Salisbury FC were formed after the collapse of Salisbury City and continue the city’s football identity at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium. The Whites have rebuilt through the Southern League system and returned to Step 2 with a loyal Wiltshire support.
The Raymond McEnhill Stadium, often shortened to the Ray Mac, is Salisbury's home on the northern side of the city. It is a traditional out-of-town non-league ground with a mixture of seated accommodation, covered standing, open terraces and hard-standing areas around the pitch.
The main stand provides the principal seated view, while terracing and standing areas around the ground give it a familiar Step 2 character. It is not a tight town-centre venue, but the ground has a proper football feel and enough space to handle stronger National League South attendances.
For neutral supporters, the main stand is the best option if you want seating and a clearer view. Standing areas offer the more traditional matchday experience, but some parts can be exposed in poor weather. The ground's out-of-town location means planning transport is more important than at grounds next to railway stations.

Away segregation at Salisbury varies by fixture. Some matches have been played without segregation, while larger fixtures or matches with strong away followings have used separate away arrangements. For certain segregated games, away supporters have been directed to specific turnstiles at the south end of the ground.
When segregation is not in place, away supporters can usually enter normally and move around the ground in the usual non-league fashion. When segregation is applied, visiting supporters should use the correct away ticket category and entrance.
Because arrangements can change depending on crowd size and risk level, away fans should check Salisbury's match information and the visiting club's guidance before travelling. Do not assume previous arrangements will apply to every fixture.
