15/11/22 Berks & Bucks Cup Maidenhead United 1-1 Slough Town. Entry £10, no programme, £3.50 Chips and curry sauce. I like this ground very much as it has lots of character. There are terraced at either end behind the goals. Both ends are covered. The terrace opposite Bell Street is only partially covered. There is a terrace covering half the pitch on the side of the dugouts but this is open to the elements. Opposite this is the only stand that has seating and this is fully covered. There is also an executive lounge portacabin. Parking can be found in some of the multi storey car parks. I went to park in the railway station but this has been revamped with no public parking available except for disabled. I spotted a pop up car park just at the end of Bell Street. It was £4 for 4 hours and paid by using the Ringo App. If you want to visit York Road better make it quick as the Magpies are looking to move.

A nice, really old football ground with good, reasonably priced food and drink. Parking is a shortish walk away in the town centre and the away end entrance is a further walk to the right of the main entrance. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the home support was noisy - which was good to hear as a lot of home crowds are quiet!

History (from Wikipedia)
The ground was initially the home of Maidenhead Cricket Club and it was with their kind permission that shortly after the football club began in 1870, Maidenhead played their first match at York Road on 16 February 1871 against Marlow. The Magpies have continued to play home matches here, without a break, to the present day.
The current capacity of the ground is 4,500 (550 seated) and holds an "A" grading. The club's record attendance is 7,989 for the 1936 FA Amateur Cup quarter-final against Southall. A further 2,000 spectators are estimated to have watched the match from the adjacent railway embankment. The ground record attendance was set on Easter Monday 1947 when 8,277 people paid total receipts of £494 to watch the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup Final between Slough Town and Wycombe Wanderers.
The ground facilitates fans in a mixture of covered all-seater stands, covered and uncovered traditional terraces and flat concrete by the side of the pitch. As well as the normal facilities for lower-league football, the ground hosts Stripes Bar which can be hired out for functions. The ground is located just a few minutes walk away from the town centre and from Maidenhead railway station.
