Spennymoor Town are based at The Brewery Field and represent one of County Durham’s leading non-league clubs. The Moors were reformed after the collapse of Spennymoor United and have rebuilt strongly, becoming a regular National League North side with good local support.
The Brewery Field is Spennymoor Town's historic home on Wood Vue and has a proper old North East non-league feel. It is close to Spennymoor town centre and has developed steadily into one of the more established Step 2 grounds in the region.
The ground has a capacity of over 4,000, with seating, covered standing and open standing areas. The main stand and clubhouse areas provide the principal facilities, while the rest of the ground gives supporters a choice between sheltered and open views. The Jason Ainsley Fan Zone and club facilities add to the matchday feel around the ground.
The Brewery Field is a practical, atmospheric ground rather than a modern bowl. It is usually straightforward to visit, but for larger away followings or local fixtures, segregation, ticketing and entry points can become more specific.
