Our Impressions of The Jungle

Both ends are standing, again with one covered (generally home fans) and one open The away fans usually congregate in the open end. The terracing is itself is steep, and the stands are close to the pitch so the viewing is OK and the atmosphere is good. Previously known by its name of Wheldon Road the Jungle and is named after the club?s sponsors.
