An application for retention of developments at the Wexford football complex was rejected by Wexford Planners in October 2007. This decision threatens the future development of the club and has slowed work on the complex considerably. The decision is in the appeals process at present.
Access to the stadium is signposted from the N11. The signs along the roadside are small and care should be taken when approaching the junctions along the N11. The roads leading to the entrance to the ground are narrow and winding and caution is required. There is no direct access from the N11.

Stadium information
The single temporary stand fully covers 609 seats and holds both home and away supporters. This stand replaced another un-covered temporary stand, on the opposite (south) side of the ground, from the start of the 2008 season. There are no stands in place behind the goals though there is limited standing space at both ends of the ground. The refreshment stall and supporters club are both found in the north-west corner.
Extra temporary seating was put in place when Wexford hosted the 2008 League Cup Final. Extra stands were put in place on all four sides of the ground.
The large complex in the south-west corner holds the dressing rooms, and also a wine-bar and restaurant.
