This is the entrance to the ground.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StoS1A5l_EI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/JuJ6C2y3hN8/s400/PICT0847.jpg)
Outside is the Brimsdown social club, with outside patio area. You can see the turnstiles beyond them, on the right.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3ZMPz_T7I/AAAAAAAABC8/4aJiLTGYedQ/s400/PICT0889.jpg)
Here we are through them, inside the ground.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StoS11hKblI/AAAAAAAAA-k/KeqblT-Am7k/s400/PICT0850.jpg)
As you can see they are set a little bit back from the ground. The changing rooms are to the right of this snap.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3ZLnH4IOI/AAAAAAAABC0/zaC-lsFgsH8/s400/PICT0887.jpg)
The home kit is hanging up inside.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3ZLzQF9mI/AAAAAAAABC4/qiGMkgdblr0/s400/PICT0888.jpg)
Well we are close to Essex! ;-)
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3ZLQyrL6I/AAAAAAAABCw/05ByFQY6cQw/s400/PICT0886.jpg)
Looking ahead we see the pitch, with the cover behind the goal in view.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2dmF0JnWI/AAAAAAAABBw/yl13w8_kFFs/s400/PICT0851.jpg)
As we get to the corner of the pitch we can also spot the dugouts & another small bit of over on the far side.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StoS2LhW68I/AAAAAAAAA-o/w-NwMYiQJaY/s400/PICT0852.jpg)
To our right, down the near side, there is a stand on the halfway line.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Sto_0E1kKRI/AAAAAAAAA_I/9whfTf48XUw/s400/PICT0853.jpg)
But we are going to head round the ground in the other direction. Clockwise, through the players' tunnel.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Sto_0WCMyoI/AAAAAAAAA_M/GkWUe8zs7tk/s400/PICT0854.jpg)
Here we look into the tunnel, the changing rooms being to the left.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3UpgQA2II/AAAAAAAABCo/3mRzS3YtwpM/s400/PICT0885.jpg)
Behind the goal it's open, with hard standing all the way along, the covered metal terrace being set a bit of a way back from the pitch perimeter fence.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Sto_0g798GI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/F1-Jmv-PIYg/s400/PICT0855.jpg)
Here is a close up of the cover.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Sto_0zUKlaI/AAAAAAAAA_U/ZlwATE4THiI/s400/PICT0856.jpg)
From behind the goal we look over to the other covered terrace, & the dugouts.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Sto_1C7acvI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/y8VRW_lm0lY/s400/PICT0857.jpg)
With the seats on the other side.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpFDa30T6I/AAAAAAAAA_g/okwg28XRggg/s400/PICT0858.jpg)
On the other side of the goal we're moving closer to the far side.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpFDmZvrEI/AAAAAAAAA_k/0zv6CXzAIk4/s400/PICT0859.jpg)
The hard standing continues up to the corner.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpFD71GpjI/AAAAAAAAA_o/tpvTvDRQaio/s400/PICT0860.jpg)
From where we look back at the covered end.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpFEOJgtUI/AAAAAAAAA_s/sOV_BqB5-Wk/s400/PICT0861.jpg)
At the corner we look across the pitch.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpFEuTqivI/AAAAAAAAA_w/HFwLXoVd7yc/s400/PICT0862.jpg)
Before starting to make our way along the next side of the ground.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpJ6hteOpI/AAAAAAAAA_4/jIG9kQ7VZGY/s400/PICT0863.jpg)
From there we look back behind the goal.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpJ7WWkRyI/AAAAAAAAA_8/fi-SEyT6pjw/s400/PICT0864.jpg)
And then move on to the oldest bit of cover in the ground. On my first visit here, a good few years ago, I can't remember when, this was the only bit of protection from the elements in the entire place.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpJ7nu8BRI/AAAAAAAABAA/eJJxs9UQuc0/s400/PICT0865.jpg)
From here we look across the pitch to the seats.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpJ7xdBMCI/AAAAAAAABAE/HfbLJL96LjQ/s400/PICT0866.jpg)
Before we carry on along the hard standing, & past the dugouts.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpJ8FEF47I/AAAAAAAABAI/BwfDXMQGXng/s400/PICT0867.jpg)
A bit ramshackle from the top!
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpOQ19F92I/AAAAAAAABAQ/m6c5nHbOueQ/s400/PICT0868.jpg)
Looking back at the halfway shed.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpORLoVmjI/AAAAAAAABAU/Hv6pltx1lYg/s400/PICT0869.jpg)
And then toward the open end.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpORXZZBXI/AAAAAAAABAY/Grbw1XtA2dE/s400/PICT0870.jpg)
More flat, open hard standing & grass here.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpORxEjtLI/AAAAAAAABAc/OJ7YiKj5bmk/s400/PICT0871.jpg)
From by this post we look over to the main stand.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/StpOSIvoQaI/AAAAAAAABAg/rVo_hQDxJCM/s400/PICT0872.jpg)
Now at the next corner, looking over the pitch once more.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2UqZgaW7I/AAAAAAAABBY/cCJXjTQKo3Y/s400/PICT0873.jpg)
Glancing back behind the goal, before we move on.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2UqlvSV_I/AAAAAAAABBc/rcQdpIMfAe4/s400/PICT0874.jpg)
The same hard standing all the way along this last side, up to & past the grandstand.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2Uq1-5X2I/AAAAAAAABBg/MY_fHM3GDUI/s400/PICT0875.jpg)
Here we are. A modern stand, in Enfield Town colours, which I understand they will take with them to Donkey Lane.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2UrLwmv_I/AAAAAAAABBk/GUEojtXeIxU/s400/PICT0876.jpg)
Plenty of them reserved for season ticket holders.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2UrSzwVjI/AAAAAAAABBo/UzdOdsHoF5M/s400/PICT0877.jpg)
From the front we look over to the covered end, as the final touches are made to the pitch.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2dmWGN_qI/AAAAAAAABB0/modADx3PJXI/s400/PICT0878.jpg)
Like many, this fan walked away from the old Enfield, to form their own fans' club, back in their own borough.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2dmqrOKGI/AAAAAAAABB4/wePd5aujhdM/s400/PICT0879.jpg)
Some seats are reserved for the press.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su2dm-jC5hI/AAAAAAAABB8/BSpVTbAoHm8/s400/PICT0880.jpg)
And club officials.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3UoKF0BDI/AAAAAAAABCY/5hhogY1874g/s400/PICT0881.jpg)
This is the view of the seats from the other side.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3UoQ1r0kI/AAAAAAAABCc/nsPpzfwxQlc/s400/PICT0882.jpg)
Beyond this is the hard standing, up to the corner where we came in.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3Uo4QaSfI/AAAAAAAABCg/DewX12eupRs/s400/PICT0883.jpg)
A last look behind the goal.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3UpBfe1qI/AAAAAAAABCk/d6Qj7tBJhtA/s400/PICT0884.jpg)
Time to settle down for the match.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3ZMAW6w9I/AAAAAAAABDA/-Boiz6BjLB4/s400/PICT0891.jpg)
Well ok, one more look behind the goal, after the weather turned.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3b3FdOCpI/AAAAAAAABDI/SQklM9Qx0R8/s400/PICT0892.jpg)
Most of the crowd opt for the main stand, after the heavy pre-match downpour.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MtVN1YLXLZs/Su3b3Y5cmiI/AAAAAAAABDM/bYUVLmPz01Q/s400/PICT0893.jpg)
Kick off signals the end of our tour.

Nice pics Mishi. The names of the seats aren't actually season ticket holders, and they're not reserved: they are seat sponsors - we all paid fifty quid to sponsor a seat
