Sandygate Road

Sandygate Road is a football stadium in Crosspool with a natural grass surface and three spectator areas arranged around the pitch. The venue has limited seating and is primarily used as home ground by Hallam FC.

The ground was established in 1804 and has been continuously used since its inception. In 1860, the first inter-club football match took place here, marking an important moment in the early development of the sport.

The ground holds deep meaning for Hallam FC and remains central to the club's identity and community ties. Visitors notice a close-knit atmosphere reflecting decades of local attachment to this modest venue.

The ground is accessible from three sides, making orientation straightforward for first-time visitors. The small capacity means it fills quickly, so arriving early is advisable, especially for notable matches.

The playing field has a natural slope that affects how teams must adapt their tactics during the match. Each side must contend with playing uphill during one half of the game.
