What Deepdale looked like in its prime.

A compact rectangular football bowl around a natural grass pitch, bounded on four sides by separately named stands. The Sir Tom Finney Stand runs along one touchline and has tiered spectator levels with press and hospitality areas; the Bill Shankly Kop sits behind a goal with a steep fan slope and a large screen on its roof; the Alan Kelly Town End occupies the opposite goal end and the Invincibles Pavilion contains executive boxes and a restaurant overlooking the pitch.
