresty Road)

The Alexandra Stadium is all-seater, with a capacity of just over 10,000. It was built in 1906 and redeveloped from the 1990s onwards. The 2000 opening of the £5.5 million Air Products Stand, with seating capacity for 6,776 greatly changed the small, homely feel of the ground. The other three stands are covered and all-seater- but substantially smaller.

The newest of these smaller stands is the AB Nutrition Stand (previously known as the Gresty Road End), which is the home end of the ground. This replaced an open terrace and seats around 900. Opposite is the Wulvern Homes Stand, which was previously known as the Railway End. This has some executive boxes at the rear, but the seating area is only opened for the “higher profile” games. Away fans are housed in the Blue Bell BMW Stand at the side of the ground opposite the Air Products Stand.
