Taylors Avenue, Football stadium in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland.
Taylors Avenue is a football stadium in Carrickfergus with covered stands and open terracing areas that hold around 5000 spectators. The ground features a natural grass pitch and hosts matches and events throughout the year.
The site was originally known as Barn Field and served as home to Barn F.C. from 1889 until 1928. Carrick Rangers took over the ground in 1952 and established it as their main home.
The ground serves as the local hub where football supporters gather to watch Carrick Rangers play throughout the year. The stands and terraces are where community members meet and share their passion for the team and the sport.
The stadium is easily accessible from the town center and has facilities for spectators along with parking spaces nearby. Match days can get busy, so arriving early helps you find a good spot and avoid crowds.
The pitch features natural grass as a result of an unexpected change in construction plans when ground subsidence prevented the installation of artificial turf. This decision preserved the ground's traditional character and gives it an authentic playing surface.
