History

The ground was built in 1892,[1] it was named after King Alfred the Great,[1] who was born in Wantage.[1] The ground is on the southern side of Wantage in Manor Road on the A338,[1] around half a mile from the town centre (Market Place). The capacity of the ground is probably 1,500.[1] The record attendance for the ground is 550 for a friendly match against Oxford United.[1] The average attendance at the ground is 75.[1]

The ground has a covered stand which occupies half of one side of the western end of the ground with seating for 85.[1] The stand also has room for around 250, plus a few benches.[1] The ground has a concrete path around the entire pitch. The Clubhouse is on the northern end of the ground.[1] Floodlights were added in 1996.[2] The ground was refurbished in 2010.[3]
