County Ground is a 15,728, all-seater football stadium which has been home to Swindon Town F.C. since 1896.

The current stadium has four stands; Arkell's Stand, Stratton Bank, Don Rogers Stand and the Town End.

The Arkell's Stand, located on the north side of pitch, is named after Thomas Arkell who donated 300 pounds to finance the construction of the original stand. It contains an executive seating area, VIP lounge, the players' dressing rooms and the tunnel onto the pitch. The west corner is allocated to away fans.

The Stratton Bank is on the east end of the pitch. It is a former terrace, now with seats in place, but with no roof. The Stratton Bank stand makes up the remaining 2,200 of the away allocation when needed.

Don Rogers Stand - Built in the early 90's it is sometimes referred to as the South Stand by supporters. It features a cantilever roof, which means there are no roof-supports obstructing the view of the game.

The Town End is to west side of the pitch, and is named for being closest to the town centre. It houses the most vocal Swindon Town support.
