Fibrus Community Stadium, Derwent Park

The Fibrus Community Stadium sits on the edge of Maryport, a proper working sports ground that's home to the town's football club. It's not flashy - no corporate lounges or trendy bars - but that's rather the point. You get genuine football atmosphere here, the kind where locals actually know each other in the crowd. The ground holds around 2,000 people and the pitch is kept in decent nick, though it's the sort of place where a strong wind might whip your programme out of your hands. If you're visiting with kids who fancy watching a match, check ahead for fixture dates as these tend to rotate through the season. Admission is modest, and the whole experience takes a couple of hours from kick-off to final whistle. Worth timing your visit around a weekend game if the fixture list allows. Outside match days, there's not much to see - it's a functional stadium, not a tourist attraction per se. That said, if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan sites like Harbour Side (just five miles away) or Greysouthen, and you've got football fans in the family, it's a cracking way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Maryport itself has enough going on - harbour walks, maritime history - to make a day of it. The stadium's really one for keen supporters rather than casual visitors, but that's no bad thing.
