Stadium Overview

Warrington Town play at the Cal.Delivery Stadium, better known by its traditional name of Cantilever Park. It is a long-established non-league ground on Common Lane with a capacity of just over 3,000 and a more developed feel than many Step 3 venues.

The ground has two covered all-seater stands, further covered standing terraces and uncovered standing around the pitch perimeter. Recent improvements have added extra refreshment kiosks and toilets, while the social club function room is accessible from inside the ground on matchdays.

Cantilever Park has the feel of a proper traditional football ground: compact, enclosed in parts, and with a good mix of seating and standing. It is not a modern bowl, but the range of covered areas and the club facilities make it one of the more established stadiums in the division.

Away End

Away arrangements at Warrington Town are fixture-dependent. For some matches, particularly bigger games and local derbies, segregation is used and visiting supporters are allocated a specific away section with stewards directing fans on arrival. Away allocations have been used for National League North fixtures and derby matches.

For other fixtures, especially lower-risk league games, arrangements may be more relaxed and pay-on-the-day admission may be available. Away supporters should always check the match information from both clubs because Cantilever Park can operate differently from one fixture to the next.

When segregation is in force, away fans should use the correct ticket, entrance and section. If no segregation is in place, visiting supporters can usually choose between the available seating and standing areas, but should avoid home-only or reserved sections.

Getting There

By Road

From The North

Use the M6 or M62 to Warrington, then follow signs into the town and Cantilever Park. The ground sits south of the Mersey, so choose the right bridge approach.

From The South

Use the M56/M6 routes and head towards Latchford/Stockton Heath. This can be better than going straight through the town centre.

From The East

Use the M62 from Manchester side, then enter Warrington and cross towards Latchford. Allow time for bridge and town traffic.

From The West

Use the M56/A56 from Chester/Runcorn side or M62 from Liverpool, then follow Warrington signs. Check traffic before committing to a river crossing.

By Air

Use rail from the airport towards Warrington, usually changing in Manchester. From Warrington, continue on foot, bus or taxi to Cantilever Park.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport

For Warrington Town, this airport makes most sense because Liverpool is close enough for a practical away-day airport route. From the airport, aim for Liverpool South Parkway, then Warrington. Use the airport bus to Liverpool South Parkway and rail to Warrington Central. It is a good alternative when Liverpool flight times are better.

Matchday Advice

Cantilever Park is a straightforward ground to visit, but it can become busy for larger fixtures. Supporters driving to the match should plan parking in advance and be considerate around nearby residential streets. The ground is also accessible by public transport, with Warrington itself offering wider rail and bus links.

Arrive early if the fixture is segregated, ticketed or expected to attract a strong following. Turnstiles, away sections and refreshment points can become busier than at smaller grounds, especially now Warrington are used to hosting larger Step 2/3 crowds.

For neutral supporters, the seated stands provide the best side-on view, while the covered terraces give the better traditional non-league atmosphere. If you want shelter, choose a covered area early because uncovered standing remains part of the ground layout.

Tickets

Warrington Town use online ticketing for many fixtures, and some games are sold with specific home and away ticket categories. Pay on the gate may still apply for selected matches, but supporters should check the club's ticket page and match preview before travelling.

Away supporters should be careful to buy the correct away ticket where segregation is in force. For derby matches and other high-demand fixtures, the club may monitor home and away sections closely and tickets may need to be purchased in advance.

Neutral fans should buy online for bigger fixtures and choose seating if they want the clearest view. For standard league matches, admission may be simpler, but official ticketing information should always be checked first.

Stadium Rules

Cantilever Park operates standard football ground rules: no pyrotechnics, no pitch incursions, no throwing objects, no abusive or discriminatory behaviour, and no access to restricted areas. Supporters should follow stewarding instructions, especially at segregated fixtures.

Alcohol should only be consumed in permitted areas and supporters should not take it into areas where licensing rules prohibit it. Where tickets are separated into home and away sections, supporters must use the correct ticket and remain in the appropriate area.

Accessibility

Cantilever Park is a traditional non-league ground that has been improved over time, but disabled supporters should contact Warrington Town in advance for current information on wheelchair viewing, step-free access, accessible toilets and parking.

Away disabled supporters should check whether segregation is in force and whether their entrance or viewing position differs from normal arrangements. Advance contact is recommended because not every stand or terrace will be equally suitable for mobility needs.

Stadium Tours

Regular public stadium tours are not normally advertised at Warrington Town. Cantilever Park is a working non-league football stadium, so supporters wanting special access should contact the club directly rather than expecting stadium tours to be available on ordinary matchdays.

Things To Do Nearby
Warrington Museum and Art Gallery

Warrington Museum and Art Gallery is a worthwhile extra stop around Warrington if you are making more of the day than just the match. It is one of the more obvious local attractions or landmarks to build into an away day.
