Went round the West Terrace before Mansfield and we had to wait for them to arrive , although you could walk under the stand to the barriers. A steward told me there is or will be a riverside walkway from Jesse Hartley Way which will get you into the stadium . Not sure he was right as there would need to be security gates at some point ? On non-matchdays it might be nice to sit on the steps , weather permitting , but it seems the club don't want that.
