Exeter City travel to Salford City on Saturday in search for another three points. For those travelling to Greater Manchester, here's an away guide to the Peninsula Stadium
The Ground
Stadium
- Name: Peninsula Stadium
- Capacity: 5,108
- Year opened: 1979
- Record Attendance: 4,518 (v Leeds United, League Cup 1st Round, 13th August 2019)

Moor Lane has had some radical developments in the last six years and has been well documented in the BBC Documentary Class of ’92: Out of Their League. The capacity grew from a humble 1,600 to now over 5,000.
In October 2017, Sir Alex Ferguson re-opened the now sponsored Peninsular Stadium and in 2019 the ground hosted its first C-team international when England took on Wales.
City took nearly 700 fans to the ground on our inaugural visit in 2019. We have been provided with 416 tickets in advance in the East Stand terrace and North Stand Block B (216 seated and 200 standing).
- Adults: £15
- Concessions (16-21 and 60+): £10
- Under-16s: £5
- Under-5s: Admitted Free*
Wheelchair and carer tickets available from Exeter City Club Shop Reception.
*Please note for under-5s no ticket is required unless you require a seat for the child when a charge of £5 will be made.
All collections from Exeter City Club Shop Reception between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.
Any not collected by 12pm on the day before the game will be sent with the supporters coach for collection at Salford before game.

Please park responsibly and be considerate of neighbours when arriving at or leaving the ground.

Pubs and matchday refreshment:
Despite being in a residential area, there are little pubs around the vicinity of the ground and its location away from both Manchester and Salford City centre’s make it frustrating to catch a last-minute pint without dashing for a taxi.
That said, The Ammies offer drinks and refreshments in the away end, though the clubhouse is home supporters only.
Manchester Piccadilly has many bars around the area being close to Manchester City central so if you’re coming by train, a popular spot for away fans is the bar inside the station before their next transfer.
Your support has been second to none so far this season and we can’t wait to see you all again on the road at Salford. As always, we wish the safest travels to everyone on their way up to Greater Manchester and we’ll see you there for another enticing League fixture.
