Telford United actually play in Wellington so if you are travelling by train get off at Welllington. A nice 15 minute walk to the ground.
Bucks Head Stadium was given a facelift a while ago and is now an impressive non- league ground. Finished in 2003, the capacity ia 6300 with 2200 of that seated. What I liked about it was that both ends are terraced. Disabled access can ve found next to the club shop.
Car park facilities are available at the ground at a reasonable price.

History (from Wikipedia)
New Bucks Head is a stadium in Wellington, Shropshire, England and the home of Conference National football club A.F.C. Telford United. It was originally built for Telford United to play at before they went bankrupt. The stadium is on the same site as the original Bucks Head, which had been home to Telford United and Wellington Town for over a century. The stadium was completed in 2003, and has a capacity of 6,300. It is covered on three out of four sides. The stadium lease and assets are currently held by Telford and Wrekin Council.
The stadium regularly hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. reserve fixtures. When Steven Gerrard returned from injury in the Liverpool Reserves it attracted one of the biggest crowds the stadium has ever seen.[1] The stadium played host to the National youth lions cup final in the 2006–07 season involving Sandiacre Town and Milton United.[citation needed] It has also been used for international football, hosting England U16's against Wales U16's in the Victory Shield.
