Ewen Fields, Football stadium in Hyde, England
Ewen Fields is a football stadium in Hyde with five covered stands including the Main Stand, Scrattin Shed, Tinker's Passage End, Leigh Street Stand, and Walker Lane End. The ground holds 4,073 spectators with 530 seats and contains dressing rooms, a board room, sponsors lounge, and refreshment facilities.
The stadium opened in 1885 and has served as home to Hyde United FC throughout its history. It has also hosted reserve matches for both Manchester City and Manchester United over the years.
The venue underwent a color shift from traditional red to blue during a partnership with Manchester City, then returned to red through community efforts. This transformation reflects how deeply supporters and the local community identify with their team.
The ground has dedicated areas for visiting supporters and offers a compact setup with limited seat availability. Planning ahead is helpful given the relatively small capacity.
The venue gained attention by hosting one of the last FA Cup qualifier matches on artificial turf in 1994 when Hyde United faced Darlington. This event occurred during a transition period for artificial surfaces in English football.
