Herman 9,713 Posted October 19, 2014 It is good. I see it from the mainline and it looks classy from a distance as well. The next time the FA need to build a stadium and it''s environs properly they know who to call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted October 19, 2014 memories of a night game there and being stood at the back of the terrace when a ball landed in the garden/patio belowthe clown came out of his house and attempted to kick the ball back over the fenceonly to have it hit the back wall and bounce back and hit him ! we have played here in the last 5 years(reveal time is pm tomorrow) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drazen Muzinic 1,444 Posted October 19, 2014 One of the coldest places to watch football! *******y ***k.Took the missus here one winter Saturday in the 90''s. A freezing, windy day and an awful performance.We were in the middle of a crap run of form at the time and I''m pretty sure this was the last away game she went to.

Essex_Canary 6 Posted October 20, 2014 Wow City1st that was a really tough one. I''ve got it but only after going through just about every possibility first!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drazen Muzinic 1,444 Posted October 20, 2014 Nice one KiwiScot - this is a classic for those connoisseurs of lost grounds. Amazing the terraces are still there.I think amateur games are still played there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,436 Posted October 20, 2014 Aye I walked pass it once on the way to another Stadium and could not believe it. The team reformed as an amateur team and play there on let from the council. Its a public park so I think anybody could go and have a kickabout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molly Windley 76 Posted October 22, 2014 A colour photo from the 70`s would perhaps have given this one away, mainly due to the lack of any green on the playing surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
