i. From the motorway
Exit the M25 at Junction 2 and take the A2 signposted Canterbury. Leave the A2 at the Northfleet/Gravesend West junction. At roundabout, follow signs to Ebbsfleet International Station/A226 which will take you on to Thamesway and past Ebbsfleet International. The stadium is at the end of the road.
ii. From Gravesend town centre
Follow the one-way system round to the railway station, turning right at the top of the road by the traffic lights. Continue to next set of traffic lefts and take the left turn on to New Road/Overcliffe. Continue straight for about two miles to London Road, then The Hill, then Northfleet High Street and finally past The Hive down to Stonebridge Road. The ground is at the bottom of the hill by the roundabout.
Car-parking
Please see below.
Rail
The nearest stations are Northfleet (take Gravesend service from Charing Cross, Waterloo East and London Bridge) and Ebbsfleet International. From Northfleet, go (more or less) straight ahead until you reach the main road. Turn left, walk to the bottom of the hill and the ground is on your right.
The high-speed rail service from London St Pancras to Ebbsfleet International (15-18 minutes journey time) will also take you to within walking distance of the ground. Proceed through Car Park C and out on to the roundabout where you will see the stadium in front of you.
Search train times at Trainline.
Bus
The local Arriva service runs the 480 bus service from Gravesend to Temple Hill, Dartford. It starts from Gravesend Garrick Street near to the town’s railway station and stops at Northfleet High Street/The Hive and just before Ebbsfleet Station on Thames Way, all of which are walking distance to the stadium. See the map route at the website link below.
There is limited space down side streets and Thamesway (between the station and the roundabout outside the stadium) is designated a ‘Clearway’ and any cars parked along there are liable to be ticketed. There is also limited space available in surrounding residential streets.
Car Park C – Ebbsfleet Station
We would encourage all spectators to use Ebbsfleet International Station which offers secure matchday parking in its Car Park C for £3 cash only (valid from 12.30pm). Drive into the left-hand barrier where a steward will issue a ticket to display in your window. (Note that if you get a ticket from the machine instead, you will be charged the full parking rate.)
It is just over five minutes walk from the ground and is the best bet for a parking space in the area. The club strongly advises use of this car park to avoid problems of vandalism or cars being ticketed. Please aid the gate staff by having small change to hand. High-value notes cannot be changed on the premises.
We have bike racks inside the stadium for those of you wishing to lock up bicycles.
Our own on-site car-park has limited space and is available to those with seasonal car-parking tickets. If you hold a disabled/blue badge, we will try to accommodate parking requests for a space here (as capacity allows) but this must be requested at least seven days in advance by emailing [email protected].
Away supporters
Matches at National League South level are usually not segregated unless stated ahead of time via our social media and other communications channels.
All fans enter through the home turnstiles unless the game is segregated (see below).
Tickets can be purchased online in advance here with prices rising at midnight. Supporters can also buy on the day at our ticket windows next to the stadium reception/entrance (but not at the turnstiles).
Car-parking is available for the special matchday price of £3 at Ebbsfleet International Car Park C. This is cash only and parking is available from two hours before kick-off. Please make sure you get a ticket from the steward in attendance and not from the ticketing machines which will not apply the discounted matchday price.
The Rose pub
A reminder that The Rose Pub (1 Rose Street, DA11 9EQ) is open to home and away supporters. Located close to both the ground and Northfleet and Ebbsfleet stations, it’s an ideal venue for that pre- and post-match drink with food available throughout the day.
Food and drink
Our popular Eat Street van will be available for food (hot dogs and burgers) and beverages. Our Main Stand Kiosk and kiosk next to the Old Stand (“Geeks’ Corner”) will be stocked with pies, pasties and sausage rolls along with light snacks, soft drinks plus tea and coffee.
Alcoholic drinks can be purchased in the social bar (located in front of the turnstiles) and the Main Stand Lounge bar. Beers on tap include Fosters, Cruzcampo, Brixton Reliance, Inchs Cider and Moretti.
Lowrise lager and Pale Ale can also be purchased at an exclusive pop-up bar located next to the German bratwurst grill as well as inside the social bar and the Main Lounge.
Four-pint pitchers are also being introduced for you to enjoy. Please note they can be used only in the Main Stand Lounge bar, the Social Club and the area behind it. Please do not bring pitchers into the Main Stand, the Plough End or the Geeks/Swanscombe End terraces.
Programmes
Our Fleet Review programme can be pre-ordered online with your ticket, or through our online club shop here. In the ground, you can purchase in the club shop, just past the main turnstiles and at the Plough End social club. Please note, pre-ordered programmes must be collected from the club shop at the main reception entrance BEFORE entering the ground. Please also be aware that pre-orders for matchday programmes will cut off at 10 am for 3pm kick off and 3pm for evening games.
** When matches are segregated, away fans are allocated a section of the Swanscombe End (see diagram below) standing terrace depending on expected numbers as well as a number of priority seats in the Old Stand. Access will be via the turnstiles at the Swanscombe End, situated to the left of the main entrance along Stonebridge Road and then up through the car-park.
Prohibited items
The following items must not be brought to the Kuflink Stadium: weapons, narcotics, fireworks/flares and smoke bombs are all banned. Stewards reserve the right to perform bag searches for security reasons. Our full ground regulations can be reviewed here.
The local area
Ebbsfleet International Station is only 18 minutes from London’s St Pancras Station, and Northfleet Station is also within walking distance of the stadium on the Charing Cross Line. The nearest town centre is Gravesend (one stop away on trains from Northfleet or Ebbsfleet) and also a short taxi or bus ride away.
Visiting fans have access to food and bars inside the Kuflink Stadium but the nearest pub to the ground is The Rose (by Northfleet Station), which is owned and operated by the club – home and away fans are always welcome to pop in before and after matches.
There is also a café opposite the home turnstiles and a Costa Coffee across the road from our Main Reception.
Ground layout
The Kuflink Stadium is laid out as follows (click pic to view full-size):
Our newest stand with 1,000+ seats opened in 2016. The main reception / entrance and club shop are accessed from the roadside. The ground floor contains changing rooms for home and away teams and club offices.
The first floor, accessible by lift and stairs, houses our hospitality area, boardroom, chairman’s suite and is available for event hire. Home fans can use the Main Stand bar on matchdays once inside the ground by accessing the door and stairs at the far (Swanscombe) end of the Main Stand gangway.
Bicycle racks, disabled toilets and a wheelchair bay plus lifts and a tea bar/kiosk can also be found here.
A seated covered stand with capacity for c.500 located behind the goal where home fans congregate, particularly those who like to make a noise! This is the closest stand to the home turnstiles and behind it is our Social Club and food outlet where you can grab drinks and a table.
A small uncovered terrace by the corner of the Plough End for c.200, opposite the Main Stand. Colloquially known as ‘Geeks Corner’ after the MyFootballClub members who favoured the area during the internet venture’s ownership of the Fleet from 2007–13, it’s open to the elements but greatly favoured by a section of the home support.
Constructed in 1914 and remaining virtually unchanged from its heyday, the 600-capacity wooden covered stand has overseen every moment of the Fleet’s existence. The left-hand end of the stand houses priority seating for away supporters while the rest seats home fans and additional media. The Fleet Supporters Trust have an office behind the stand for booking away travel, a members’ bar and is the place to go to pick up any winning 50/50 tickets! Along the front of this stand, on the left-hand side as you face it, is a flat area for wheelchair users.
This long, traditional uncovered terrace is divided when games are segregated between home and away fans, or open to all when unsegregated. It was reinforced in 2018 to raise the capacity of the terrace to more than 2,000. When games are segregated, away fans have access to food outlets and a bar.
Home fans wishing to stand at the Swanscombe End must access it via the home turnstiles and then walk along the Main Stand gangway.
There are food vans behind each goal, while home fans can also sample our popular German Food Stall hut located between the Plough End and Main Stand. Popup bars can also be found just behind Geeks Corner and in the corner between the Main Stand and the Swanscombe End. Beverages on tap variously include Cruzcampo, Fosters and Inch’s cider.
Between Geeks Corner and the Old Stand is a tea bar/kiosk and another is situated in the Main Stand, beneath the scoreboard.
