Fleetwood Town

Fleetwood Town’s Highbury Stadium is not to be confused with the ground of the same name where Arsenal Football Club played for 93 years, if for no other reason than Arsenal’s Highbury saw a lot more success in its time than Fleetwood Town’s. Wyre Borough Council own the place, with Fleetwood paying rent to them. The ground is also used for the home games of Blackpool Reserves, which is fun. The capacity of Highbury is 5300+, which makes it the 112th largest stadium in England and, at the time of writing, the 24th largest ground in League One. The ground opened in 1939 during the club’s most successful period when they won three Lancashire Combination Cups on the bounce. Before they moved to Highbury the club played their home games on ground next to North Euston Hotel in the town.
