Ground Profile

When it opened its doors for the start of the 1995-96 season, it was the biggest new football stadium to be built since the war and the first stadium in the country to be built in line with the Taylor Report. Its name - chosen by the fans themselves - incorporated the name of the club's new sponsors - The Cellnet Riverside Stadium. Another 5,000 seats were added in the summer of 1998 with the £5 million extensions to the West Stand, and the club has since received permission to add another 7,000 seats, although plans are at an early stage. There's also been a slight name change to The BT Cellnet Riverside Stadium.
