Set right on the valley floor, with the River Ebbw flowing behind the stand, it is a spectacular location hemmed in by the steeply rising valley sides.
The massive bank of terracing opposite the stand is an impressive sight.
Looking back towards the stand from the opposite side.
The far end of the ground backs on to the home of Ebbw Vale Cricket Club, a venue that has staged county matches for Glamorgan.
The hosts today are Gwent County League side RTB Ebbw Vale, and they are up against the holders of the competition, but in the build up to this tie the minnows have made great play of the fact that they won the Welsh Youth Cup in 1979, claiming the scalp of Cardiff City on route to their success.
Visitors Swansea City have enjoyed a good start to the season in the Football League Youth Alliance, and not surprisingly the hosts are soon having to fend off wave after wave of attacks. RTB keeper Ryan Wookey makes several good saves, and they do enough to pose the visitors some threat on the break, particularly through the pace of Lewys Thomas.
A headed clearance by Bradley Harris from a Ben Davies cross rebounds to safety off his own crossbar, and Swansea are again denied by the woodwork when skipper Matthew Whatley crashes a header against the bar, but RTB reach the interval having kept the scoreline goalless.
Swansea make the breakthrough on 50 minutes, Adam Hurrell heading on a free kick at the near post to leave Matthew Whatley with a simple finish at the far post, and they effectively seal their place in the next round on 66 minutes, substitute Gwion Edwards with the pull back for Henry Jones to finish from close range.
A third goal follows after 77 minutes, Jandir Zola setting up Gwion Edwards, who was pulled back by Nathan Morgan, with Jordan Smith stepping up to convert the penalty.
Swansea are denied a further goal when a Gwion Edwards shot hits the post, but the 3-0 result adequately reflects their superiority, whilst allowing RTB Ebbw Vale to look back on the day and be proud of their efforts to bridge the massive gulf between the two clubs.
