Use the official Worcester seating plan to place Brookes Stand against the wicket and the neighbouring banks. Brookes Stand: the highlighted plan here is a schematic, so the club’s ticket map remains the reference for choosing the individual seat.
Seating and rows
The official plan names the Brookes Stand between The View and Mills. Brookes Stand: individual row ranges, restricted-view seats and row-by-row step-free routes are TBC in the published material. Ask the ticket office to check the offered Brookes Stand seat if steps, a railing or an uninterrupted view would affect your visit.
