Here is the entrance.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErYEzORmnI/AAAAAAAABCA/I5sZAQyU6co/s400/DSCF7323.jpg)
Outside the match board hasn't been updated over the summer.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErYALwvV0I/AAAAAAAABB4/tOGGZyv_2DA/s400/DSCF7320.jpg)
Despite that there's plenty of pre-season matches advertised.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErYB-z0seI/AAAAAAAABB8/-52LwoiUlS4/s400/DSCF7321.jpg)
A sign from the main club sponsors welcomes you to the ground.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXVT9H9eI/AAAAAAAABAs/uccbESNs-Fs/s400/DSCF7300.jpg)
As you walk in you are in the corner of the ground, set back from the pitch, where the main club buildings are. Here is the 'tunnel' from the changing rooms.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErYJrtZKII/AAAAAAAABCI/fGvUlH8suC0/s400/DSCF7264.jpg)
as we're looking, changing rooms on the left; bar on the right.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErVzJpS0RI/AAAAAAAAA-g/gI1hN0-ocrY/s400/DSCF7265.jpg)
The pitch is very dry, as it's been a hot summer, as you can see. We look over it from the first corner flag.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErV1paf7MI/AAAAAAAAA-k/g827BPLFO8g/s400/DSCF7266.jpg)
To our right, behind the goal, it is open, with a small covered terrace directly behind the goal.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErV3_yx_dI/AAAAAAAAA-o/qJpiDFL5VVM/s400/DSCF7267.jpg)
down the side, which is the clockwise direction we are heading, it is open hard standing, shale behind it; with a stand further along.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErV64rhb6I/AAAAAAAAA-s/g9GLZKt-knw/s400/DSCF7268.jpg)
On the left, as we walk along, is a portakabin, converted to a tea bar.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErV-kLYjqI/AAAAAAAAA-w/dgbEX4uJWC0/s400/DSCF7269.jpg)
As we walk along we can see the seats. Before that there's another portakabin on the left.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWBS9Rb-I/AAAAAAAAA-0/bFEjpYeCDs0/s400/DSCF7270.jpg)
This is the club shop. I spent at least a quarter of an hour in there!
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWFFyVwqI/AAAAAAAAA-4/Ed8-ZP9en7s/s400/DSCF7271.jpg)
The seats are set back from the pitch, why, I'm not sure? Presumably the barriers are to prevent people standing in front of them.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWIRWV2tI/AAAAAAAAA-8/etpth8dae-M/s400/DSCF7273.jpg)
Here w have a closer look at the stand. it's popular today, as it gives much needed protection from the sun.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWLaptxsI/AAAAAAAAA_A/5EJVZKZYN-s/s400/DSCF7274.jpg)
Here we look back along it, from toward the middle.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWOeam8AI/AAAAAAAAA_E/z2TYv-IQosw/s400/DSCF7275.jpg)
And then onwards, the other direction.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWQy9qfNI/AAAAAAAAA_I/-uJJ0kUIyqg/s400/DSCF7276.jpg)
This is the view from the cntre of it, not bad, apart from the pylon!
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWVDe5WsI/AAAAAAAAA_M/SVZucc4fxdU/s400/DSCF7277.jpg)
Here we look down the front of it.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWb4Fl42I/AAAAAAAAA_U/mWG2kxo7oMM/s400/DSCF7279.jpg)
And then more open standing beyond.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWY0d3HlI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/gTMJANWP6jg/s400/DSCF7278.jpg)
It goes right to the corner.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWe5P2UaI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/pBkuQ2XxknQ/s400/DSCF7280.jpg)
It's very open here, but also very green, thanks to the surrounding trees.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWhipGG7I/AAAAAAAAA_g/A0RqE_Sq6OQ/s400/DSCF7281.jpg)
More open hard standing behind the goal.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWj5kF5qI/AAAAAAAAA_k/Y6GuBYbyeSE/s400/DSCF7282.jpg)
From where we glance back to the main stand.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWmVpaGJI/AAAAAAAAA_o/98eHHxwiW9E/s400/DSCF7283.jpg)
The hard standing 'thins' as we get behind the goal itself.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWo8cF5lI/AAAAAAAAA_s/1ULE0Zy_u58/s400/DSCF7284.jpg)
Time to pause, to catch a little goalmouth action.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWrvucM6I/AAAAAAAAA_w/QYy8Mr4FLTw/s400/DSCF7285.jpg)
The path then continues to the next corner.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWuX2QzOI/AAAAAAAAA_0/JQxGqRcWVTo/s400/DSCF7286.jpg)
Before we reach that side we look back behind the goal.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErW0SawppI/AAAAAAAAA_8/lK6T7rdtgAI/s400/DSCF7288.jpg)
Completely open along this side, the shale further along 'doubling up' as extra car parking.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErW22K0ihI/AAAAAAAABAA/719ZdNuvnAk/s400/DSCF7289.jpg)
here we reach the first of the dugouts. That water is needed in the heat!
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErW6B7hERI/AAAAAAAABAE/Zrggr-6uq00/s400/DSCF7290.jpg)
This is the dugout from the front.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErWxrG_bYI/AAAAAAAAA_4/UiPry9g3kMw/s400/DSCF7287.jpg)
Moving along, past the 'brave' part of the crowd thar can take the sun!
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErW8lT4OZI/AAAAAAAABAI/qDws346g-JQ/s400/DSCF7291.jpg)
A bit more, from on the pitch.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErW_Vf8xsI/AAAAAAAABAM/tMSiCHNqE2A/s400/DSCF7292.jpg)
Then we look over to the main stand, across the halfway line.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXDl3lvVI/AAAAAAAABAQ/VsvALpQiebA/s400/DSCF7293.jpg)
And then onwards, to the next dugout.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXGDy6g2I/AAAAAAAABAU/1PfsGnQdiWs/s400/DSCF7295.jpg)
Now we look, from this side, to the cover behind the goal.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXI_CihOI/AAAAAAAABAY/IzEIQmB44vY/s400/DSCF7296.jpg)
Clearly a car park at this end.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXL84hIpI/AAAAAAAABAc/P2_cJ5bNusM/s400/DSCF7297.jpg)
More hoardings from the sponsors.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXPLPTkPI/AAAAAAAABAk/RymnI0ih3DE/s400/DSCF7298.jpg)
Behind the goal it is open, with the small terrace in the centre.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXSSoZ0LI/AAAAAAAABAo/tAgZrptJbTk/s400/DSCF7299.jpg)
From this end we turn back to the dugout side.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXXmqNsgI/AAAAAAAABAw/6-CFBrsWP-o/s400/DSCF7301.jpg)
This is the home one.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXaZa2FlI/AAAAAAAABA0/fXRVi8lQgFQ/s400/DSCF7302.jpg)
Only a small terrace, but it still provides a bit of shade.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXcrQCByI/AAAAAAAABA8/e47kgA_Nr8c/s400/DSCF7303.jpg)
Sponsors emblazoned on the rear.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErX-QMvwRI/AAAAAAAABB0/0hl5KpIVNwk/s400/DSCF7319.jpg)
Wider hard standing in front of it.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXfNZ5lVI/AAAAAAAABBA/b1S8jqMjrB4/s400/DSCF7304.jpg)
Standing under the roof we look over toward the dugouts.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXlVDXIPI/AAAAAAAABBI/etqau9AdT08/s400/DSCF7307.jpg)
Then directly down the pitch.
![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXi3nqrkI/AAAAAAAABBE/wZNpprJOCh8/s400/DSCF7306.jpg)
And, lastly, eyes to the left, toward the main stand.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXn3F5j8I/AAAAAAAABBM/jKFNDxRGGX8/s400/DSCF7308.jpg)
Then it's toward the clubhouse in the corner, where we came in.
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXqNrggEI/AAAAAAAABBQ/Zz9c2EdGjE8/s400/DSCF7309.jpg)
Inside there is a club flag on the wall.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErX6N1XYBI/AAAAAAAABBs/KJS-LY06sxE/s400/DSCF7317.jpg)
As well as championship flags.
![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErX8C2rtjI/AAAAAAAABBw/Ftj_B3BTIyo/s400/DSCF7318.jpg)
Then back out to watch a bit more of the game.
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXwKW6OrI/AAAAAAAABBY/HwhW6OAjP5I/s400/DSCF7312.jpg)
![](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErXzq1eGbI/AAAAAAAABBc/2ZteAJMb830/s400/DSCF7313.jpg)
![](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VsAwAE2GbLc/TErX2a0hGyI/AAAAAAAABBg/fLz5m51WvS4/s400/DSCF7314.jpg)
And then it's time to go, back through the entrance.
