has rated Priestfield 3.5 out of 5.

trebor's review of Priestfield

The Stadium has three new stands built within 30 years and an open ended stand thats built on scaffold.
I sat in the Gordon Road stand and entry was on the corner of this and the Rainham End.

Location

Its situated in a residential are of Gillingham and is walkable from Gillingham. I travelled via Chatham which has a number of buses that pass near to the ground.
Bus 182 drops you off on the South of the ground with the stop near to The Cricketers Arms, it starts from Chatham Bus Station.
Trains from London to the Medway Towns are from St Pancras for Fast High Speed 1 and for slow services on Thameslink. Slow stoppers from Victoria.
Traditional tall floodlights are visible from a reasonable distance to guide you through.

View

Plenty of room although the roof leaked at the front of the Gordon Road Stand.
If it's warm and dry the temporary stand would be nice.

Facilities

Narrow entrances and a one way system in place that should be kept regardless of Covid as it speeds up entry and exit. Very hot water and good driers.

Food & Drink

Didn't use

Police & Stewards

Quite a lot of Police who didn't direct traffic but kept an eye out on fans. Barcode readers at entry and turnstiles.
Remember to charge your phone if the tickets are on it.

Atmosphere

Average but its better than an empty stadium, Lincoln were quite.
