The Ground: Eco Power stadium
Capacity: 15, 231 (all-seater)
Away Capacity: 3,344 ( can increase to 3,700 ) BCAFC allocated approx. 1,000
NOTE: AWAY TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT
Away fans are in the North Stand behind the goal.
Address: Stadium Way, Doncaster, DN4 5JW
Distance: 59 miles from BD8 ( approx. 1hr 16 mins drive
Parking:
There is parking for approximately 1,000 cars, but these tend to be pre booked. I have previously booked an online parking space for a few pounds, which is literally right next door to the stadium but for this visit, these are sold out. The next best option was to book a place through Your Parking Space , again for a few pounds. This is at the nearby ASDA which is about a 10 minute walk away.
As the stadium is set in a commercial / industrial area, there will probably be other parking places / street parking available on a match day, but I haven’t tried this.
Trains:
The train station is around a 30 min walk to the stadium. There is a bus service to the stadium approx. every 15 mins. ( First Bus ) No 53 from stand A3.
Nearby Pubs:
Officially listed for away fans as
Beefeater, White Rose Way, DN4 5PJ
The Railway Pub – West Street, DN1 3AA
The Leopard – 2 West Street, DN1 3AA
I’ve only ever been in The Leopard, which was full of BCAFC fans, and it’s a good venue, right next to the train station. Decent enough food available to accompany the drinks. Live football on tv . I was there for around noon ( for a 3 pm kick off ), and entry wasn’t an issue, but there was a Security presence as the kick off drew closer. It is a relatively good hike to the ground, though ( 30 min walk ), so be prepared, or make sure you have that Uber/taxi booked
Food and Drink at the Stadium
There is quite a large concourse there, and in previous years, BCAFC have filled this concourse, so it has been quite lively. By all accounts, a good range of diverse foods and drink are available.
Summary:
I’ve been there twice previously, and it’s a relatively nice modern stadium, but it does feel like many other nice, modern stadiums. This time ( April 2025 ), we have a much-reduced away allocation, but I’m sure the City faithful will make as much noise as possible.
If going by car, it’s quite simple to get to using the sat nav directions, and by train – just make sure to make those arrangements to get from the station to the stadium if you don’t want to walk.
