Sandygate Road, Football stadium in Crosspool, England.
Sandygate Road features a grass playing surface with three viewing areas: the Shed End, Main Stand, and Cricket Net End for spectator accommodation.
Established in 1804, this ground earned recognition from the Guinness Book of Records as the first football stadium in continuous use worldwide.
The stadium hosted the first inter-club football match on December 26, 1860, when Hallam Football Club competed against Sheffield Football Club.
The stadium maintains a capacity of 700 spectators, including 250 seated spaces, with entry points accessible from three sides of the grounds.
The playing field presents a natural slope where teams must adapt their strategy, playing uphill during one half of each match.
