At a glance: Mike Procter Stand
The view
Blocks A and B
The two labels on the club map describe one stand, not two separate buildings. Moving along the boundary changes how squarely you look at the wicket. Lower rows bring boundary fielders closer, while higher rows help you follow the field as a whole.
The side-on angle
Mike Procter is a good place to concentrate on the batter’s movement and field changes across the square. Compare it with the corner angles in Club or Jack Russell if that is the view you enjoy. For a quieter county fixture, check which stands are open before travelling; a larger international seating plan does not establish that every block opens every day.
Steps and sunshine
AccessAble’s survey records steps to the ordinary rows, with no standard level-access seating in the stand. Arrange designated accessible viewing elsewhere with Gloucestershire if needed. The seats are uncovered, get morning sun and a mix of sun and shade after lunch. Keep a hat, sun cream and waterproof within reach for the long sessions.
