It is a covered terrace that had a roof added to it at the start of 2007-08. Seats were added to the front half of the terrace to bring the stadium up to Football League standards.
• Whinney Hill Terrace - Otherwise known as the Cowshed. It was a small terrace with only 3 rows but had seating installed in the covered section to bring the stadium up to Football League standards. It has a roof running 2/3 the length of the pitch held up by pillars. The terrace continues around the corner for about 1/3 of the Coppice End and around the corner at the other end to join with the Clayton End. The Television gantry is situated in the middle of the terrace. The half nearest the Coppice End is given to away fans.
• Coppice End - This is the away end. It is identical to the Clayton End except it only runs 2/3 the width of the pitch and has no roof. If the away club brings a small amount of fans the terrace is unused.
