The Walks Stadium

For most matches, fans are not segregated at the Walks Stadium. If they are, then away fans are housed on the Mick Wright Terrace at one end of the stadium.

Additionally, a limited number of seats are usually available to visiting supporters in the Grandstand.

The Mick Wright Terrace is an open one and is only a few steps high. Around a third of the North Terrace is also given to away fans, and at least it is covered and allows visitors to make themselves heard.

This terrace is shared with home supporters, with the obligatory gap in between, further helping the atmosphere. Usually, beside the Grandstand, there is a BBQ area selling burgers and hot dogs.

The Walks Stadium is a classic-looking football ground, which is of a good size for this level. Dating back to 1879, it is one of the oldest grounds in the country.

On one side is the Grandstand. Although it only runs for around 2/3rds of the length of the pitch, straddling the halfway line, it is of a good size and looks quite imposing. This covered stand has a single tier of 1,200 seats, which are raised above pitch level, meaning that you have to climb a small set of stairs to enter it.

Originally opened in 1956, the stand contains the club facilities, such as the dressing rooms, press area, a clubhouse bar, cafe and club shop. It is set back a bit from the side of the pitch, as there is a spectator standing area in front, as well as the team dugouts. It has windshields on either side as well as s couple of supporting pillars at the front.

Opposite is a small covered terrace that runs for the entire length of the pitch. Although it has many supporting pillars running along the front and along the middle, it normally houses the more vocal elements of the local support. It is around 12 steps high.

Both ends are open to the elements and are small terraces. The larger of these is at the West end of the stadium. Called the Tennyson Road End, it has a few elevated steps of the terrace, the highest of which is quite broad. For some reason, this terrace is set back from the pitch and converges at an angle in the middle.

The ground has a set of four tall modern floodlights, two of which are on each side. Unusually, they are not at each corner, but along the side of the pitch, one on each side of the Grandstand and two opposite in front of the North Terrace.

Over the past five years, infrastructure work has taken place across the stadium to ensure it is of the required standard for the National League. Better toilet facilities have been installed, as have new turnstiles and refreshment areas.

In 2022, the stadium was approved to host concerts.

By train

King’s Lynn Railway Station is a 5-10 minute walk away from the ground. It is served by trains from London King’s Cross.

On exiting the station, turn left and where you see a church in front of you (and where the road bends around to the right), take the pathway around to the left and walk through the park. You will soon see the ground over on your right.

By car

At the roundabout junction of the A17 and A47, take the turn off towards West Lynn (where you can see a Shell Garage and a McDonald’s outlet). Then take the right-hand turn towards South Lynn/East Coast Business Park.

After around one mile, you will reach a roundabout, where you take the second exit onto Vancouver Avenue (signposted Gaywood/Lynnswood). Continue straight on this road as it becomes Tennyson Road, and you will reach the ground on your left.

There is no car parking available at the ground for visiting supporters; however, there is plenty of street parking available in the local area.

King’s Lynn Town is an non-league football club that play in the National League North. With that, the club is known to have some rivals in Norfolk, England, where they are based. Let’s take a look at some notable rivals.

Boston United

Boston United are currently the main rivals of King’s Lynn Town. A clash between the two football clubs is popularly known as A47 derby due to the road that links the two towns in which they are based.

However, there have only a been a few meetings between these teams in recent years. Between December 2019 and January 2024, King’s Lynn Town and Boston United met six times. No draw was recorded in that period, during which four wins went to King’s Lynn Town and two victories in favour of Boston United.

Other rivals

Peterborough Sports and Lowestoft Town are other notable rivals of King’s Lynn Town. However, these are not as pronounced as the rivalry with Boston United.

King’s Lynn Town tickets are available online, on the club’s website, and at the club shop.
