In those days the ground's official name was Edgar Street Athletic Stadium, there was a running track around the pitch which explains the curious curved "dead" areas behind each goal in front of the terraces.

Even in the early days Hereford United struggled financially and the landlord obligingly reduced the rent to help the club.

Although now showing its age, the ground's history does have some notable landmarks, such as the installation of floodlights in March 1953, before many large clubs.

On 19 February 2015, Herefordshire County Council rejected a proposal by Worcestershire-based Redditch United to play at Edgar Street.

[3] The stadium's record attendance is 18,114 when Hereford United played against Sheffield Wednesday in the 1957–58 FA Cup Third Round.

All of the club facilities, such as offices, changing rooms, boardroom and corporate hospitality are located underneath the stand.

The flat area in front of the terracing enables supporters to stand directly behind the perimeter wall of the pitch, very close to the action.

The stand was popular amongst supporters but had to close its terracing due to health and safety concerns in 2009, then from 2010 to 2012 it adopted temporary seating to accommodate bigger sides in League Two.
