A sign points the way to the ground.

This is the clubhouse & changing rooms building.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DeeLRvcI/AAAAAAAAB68/sMgOH3IIQtc/s400/DSCF4428.jpg)
A large sign lists the club sponsors on the wall.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DgZwHmeI/AAAAAAAAB7A/PNhKgMFrfgE/s400/DSCF4429.jpg)
There is also a club noticeboard attached to it.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DiJIrK9I/AAAAAAAAB7E/xbVrbce1_Uo/s400/DSCF4430.jpg)
By the clubhouse we look out to the pitch. I told you it was snowing!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6Dk-7ZvnI/AAAAAAAAB7M/3kwIOP4v1a8/s400/DSCF4432.jpg)
Presumably this gap in the pitch perimeter is where the players come onto the pitch. The ground is completely open, we can see the dugouts on the far side.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6CncaoebI/AAAAAAAAB5A/rDqAE6ubNbo/s400/DSCF4396.jpg)
Out on the main side we turn back to the clubhouse.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6CpY9dqdI/AAAAAAAAB5E/oej85qH3KZI/s400/DSCF4397.jpg)
Moving to the front we see there are a few steps of terracing along this side.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6Csv1IkhI/AAAAAAAAB5M/eXqrRhFR_jQ/s400/DSCF4399.jpg)
The terracing extends to the corner. Note the blue on the left...
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6CrCTYo_I/AAAAAAAAB5I/_IV1N1ADqdo/s400/DSCF4398.jpg)
It seems to be the PA box.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6CuW_LEwI/AAAAAAAAB5Q/-y82Qv4mY5U/s400/DSCF4400.jpg)
Almost at the corner we look toward the tree lined open end behind the goal.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6CwXMgziI/AAAAAAAAB5U/vH1Yl2egRM4/s400/DSCF4401.jpg)
Snow is snow..I'm sure it would look better in the summer!
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6CyNR69SI/AAAAAAAAB5Y/rSLvRYKJOa0/s400/DSCF4402.jpg)
It's completely flat behind the goal. It is grass underneath.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6C0aWYq6I/AAAAAAAAB5c/IfopmQXDjvc/s400/DSCF4403.jpg)
From this end we look over to the main terraced side.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6C2AfebZI/AAAAAAAAB5g/8FMeIpxtBTo/s400/DSCF4404.jpg)
Behind the goal we turn left, to the dugouts side.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6C3k83NvI/AAAAAAAAB5k/XaIKnpxyPIs/s400/DSCF4405.jpg)
And directly up the pitch.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6C5Zx1mEI/AAAAAAAAB5o/ZNiO-Kjv_rg/s400/DSCF4406.jpg)
At the next corner we glance back behind the goal.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6C660Y0WI/AAAAAAAAB5s/pdouHL7t6gM/s400/DSCF4407.jpg)
Now along the next side, here appears to be a few steps of terracing at the front, it is grass banking behind.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6C8mUyvmI/AAAAAAAAB5w/CZzjfVZKf8s/s400/DSCF4408.jpg)
We are now almost opposite the club building.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6C-H7kVQI/AAAAAAAAB50/J5MvtoNQ9jA/s400/DSCF4409.jpg)
Behind one of the dugouts.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6C_y9UjeI/AAAAAAAAB54/KYUdOAw02PQ/s400/DSCF4410.jpg)
It was so cold I couldn't summon up the enthusiasm to hop over the fence to snap the dugout properly, so I just leaned over for this shot.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DBrldqUI/AAAAAAAAB58/SGEZNUwayIs/s400/DSCF4411.jpg)
Moving on we can see the outline of the steps under the snow.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DDZVQuII/AAAAAAAAB6A/sgcPrUrg6NE/s400/DSCF4412.jpg)
Stretching over the pitch surround once more, for the second dugout.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DElkOcFI/AAAAAAAAB6E/uvDzCByvaHo/s400/DSCF4413.jpg)
Almost at the end, the terracing is a little clearer.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DF0mt9XI/AAAAAAAAB6I/YvcHzCHvSEg/s400/DSCF4414.jpg)
A corner shot, over the pitch.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DH1GqVGI/AAAAAAAAB6M/nJmDcqYm8d0/s400/DSCF4415.jpg)
At the top of the grass bank behind this corner is the club war memorial.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DL8iEfqI/AAAAAAAAB6U/_3YZT2to69U/s400/DSCF4417.jpg)
Now we are behind the goal at this end.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DI_jBQQI/AAAAAAAAB6Q/5tFPOSBdrRQ/s400/DSCF4416.jpg)
Stepping back, carefully going up the grass bank, we get a snow covered panoramic picture of the ground.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DNAvVTyI/AAAAAAAAB6c/XrNt6boG1LU/s400/DSCF4419.jpg)
A behind the net snap from this end now, toward the dugouts.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DOonrmII/AAAAAAAAB6g/kL1mCZ5dneU/s400/DSCF4420.jpg)
From here we zoom in on one of them.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DQoaK9BI/AAAAAAAAB6k/kNBEpOZBc8g/s400/DSCF4422.jpg)
Heading toward the next corner we see this ticket shed. To the left of it is a path, leading down to the road.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DWvMpbRI/AAAAAAAAB6s/yBEceom_gzs/s400/DSCF4424.jpg)
At the bottom of it is this marvellous club sign.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DThhlbJI/AAAAAAAAB6o/Ln3Hc-m82iI/s400/DSCF4423.jpg)
Back up in the ground, from the corner, there are steps leading up to the main terraced side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DYq29UlI/AAAAAAAAB6w/ymFYUB3r4t4/s400/DSCF4425.jpg)
The open terrace is clearer here, & I brush away some of the snowe covering, to reveal it is brick paved terracing along this side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6DZxmkcAI/AAAAAAAAB60/agDbxHJhW5E/s400/DSCF4426.jpg)
We continue along.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1SQ4PYUuBUk/TQ6Db1uf0sI/AAAAAAAAB64/AW9mVYet19s/s400/DSCF4427.jpg)
Until we are back at the main club building, to complete out tour.
