Stadium
Officially known since 2000 as The Alexandra Stadium, the ground occupied by the club since 1898 will likely always be known as "Gresty Road" to the fans.
The ground is composed of four stands:
- The Air Products Stand, (formerly the Railtrack Stand, before a change in sponsors), built in 2000 at a cost of £5.2 million. It accommodates 6,809 spectators, together with the club's office accommodation.

- The Wulvern Housing Stand, also known as the Railway End, accommodates 682 spectators.
- The Whitby Morrison Ice Cream Van Stand, formerly the Pop Side, accommodates 1,680 away spectators.
