The shape it held in its prime.

A compact, low‑profile football ground with single‑tier stands on three sides and seating filling the previously undeveloped south end; overhanging corrugated roofs supported on red steel trusses; red and white seating and concrete terraces; a rectangular natural‑grass pitch with visible mowing stripes and perimeter advertising hoardings; floodlight pylons rising above the stands and club crest painted on an outer gable. Scale is small for top‑flight football, with close sightlines from all stands.
