Vicarage Road - Saracens
Four stands surround the ground, which is built on a natural amphitheatre. Thus the pitch is below street level and fans entering at the Vicarage Road end have to walk down to their seats. The oldest stand is on the East side. It is known as the Main Stand and primarily consists of two parts - the original 1922 stand and a 1969 extension. Together with some uncovered seats capacity on this side of the ground was around 5,500 but since 2005 this has been reduced for safety reasons with much of the older structure closed.

Food available in the ground
Home fans can purchase alcohol in the ground before the game and at half time although you are not allowed to drink whilst in view of the pitch. There is no alcohol available to away fans.
There is plenty of car parking in Watford Town Centre. Fans are advised to use Church, Sutton, Gade and Palace Charter Car Parks which are sign posted from the Ring Road. There is virtually no street parking around Vicarage Road, as local streets are blocked by the police and side streets fill up very quickly with home traffic.
16 elevated positions in Vicarage Road Stand, 24 pitch level in the Rookery Stand. Away allocation of 6 in Rookery Stand. Pitch side positions partially covered, helpers behind in all cases.
