The previous seating for the Hendre End of the ground was purchased from Shrewsbury Town when they became surplus to requirements due to the demolition of Gay Meadow. They have since been removed and replaced with yellow and green seats funded by the Football Trust.

Following significant redevelopment during the 2025/26 season, the Oval staged three games in the 2026 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. Due to the construction of the Wyn Davies Stand, the seated capacity increased to 1,200 following the renovation.
