Visited yesterday for a Cup game which may have broken the attendance record. Situated right in the centre of Town, there is a plaque proclaiming that the FA consider this to be the oldest senior football ground in continuous use by the same club, dating back to 1871. Obviously improved over the years, and the newish stand in which we were seated had good sightlines. One small point, the 700+ away fans arrived gradually, but on departure it would be good to have a better getaway rather than through the two turnstile, which, whilst locked open, did create quite a pinch point.

Enjoyed our match experience despite the rain and especially the result as we won. Away fans are looked after with a good food stall which was busy and the food on offer good.

York Road Stadium ( home of Maidenhead United, and temporary home to Hayes and Yeading FC ) is believe to be the oldest senior football ground continuously used by the same club. The first match there was held in 1871.
Despite the brand new stand on the far side of the ground in front of the railway embankment, much of ground feel like it was part of the original structure !
There are two entrances to the stadium, the main one from the city centre, with a smaller gate from the railway station end. There is no parking at the ground, but there are several public carparks nearby.
Behind one goal is a covered terrace, split into two sections with “Maidenhead United” painted in black and white on the back of the wall behind the terrace. Behind the other goal is a smaller terrace with some cover in the middle.
The other side of the ground contains an open terrace along one half, then a fenced tunnel from the clubhouse building for the player’s entrance, and then beyond that what looks like a small carpark for players and officials and a communications mast.
The bar has seen better days, but there are three TV screens to keep upto date with scores from other matches at half-time. Drinks ( including two real ales from the nearby Marlow Brewery ) are served in plastic glasses to enable you to take outside and watch the match ( something allowed at the Conference South level and below ) and the noise level does seem to increase as the match goes on, and the level of beer imbibed increases….
There is a tea bar in one corner, with the tempting smell of burgers floating across the open terrace but the toilets looked a bit grotty and thankfully I didn’t need to further investigate
If the match is dull, you can always watch the frequent trains above the embankment either speeding to/from London or the local trains chugging into Maidenhead Station. On a clear day, you can also watch the aircraft heading towards Heathrow Airport.
In summary, York Road is a piece of history, but it is really only for the hardcore fans ( like me ! ) . It’s a far cry from the luxury of The Emirates !

We caught Maidenhead United on a bad day, they got beat 1-0 and didn't play well but the stadium is mainly covered and the half-time drinks and food was very nice. Just like the stadiums of yesteryear, step back in time and enjoy 90 minutes of football

This ground is never going to win any beauty contests, but reminds me attending football matches back in the 1970s.
I attended the National League game against Harrogate Town.
I sat in the main stand, and as it is raised, enjoyed a great view if the game. There are several covered standing areas if you prefer.
Local fans very friendly, and nice to see fans allowed to stand where they want and not be segregated. It reminded me of days gone by when fans changed ends at half time to go behind the goal their team was attacking.
Great groundhop visit for true lovers off The game.

This maybe the oldest continually used ground but you would think they would have enough time to make it moderately professional. One side of the ground has a half built structure encroaching on it. The oddest thing is the no segregation. Watching the mighty yellow army win 2-1 became a little uncomfortable as home fans didn't appreciate the singing znd cheering. Lucky they weren't in the league when Rivers were.

... you’d expect a bit of atmosphere... ;) but as the away fans made perfectly clear MUFC isn’t known for its rowdy nature. Probably the quietest football match I’ve observed. That said it was fun day out. £15 each! Fortunately the game was on point.
