Billericay Town are based at New Lodge and are one of Essex non-league football’s best-known clubs. The Blues have a long Isthmian League history, FA Vase success and periods of high-profile investment and ambition. Their return to Step 2 places them back among the leading clubs in the south.
New Lodge is Billericay Town's home on Blunts Wall Road and is one of the more recognisable non-league grounds in Essex. It has been upgraded over time and now has a smart, compact feel, with supporters close to the pitch and a good mix of seating, covered areas and terracing.
The main stand provides the principal seated accommodation and the best protected view. Behind the goals and along the sides there are traditional standing areas, giving the ground a more familiar non-league feel than a modern stadium bowl.
New Lodge can feel lively when Billericay are well backed, especially for local games or important fixtures. Neutral supporters who want comfort should look towards the main stand, while those wanting atmosphere may prefer the terraces near the home support and clubhouse side.
Away segregation at New Lodge depends on the fixture. Many matches at this level may be unsegregated, allowing away supporters to enter normally and move around the ground. For larger matches or games where the club expects a bigger away following, Billericay can operate segregation and may issue away-specific ticketing or entry instructions.
When segregation is in place, away supporters should follow the visiting club's guidance and any signage at New Lodge. The away area can vary by fixture, but the compact layout means away fans are usually placed in a defined terrace or end section rather than a large, separate stand.
If the match is unsegregated, away fans can usually use the same facilities as home supporters. If it is segregated, do not assume you will be able to access the clubhouse, change ends at half-time or use every part of the ground.

New Lodge sits in a residential-edge location, so arriving early is sensible, particularly for evening matches or fixtures expected to draw a bigger crowd. Parking close to the ground can be limited, and supporters should check club advice before travelling rather than relying on turning up late and finding a space nearby.
The ground is compact and easy to navigate once inside. The best covered and seated positions can fill quickly, so arrive in good time if shelter matters to you. Billericay have used mostly cashless arrangements at New Lodge, so supporters should take a card even if one cash turnstile is available for a particular match.
For neutral supporters, this is a good traditional non-league visit with a close view of the pitch. For away fans, the most important thing is to check whether the match is segregated, because ticketing, entry and access to facilities can change.
Billericay Town generally encourage supporters to buy tickets online in advance. Recent away supporter guidance has described New Lodge as mostly cashless, while noting that one turnstile may accept cash on the day for certain fixtures.
Pay on the gate may still be available for some matches, but supporters should check the official ticket information before travelling. Larger fixtures, play-off matches or games with segregation may have stricter ticket arrangements.
For neutral supporters, the main stand is the best choice for seating and cover. Terracing gives the more traditional experience. Away supporters should use any away-specific ticket link if one is issued and should avoid buying a home/general ticket for a segregated fixture unless the club clearly says the match is unsegregated.
New Lodge operates normal football ground rules, including ticket checks, steward instructions, restrictions on alcohol, bans on pyrotechnics and no pitch encroachment. Supporters should also expect cashless or mostly cashless payment rules to apply at some fixtures.
If segregation is in operation, supporters must use the correct entrance and remain in their allocated section. Access to bars, food outlets, toilets or the club shop may be different for home and away supporters depending on the fixture.
As with most non-league grounds, the atmosphere can be relaxed for routine matches but rules may be applied more strictly for local derbies, large away followings or higher-profile cup games.
New Lodge has wheelchair access and a disabled section in the main stand for wheelchair users. This is likely to be the most suitable area for supporters who need step-free access, shelter or a seated position.
Because the ground is compact and segregation can change the layout for certain fixtures, disabled supporters should contact Billericay Town before travelling if they require a wheelchair space, carer ticket, parking help or specific access advice.
Away disabled supporters should check arrangements in advance rather than assuming the away terrace will be suitable, especially if the match is segregated.
Billericay Town do not appear to offer regular public stadium tours of New Lodge. The ground is primarily used as a football and club facility rather than as a visitor attraction.
Supporters interested in group visits or non-matchday access should contact the club directly. For most fans, attending a match is the practical way to see New Lodge.
