Moor Lane, Football stadium in Kersal, Salford, England.
Moor Lane is a football stadium in Kersal, a district of Salford in England, with four covered stands offering space for over five thousand spectators. The pitch itself is rectangular and surrounded by seating on all sides, with the main stand running along the east side.
The grounds served as a venue for rugby until the late 1960s before a football team moved in during the late seventies. Redevelopment of the stadium took place years later, bringing modern facilities and expanded seating.
The Peninsula Stadium name comes from a partnership with a local sponsor who coined the term in recent years and made it widely known across the area. Visitors notice the influence of the fan community on the grounds, with supporters regularly displaying flags and scarves in club colors throughout the stands.
Visitors reach the stadium by several bus routes from central Manchester, though street parking tends to fill up on match days. It helps to arrive early if you plan to park on nearby roads, or consider public transport instead.
The floodlights display motifs in their supports that recall the football club crest and become particularly visible at night. This design makes the lighting a recognizable feature that goes beyond its purely functional role.
