It also hosted an American football team, the Manchester Spartans, in the 1980s after a surge in the sport's popularity in the UK following Channel 4's coverage of live NFL games.

Ewen Fields had a make over in summer 2010, funded by Manchester City as part of the clubs' partnership.

The Tinker's Passage End (named after the footpath which runs behind the stand) is behind the goal nearest to the Scrattin' Shed.

This is because the pitch prior to the Astroturf was not a perfect rectangle, and the stand, which used to be parallel to the goal line, shows the extent of this previous irregularity.

Away fans are housed in the Tinker's Passage End on the rare occasions that games at Ewen Fields are segregated.
