AWAY SUPPORTERS GUIDE

Premier League Away Supporters Guide

Where visiting fans sit at every EPL stadium

The Premier League guarantees away supporters at least 3,000 tickets per match — and at most grounds the experience ranges from memorable to unforgettable. Whether you're climbing into the upper tier at the Emirates, crammed into the Shed End corner at Stamford Bridge, or staring down at Dortmund's Yellow Wall from Signal Iduna Park's south upper (wrong league, but the point stands), EPL away days have a character and ritual all their own. The cards below list the designated away end at every Premier League club, estimated allocation, and practical tips for the traveling supporter.

Away section locations can vary by match category. High-risk fixtures may reduce or relocate away allocations. Confirm with the host club before attending.

Arsenal
Emirates Stadium London, England
South East corner, lower tier (blocks 20–23)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Away fans in the lower tier of the South East corner. Good sightlines across the pitch. Concourse facilities are excellent — Emirates is one of the more comfortable away ends in the PL. Book early; Arsenal games sell out quickly.

Aston Villa
Villa Park Birmingham, England
Doug Ellis Stand (North Stand), upper and lower tiers
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Historic ground (1874). Away fans housed in the Doug Ellis Stand. Good views from upper tier, tighter from lower. The Holte End home section is famously loud. Restricted for high-risk matches. Pub options limited directly around the ground — head into Birmingham city centre.

Bournemouth
Vitality Stadium Bournemouth, England
East Stand (blocks 21–24)
Est. ~1,300–2,000 allocation

One of the smallest grounds in the PL — capacity under 12,000. Away fans in a corner of the East Stand (blocks 21–24), converted to safe standing in 2024. Close to the pitch; intimate atmosphere. No away pub nearby; police escort often in effect from town centre. Away allocation can be reduced for high-category matches.

Brentford
Gtech Community Stadium Brentford, London
East Stand upper tier (away end behind goal)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Modern purpose-built stadium opened 2020. Away fans in the upper east tier with excellent sightlines. Easy public transport access (Kew Bridge / South Ealing tube). Good food and drink facilities. One of the better away matchday experiences in London.

Brighton & Hove Albion
Amex Stadium Brighton, England
South Stand, lower tier (blocks S1B–S1F)
Est. ~3,300 allocation

Modern ground opened 2011. Away section is the South Stand lower tier (blocks S1B–S1F), accessed via turnstiles 28–29. Excellent sightlines with padded seats and no obstructing pillars. Train from Brighton station to Falmer (2 mins) drops you outside the ground. No designated away pub but the seafront in Brighton is an ideal pre-match base.

Chelsea
Stamford Bridge London, England
Shed End lower tier (SW corner + Matthew Harding Lower overlap)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Compact historic ground (1877). Away fans squeezed into the Shed End lower and part of the Matthew Harding lower. Can feel cramped; views vary by seat — avoid far ends of the allocation. Tube to Fulham Broadway. Atmosphere generally good. Chelsea under stadium redevelopment — check current configuration before attending.

Crystal Palace
Selhurst Park London, England
Arthur Wait Stand (south corner, away allocation)
Est. ~2,500–3,000 allocation

One of the most atmospheric old grounds in England. The Holmesdale Road End home section creates a wall of noise. Away fans in the Arthur Wait Stand corner — decent views but some restricted sightlines. Train to Norwood Junction or Selhurst. Pubs in the area vary by match classification.

Everton
Everton Stadium (Bramley-Moore Dock) Liverpool, England
Away end (southeast stand)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Everton opened their new 52,888-seat stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for the 2025–26 season, ending 133 years at Goodison Park. Away section in the southeast stand. Waterfront location on the Mersey. Pre-match access and pub scene still developing around the new site — check Everton's official travel guidance.

Fulham
Craven Cottage London, England
Putney End (away stand, behind south goal)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

One of English football's most picturesque grounds, beside the Thames. Putney End was expanded in the Riverside Stand redevelopment. Away fans in upper and lower sections behind the goal. Tube to Putney Bridge. Great pre-match options along the river and in Putney High Street.

Ipswich Town
Portman Road Ipswich, England
Cobbold Stand (east stand, away allocation)
Est. ~2,000–3,000 allocation

Historic ground in the heart of Ipswich. Away fans in the Cobbold Stand; allocation can be generous (up to 5,000 in parts of the stand). Short walk from Ipswich station. Friendly matchday atmosphere; one of the more welcoming PL away days. Town centre pubs accessible to away supporters.

Leicester City
King Power Stadium Leicester, England
Away Stand (east end, Sections AW1–AW5)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Modern stadium (2002) with good facilities. Away fans in the full east stand behind the goal. Good sightlines and concourse space. 10-minute walk from Leicester railway station. City centre pubs available pre-match; some designated away-friendly options near the ground.

Liverpool
Anfield Liverpool, England
Anfield Road End, lower tier (away allocation)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

One of the most legendary grounds in world football. Away fans in the Anfield Road lower — surrounded by home fans in the upper tier. The Kop creates an overwhelming atmosphere; expect relentless noise. Away pubs strictly controlled; police escort from designated meeting points. Book accommodation well in advance for any Liverpool match.

Manchester City
Etihad Stadium Manchester, England
South Stand, all three tiers (blocks 113–114, 213–214, 313–314)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Largest PL ground capacity (53,400). Away fans across all three tiers of the South Stand (lower 113–114, middle 213–214, upper 313–314) — can expand to blocks 115/215/315 for cup matches. Easy Metrolink tram access from Manchester Piccadilly (Etihad Campus stop). Excellent concourse facilities. Atmosphere has improved significantly in recent seasons but can still feel sterile for away supporters.

Manchester United
Old Trafford Manchester, England
South East corner (block E132 lower, blocks E230–E232 upper)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

The Theatre of Dreams — 74,000-seat capacity. Away fans in the South East corner where the East Stand meets the South Stand — one lower block (E132) and three upper blocks (E230–E232), including 2,500 safe standing spaces. Very steep elevation can be dizzying. Metrolink to Old Trafford (Warwick Road). Away pubs strictly policed; designated away pub changes season to season — check your club's travel guide. High-demand fixture; allocation sells out immediately.

Newcastle United
St. James' Park Newcastle upon Tyne, England
Leazes End upper tier (Level 7, blocks L7F–L7M)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

52,000-seat fortress in the city centre — one of England's loudest grounds. Away fans are in the Leazes End upper tier (Level 7) — the only PL away section not at pitch level. Expect a 14-flight climb but panoramic views. Metro to St. James stop exits directly outside the ground. Away supporters are separated and escorted; check travel guidance from your club.

Nottingham Forest
City Ground Nottingham, England
Bridgford Stand (south end, away allocation)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Beautifully located beside the Trent. Bridgford Stand (away end) is compact and steep — good atmosphere. Short walk across Trent Bridge from the city centre and Nottingham station. Pubs on the south side of the river often available to away fans. Electric atmosphere; City Ground is one of the better new-money PL away days.

Southampton
St. Mary's Stadium Southampton, England
Chapel Stand (north end, away section)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Modern purpose-built ground (2001) near the waterfront. Away fans in the Chapel Stand. Good standard sightlines. Walk from Southampton Central station (~15 min). Atmosphere inconsistent but can be loud for big fixtures. City centre pubs accessible; some designated away-friendly bars near the docks.

Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium London, England
North-East corner, lower tier (blocks 114–118, plus block 234)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Brand new (2019) — arguably the best stadium in England. Away fans in the North-East corner lower tier (blocks 114–118) with excellent unobstructed sightlines. Access via Entrances 11–12 from Worcester Avenue. Premium food, craft beer, and facilities. White Hart Lane tube (Piccadilly line) or Seven Sisters. Even in the away end the matchday experience is outstanding. One of the top away grounds in the PL.

West Ham United
London Stadium London, England
Sir Trevor Brooking Stand (South Stand), southwest section (blocks 117–120 lower, 218–220 upper)
Est. ~2,800–3,000 allocation

Former Olympic stadium — converted for football in 2016. Away fans in the southwest corner of the Sir Trevor Brooking Stand across both lower (117–120) and upper (218–220) tiers. Entry via turnstile D (Bridge 4). The main criticism: vast athletics track between fans and pitch creates poor atmosphere and distant sightlines. Stratford station (Jubilee/Elizabeth line) is adjacent. Facilities are good; atmosphere is not — rated one of the worst PL away experiences by traveling fans.

Wolverhampton Wanderers
Molineux Stadium Wolverhampton, England
Steve Bull Stand (south end, away allocation, lower and upper tiers)
Est. ~3,000 allocation

Historic ground (1889) undergoing ongoing expansion. Away fans in the Steve Bull Stand lower — good close-to-pitch views. Short walk from Wolverhampton station. City centre pubs available; check away travel guidance for permitted venues. South Bank home section opposite creates a decent atmosphere.

Away section locations and allocations can change between seasons. Derby matches (e.g. Manchester Derby, North London Derby, Merseyside Derby) are the highest-category fixtures and may have reduced or relocated away sections. Always confirm current away arrangements with your club's official supporters trust or the host club before purchasing tickets.
