Aldershot Town were formed after the collapse of the original Aldershot FC and have carried the town's football identity forward from the Recreation Ground. The Shots have experienced Football League and National League football, with a loyal Hampshire support and a traditional ground close to the town centre.
The EBB Stadium, traditionally known as the Recreation Ground, is one of the older and more characterful grounds in the National League. It sits close to Aldershot town centre and has a traditional lower-league feel, with a mixture of terracing, seated areas and older structures rather than a uniform modern bowl.
The East Bank is the most recognisable part of the ground and provides a large covered terrace, usually the main source of home noise. The South Stand runs along one side and provides seated accommodation, while other areas of the ground include older terrace and standing sections. The layout can feel a little uneven compared with newer stadiums, but that is also part of its appeal.
The ground is not the easiest for first-time visitors because of the different approaches to home and away sections, especially when segregation is in operation. For neutrals wanting the best view, seating in the South Stand is usually preferable. For atmosphere, the home support around the East Bank gives the stadium much of its identity.
Away supporters at Aldershot are normally placed towards the Redan Hill side of the ground, with access from the south side of the EBB Stadium rather than through the main High Street frontage. Previous away guidance has directed visiting fans to the Redan Hill area by the railway, with away terrace access via the designated away turnstiles.
The away set-up can include standing terrace accommodation and, for some fixtures, a small number of seats in the South Stand. The exact balance of standing and seating depends on the expected away following and the match arrangements. Away supporters should check their own club’s ticket details carefully, as some fixtures are advance ticket only or have specific sales cut-offs.
The away entrance is not always obvious for first-time visitors because it is effectively around the back of the ground compared with the main town-centre approach. Supporters arriving from the station or town centre should allow a few extra minutes to walk round to the correct entrance, particularly as the Redan Hill approach involves a different route from the home turnstiles.

Aldershot is a good traditional away day, but it is worth planning your approach to the ground. The railway station and town centre are both fairly convenient, but the away entrance is not simply the first entrance most supporters see from the High Street. Follow away supporter signage and allow enough time to reach Redan Hill or the designated away turnstiles.
The ground has older terracing and some areas with restricted or less comfortable views, so supporters who need seating should buy the correct ticket in advance. The best views are generally from seated areas rather than the open or older terrace sections, though the terrace gives the more traditional experience.
For bigger fixtures, local policing and stewarding can affect movement around the ground and nearby streets. Away supporters should check whether pubs, bars or food outlets are available to them for the specific fixture, because arrangements can change when segregation is stricter.
Aldershot Town tickets are normally available through the club’s online ticketing platform, with matchday prices sometimes higher than advance prices. Away ticket arrangements vary by fixture, and visiting fans should check whether tickets are being sold directly by Aldershot or through their own club.
Away fans should make sure they select the correct away standing or away seating option. For some fixtures, visiting supporters have been required to buy in advance, and sales may close before matchday. Cash turnstiles have been used for some matches in the past, but supporters should not rely on this unless confirmed for the fixture.
For neutrals, seated tickets in the South Stand are the best option for a clearer and more comfortable view. Home supporters looking for atmosphere will usually gravitate towards the East Bank. Away supporters who prefer cover or seating should act early, as seated away provision can be limited.
The EBB Stadium publishes formal ground regulations and supporters should expect normal football ground controls on entry. The club reserves the right of admission, and spectators may be searched by stewards, club officials or police.
Prohibited items include fireworks, flares, smoke canisters, laser devices, air horns, knives, bottles, glass vessels, cans, poles and any item that could be used as a weapon or compromise public safety. Supporters are also expected not to move between sections without permission, which is especially relevant at segregated fixtures.
The club’s regulations also prohibit entering the pitch or restricted areas, throwing objects, racist, homophobic or indecent chanting, threatening behaviour, smoking in no-smoking areas and persistent standing in seated areas. Large banners or musical instruments may need prior approval from the club.
Aldershot Town provide facilities for disabled supporters, but spaces are limited and supporters are strongly advised to contact the ticket office before travelling. Wheelchair users must book in advance, and one carer can usually be admitted free with the correct eligibility.
Away wheelchair supporters are advised to use the H5 entry gate, which is the gate nearest the bridge on the High Street. Wheelchair users are not permitted in terrace areas for health and safety reasons, so it is important that accessible spaces are arranged before matchday rather than trying to resolve it at the turnstile.
Disabled parking is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis in the Parsons Road public car park rather than inside the stadium. Ambulant disabled supporters can usually watch from any stand, but should carry relevant ID and check ticketing requirements in advance.
There does not appear to be a regular public stadium tour programme at the EBB Stadium. The ground is a traditional working football venue and is more likely to be experienced through matchdays, hospitality or club events than through scheduled tours.
Anyone specifically wanting a tour or group visit should contact Aldershot Town directly, but supporters should not expect routine bookable stadium tours to be available.
