Racing Club Warwick are based at Townsend Meadow and carry a long football history in the county town of Warwick. The Racers have moved through the Midlands non-league system and their place in Premier Central gives the club a high-profile Step 3 platform.
Townsend Meadow is the home of Racing Club Warwick and sits off Hampton Road in Warwick. It is a traditional community non-league venue with a maximum capacity of around 2,100 spectators and a compact layout that suits Step 3 football.
The ground has the feel of a local football club rather than a large stadium. It includes standing areas, practical spectator facilities, toilets, changing rooms and on-site parking. The pitch is close to the spectator areas, giving the ground a straightforward, close-to-the-action non-league feel.
For neutrals, the best view is usually from the side of the pitch. Supporters wanting atmosphere will normally move towards the busier standing areas, although the ground is compact enough that the whole stadium can feel involved when the crowd is good. Because it is not a large covered stadium, weather should be considered when choosing where to stand.
Away segregation is unlikely to be routine at Townsend Meadow for most Southern League Premier Central fixtures. Visiting supporters should normally expect general admission, with the ability to mix with home supporters and choose where to watch.
For cup ties, local derbies or fixtures where a larger following is expected, Racing Club Warwick may introduce additional stewarding, recommended areas or ticket guidance. Any such arrangements are likely to be fixture-specific rather than a permanent away end.
Access is via the Townsend Meadow / Hampton Road side of the ground. Away fans should arrive early for busier matches and follow steward directions, particularly around the entrance, parking areas and clubhouse facilities.
