Like many sides plying their trade in the National League North and South, Worksop Town do not typically segregate home and away supporters, meaning that fans of the travelling team are free to roam the venue, which can host around 2,000 spectators.

Tickets can be purchased on the website of Workshop Town. Alternatively, you can secure your tickets for matches on the turnstiles on the day, with both cash and card payment options available.

 

January 2026 – Stadium works receive council approval

In January 2026, Bassetlaw District Council approved plans for four new stands at the Windsor Foodservice Stadium, with Worksop Town looking to mould their home into a venue compliant with National League North standards.

The Tigers are also seeking to improve the matchday experience for supporters in an attempt to attract the younger generation to the stadium, improving the long-term ambitions of the club as they head into an exciting future.

With average home attendances of around 900 people, Worksop are in the process of drawing more interest to the club as they climb the divisions, with reaching the EFL being the ultimate goal.

Plying their trade in regional football, Worksop Town do not possess a long roster of celebrity supporters, however, a high-profile sportsperson has been heavily involved with the club over the past decade.

Lee Westwood

Lee Westwood is an English professional golfer born in Workshop, with the 53-year-old being one of the only golfers to win tournaments on five different continents – Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and Oceania.

Westwood has financially supported the Tigers in the past, as such during the 2016-17 campaign, when the golf was the main shirt sponsor for both the men’s and women’s sides.

Given his schedule in golf, Westwood is not a regular visitor to the Windsor Foodservice Stadium, however, his impression at the club is a lasting one.

If club sources are to be believed, Worksop Town are the fourth-oldest football club in England, founded back in 1861.

Therefore, it is no surprise to see that the supporters of the Tigers have used that bit of trivia to come up with a song.

“Since 1861, we’ve only come to see the Tigers”

As well as that chant, there are also staples of English football heard in the terraces at Worksop, such as:

“We love you Worksop, we do,

Oh Worksop we love you”

There are currently no Tifos in the history of Worksop Town, however, with the club rising the divisions and improving the matchday experience, this could become a staple of the future at Sandy Lane.

The best seat in the house at Worksop Town undoubtedly arrives on the only side of the stadium which has seating.

However, a more hardcore fan would probably prefer to be behind the goal that their team is attacking towards, in which case you have got two options depending on the half.

With the new breaking in January 2026 of stand developments, the best view in the house is sure to change over the coming years.

Given that there is no segregation for most matches in the stadium, it is little surprise to find that there isn’t a designated pub for away supporters.

Here are a few pubs available to supporters in the area:

  • The Lockkeeper: Located next door to the football ground on Sandy Lane. This is the closest venue, offering a family-friendly atmosphere, carveries, and real ales.
  • The Mallard Inn: A little bit further away, this pub is a 15-minute walk from the stadium

Worksop Town have built the Tiger’s Bar, a sports bar and function site at the stadium, which recently won the Best Leisure Venue award ran by Best Bar None in 2026.

As well as what you’d expect from a bar, there are also regular meat raffles for supporters and visiting fans to get involved in.

Access via road is relatively simple, either coming off the A1 or M1 to the site of Worksop Town Football Club.

If travelling by train, Worksop train station is a simple 10-minute walk away, allowing easy access to the stadium for visiting supporters enjoying a classic English away day.

 

Rather vaguely, the Worksop Town official website does not give an exact capacity, only stating that the Windsor Foodservice Stadium can host around 2,000 spectators, possibly changing based on league regulations etc.

All of the 250 seats are based on the only seated area on the South of the venue.

There is not a designated away section at the ground.

Creswell Crags: An Archaeological museum in a limestone gorge, caves and fissures, with prehistoric tools and art. Definitely for the cultured football fans and not your typical matchday activity

Gulliver’s Valley Theme Park: Approximately a 30-minute drive away from Worksop, this family-focused theme park can provide thrills unlike those on the stands at a football match.

For 87 years between 1901 and 1988, Worksop Town played at their iconic Central Avenue home, before moving to Sandy Lane – their current home – in 1994.

Since then, the team has usually averaged attendances of around 800 to 900 supporters, but with news of a four-stand expansion arriving in 2026, the Tigers are set to eclipse their typical standards in the near future.

In 2005, ownership issues meant that Worksop momentarily lost custody of their home ground, meaning that they had to ground share with other clubs for a period of time.

  • Gainsborough Trinity: The two sides are separated by just 25 miles. This is considered Worksop’s biggest rivalry.
  • Retford United: Just down the A620, the two sides are rarely in the same division but often play each other in friendlies and cup fixtures.
  • Stocksbridge Park Steels: There is a history of heated clashes between Worksop and the Park Steels in league competition.

The record attendance for a home match in Worksop’s history is 8,741, set during an FA Cup Second Round clash against Chesterfield in 1925 at their former Central Avenue stadium.

The highest recorded attendance for the Windsor Foodservice Stadium came in the 2024-25 season with 2,032 fans, during the Premier Division Play-off Final at Sandy Lane.

Average attendances for Worksop currently sit around 800-900 spectators for regular season fixtures.

Here are the ticket prices for the 2025-26 season:

  • Adults £17
  • Concessions £11
  • U18’s £7
  • U12’s £3

All children must be supervised and accompanied by a responsible adult.

There does not seem to be dynamic pricing based on who Worksop are playing in a particular fixture.

You can purchase tickets online up until 11am on a matchday.
