In the world of football, when you hear the words ‘St James Park’ you’re almost certainly going to think of Newcastle United. It is fair to say that this St James Park is not the same one, with the number of people that can fit in it barely taking up just one stand of the Newcastle-based football ground. With a capacity of 3,500, of which 300 are seats, you can see that it isn’t one of the biggest stadiums that is being used to hold matches in the lower leagues of the English football pyramid. That being said, it isn’t one of the smallest either, with the close nature of the supporters to the pitch allowing for an intimidating atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Brackley Town Football Club was established in 1890, making it older than big-hitters such as Liverpool. The club spent its early years in the Oxfordshire Senior League, moving over to the North Bucks & District League in the wake of the conclusion of the First World War. It is fair to say that the side has moved around the various divisions in the lower leagues of English football, enjoying numerous relative successes and also suffering a fair share of heartbreak. They have, for example, made the second round of the FA Cup several times, but it says something of Hereford’s level that the record transfer fee received is the \u00a32,000 that Oxford City paid for Phil Mason in 1998.<\/p>\n

St James Park Brackley Seating Plan and Where to Sit<\/h2>\r\n \r\n
<\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

It is not unreasonable to describe St James Park as basic in its nature. The Social Club building has a small seating area in front of it and is slightly to one side of the halfway line, with open standing areas either side of it. The Cricket Club End is, as the name suggests, towards the nearby cricket club and promises a small covered area behind one of the goals. This is the area that is given over to away fans when segregation is in effect. The South Bank is at the opposite end and offers a covered seating area with open terracing either side.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
