It's South Shields On Saturday

A new ground for Hereford supporters on Saturday but it's a long way from Edgar Street.

The Bulls are off to South Shields FC who are second in the table and haven't dropped a point at home to date.

South Shields play their home games at 1st Cloud Arena (formerly known as Mariners Park and Filtrona Park in reference to the filter factory next door) situated on the Simonside Industrial Estate, South Shields.

Chairman Geoff Thompson bought the ground in 2015 and considerable improvements have been made since with three new stands erected and a new 3G facility installed adjacent to the main grass pitch.

In the summer of 2021 work began on a transformative new main stand at 1st Cloud Arena which would seat more than 900 supporters and include executive boxes, a new club shop, a bar, boardroom and more. The stand was fully opened in the summer of 2022. Further work at the ground included the introduction of new terraced areas behind each goal, the relaying of the surface around the pitch, extensive improvements to the pitch itself and the installation of a new pitchside perimeter fence.

​The stadium has a capacity of 4000. Average gate this season so far is 2163.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at: https://bookings.southshieldsfc.co.uk/packages/LZEmOKzmpW/e/glrGLYZ8do
