Pirelli Stadium
Burton upon Trent, United Kingdom
Formerly: Eton Park (old stadium)
Not many English league grounds sit on the same street as the one they replaced. Пирелли Стэдиум stands on Princess Way in Бертон-апон-Трент, a few hundred metres from where Итон Парк stood until it was demolished and built over with housing.
The ground takes its name from the tyre works that has shaped this corner of Стаффордшир, and it sits in the Хорнинглоу-энд-Итон district rather than in the town centre. Джон Хоукай is credited as the architect. Capacity is given as 6,912, and the figure is worth reading as approximate: 6,500, 6,746 and 6,900 all appear elsewhere, differences of counting method rather than of building work. Nothing in the record points to a rebuild or an expansion since 2005.
The pitch has been natural grass since the ground opened, with no period of artificial surface in between — unremarkable in England.
Бертон Альбион play here and nowhere else.
