Away fans are accommodated on the 1,500 capacity uncovered away terrace (clearly signposted at the stadium). A small number (approx 200-400) seats are usually made available for away supporters in the Cowlin (East) Stand.
The only alcohol on sale at the ground to the 'ordinary' supporter is a fenced off Marquee Bar (known officially as the Hospitality Marquee, but more locally as The Beer Tent), situated on the corner of the Main Stand and the Blackthorn Stand (home terrace). It was home fans only, but the policy has changed. For the majority of matches, away fans are allowed in the tent. The exceptions are not well defined, but typically would include local derbies, capacity games, or those involving teams that tend to sell out the away end, or carry a perceived 'reputation' (i.e. that your club's fans were a bit lairy in the 1970s). Most of the time you'll get let in, but if you fit into any of the above categories, don't be too surprised or offended if you get turned away.
