Mark Alleyne Stand, Bristol: view, shade and what to expect
Mark Alleyne Stand curves around the north-eastern part of the County Ground, Bristol, between Jack Russell and the Graveney Stand, still called Mound in current accessibility directions. Its ordinary outdoor rows have an angled view across the field. The accessible viewing area is towards the Mound side, so name the viewing place as well as the stand when arranging tickets.

The view
Following the curve
Compare the block with the wicket on Gloucestershire’s ground map. Seats nearer Jack Russell have more of an end-on feel; moving towards Graveney brings you towards a side-on perspective. A higher row opens up the field view, while lower rows put boundary fielders closer.
Row A and accessible viewing
AccessAble records step-free level access to Row A, with steps to the other rows. The club separately identifies an accessible viewing area between Mark Alleyne and Mound. Arrange the right place and nearby companion seating with the ticket team; a standard Row A purchase is not the same booking as a designated wheelchair position.
An afternoon in the sun
The ordinary seating is uncovered. Mark Alleyne gets a mix of morning sun and shade and faces the afternoon sunshine. Take a hat, sun cream and a waterproof for the seated part of the day. For a long Championship visit, use the interval to refill water and stretch your legs on the hardstanding circuit.
