    De Montfort Park Complex
    De Montfort Park covers 22 acres and includes 3 full size pitches, 2 three-quarter size pitches, 3 half size pitches and an all weather surface pitch. The flagship of the complex is the Marston Stadium, a 4329 capacity purpose built football ground, also comprising gymnasium, sports injury clinic and a social club too.

    The East Terrace Stand is covered standing spectating with a capacity of 970. This is the Social Club end as the stand is adjoined to the Social Club.

    The Thomas Powers Stand is covered standing spectating with a capacity of 1095. Even though it is brand spanking new and named after the family which owned the land the Stadium is built on, it will still probably be known as 'the Shed'.

    West Stand
    Currently the West Side is hard standing for 586 spectators.

    This stand is due for completion for end 2005,6,78. (but we have heard that line before...) Once completed, the West Stand will be covered seated spectating with a capacity of 500, plus hard standing. The junior facilities and changing rooms have now been completed and are situated behind this end.

    Segregation
    Should the need arise for segregation then away fans will be allocated the West End of the ground. Sorry, but this means it's all uncovered hard standing with a capacity of 850. Also 80 seats will be allocated at the west side of the Main Stand, meaning a total segregation capacity of 930. The Away Turnstiles are only operable when segregation is in place.
