These are the main turnstiles on the road.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9wBUnW4I/AAAAAAAABt4/MA8swYUUi_g/s400/DSCF1569.jpg)
The bus stops right outside at this bus stop.

To the right of the turnstiles, by the car park, is the club bar.

A billboard on the main road, as they try to compete with the many local pubs.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv92vy7ZvI/AAAAAAAABuI/mun5KxTFkzU/s400/DSCF1572.jpg)
We are going to start our tour from the 'bar corner'; I may well be ignoring this sign! ;-)
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9HCKrEgI/AAAAAAAABs0/12VDm-bKaqc/s400/DSCF1553.jpg)
Behind the goal at hte turnstile end there is the club shop, then tea bar, hard standing in front, before terracing further on.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9OqdSH9I/AAAAAAAABtE/GQEdrICUGyw/s400/DSCF1556.jpg)
A whiteboard on the side of the shop, for team changes.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9QFZOZBI/AAAAAAAABtI/jWPhb_fD_S8/s400/DSCF1557.jpg)
And an advert for a special charity pin badge.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9RatmL1I/AAAAAAAABtM/ze-p0BtGzH4/s400/DSCF1558.jpg)
Here is the tea bar, look carefully for the plaque between the second & third green hatches.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9TUcv5SI/AAAAAAAABtQ/94SgB6UX-d8/s400/DSCF1559.jpg)
We knew him at the time, he played against us.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9VpuuFFI/AAAAAAAABtU/14Yz0MyRNVM/s400/DSCF1560.jpg)
From on the pitch you can see the clubhouse, behind the teabar.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7WE2uNII/AAAAAAAABqE/F45CmF14qhY/s400/DSCF1512.jpg)
Behind the goal, we see the main stand, to our left, and the big open terrace at the far end.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9Y-D7tiI/AAAAAAAABtY/SoB9lwM6XhQ/s400/DSCF1561.jpg)
We now reach the old wooden terrace behind this goal, covered in the centre. Back at our promotion game i mentioned, almost two decades ago, I had the winning golden goal number (three minutes) but when we scored I lost in the melee as we all went mental! I told irvine, in their club shop, that I had won it, but lost it, & he kindly paid me out afterwards, as he knew me & trusted me, after no-one else clearly claimed it. That's exactly the sort of friendly Club they were.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9cGnMNgI/AAAAAAAABtc/2Ox-aiUqh1U/s400/DSCF1562.jpg)
The ticket may still be under there somewhere! ;-)
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9elW4HII/AAAAAAAABtg/_xxGKc1wR68/s400/DSCF1563.jpg)
The covered terrace, from the other side of the fence.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7TooG4bI/AAAAAAAABqA/drky8sIUeyE/s400/DSCF1511.jpg)
Behind the goal (yes, I realise it's been taken down!) we see the main stand.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9h8SQ0hI/AAAAAAAABtk/j_nGa4W7gHc/s400/DSCF1564.jpg)
The wooden terrace goes up to the corner, the gaps lead out to the turnstiles behind, which we saw out on the street.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9k3qZSCI/AAAAAAAABto/XDYTRQY6yL0/s400/DSCF1565.jpg)
An appeal to fans was still pinned onto the back of the terrace.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9nNB9l6I/AAAAAAAABts/12COBARV0Og/s400/DSCF1566.jpg)
As was this poster, for their Trust AGM.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9pFNXoAI/AAAAAAAABtw/JdE66tEaY7E/s400/DSCF1567.jpg)
Looking back along the wooden terrace.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv6xhYAyKI/AAAAAAAABpA/JUQoB6DXX3I/s400/DSCF1497.jpg)
Same here, but ful length.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv6zxhPfyI/AAAAAAAABpE/J1MCaOkr_7o/s400/DSCF1498.jpg)
The 'corner flag-less' shot, you can see some more cover on the far side.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv61j7PmiI/AAAAAAAABpI/wKGCQYkDEDc/s400/DSCF1499.jpg)
Looking along the stand side now. open hard standing, up to the seats.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv64ludFiI/AAAAAAAABpM/zHIwCUcJiZM/s400/DSCF1500.jpg)
I'm not entirely sure, but there may have been some old buildings here in the past. I think the tea bar used to be around this spot.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv675SiP1I/AAAAAAAABpQ/FSGmChn_WEM/s400/DSCF1501.jpg)
From the side it's back over to the covered end.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv6-NxaS-I/AAAAAAAABpU/iqwTUBalDGY/s400/DSCF1502.jpg)
Almost at the stand.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7CD_XVUI/AAAAAAAABpg/nD1tQ4Tvu50/s400/DSCF1504.jpg)
Before we get there another glance to where we've come from.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7FHG3Z2I/AAAAAAAABpk/aTP26VHYDPQ/s400/DSCF1505.jpg)

![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7bH7ISyI/AAAAAAAABqM/kyhRhc5y0Bo/s400/DSCF1514.jpg)
The tannoy box & press area. This was from where the trophies were always presented at their tournaments.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7KE_W6xI/AAAAAAAABpw/w4r1-bd6YP4/s400/DSCF1507.jpg)
In the centre is the officials area.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7L4O1dcI/AAAAAAAABp0/yGKglQp8qy4/s400/DSCF1508.jpg)
Which we see properly now.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7N6-5G0I/AAAAAAAABp4/wpu8dZwjqvU/s400/DSCF1509.jpg)
The players tunnel, which leads into what must be the smallest changing rooms at this level, sadly I've got no photos to show you exactly how small they are!
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7QcxFMkI/AAAAAAAABp8/pVt1cxBWby4/s400/DSCF1510.jpg)
Stepping back, a wider angle.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7hDez9xI/AAAAAAAABqU/JCNbq8TgiKw/s400/DSCF1516.jpg)
Under the roof, from the 'posh seats', we turn right.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7weJKv-I/AAAAAAAABq0/pxRgvg00vB8/s400/DSCF1523.jpg)
Directly over the halfway line.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7rpwjqsI/AAAAAAAABqs/B153dWNt6CM/s400/DSCF1521.jpg)
And to the left, the large terrace in the background.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7twNpDHI/AAAAAAAABqw/waCkd57ylZA/s400/DSCF1522.jpg)
Another view over the halfway line, you can see the cover & dugouts opposite.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7yELAkhI/AAAAAAAABq4/Izr1NumqV-s/s400/DSCF1524.jpg)
Old bench seating continues along the rest of the stand.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv70cxlokI/AAAAAAAABq8/VSexoFgewnA/s400/DSCF1525.jpg)
A memorial plaque on the back remembering a lifelong fan.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv72H5oloI/AAAAAAAABrA/pSgv2HCTeWU/s400/DSCF1526.jpg)
The front of the stand, from the far end of the planks.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv77UbIHHI/AAAAAAAABrI/BVNjOkOiOGU/s400/DSCF1528.jpg)
It continues with more bucket seats past the benches. This stand is a real mix!
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv74522IhI/AAAAAAAABrE/MC_7fpQ4-MY/s400/DSCF1527.jpg)
This is where we're heading.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8B8dQ6JI/AAAAAAAABrQ/EWb2K2qIbcs/s400/DSCF1530.jpg)
A hard standing path takes us to the corner.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7-11OyPI/AAAAAAAABrM/pefKtCA3-Mo/s400/DSCF1529.jpg)
Turning round, glancing back.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8G1Z9n9I/AAAAAAAABrY/011fH1wwfzk/s400/DSCF1532.jpg)
This is a substantial terrace, rumours of how it was built I won't repeat here, as I'm not sure how legal it all was at the time! ;-)
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8EKmiOVI/AAAAAAAABrU/J2_VTnD6UmU/s400/DSCF1531.jpg)
It is an impressive end, barriers smartly painted in club colours.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8Jc1l9fI/AAAAAAAABrc/bAGO1A3dbh4/s400/DSCF1533.jpg)
From the back we have the far side as backdrop.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8Lwoi36I/AAAAAAAABrg/GGzN08Qc-Dc/s400/DSCF1534.jpg)
This end is set back a little from the pitch, & has a curve in it.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8O6_5tOI/AAAAAAAABrk/9Z4AXUyz_yw/s400/DSCF1535.jpg)
Still at the back ,we see along the stand side.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8TOhbPiI/AAAAAAAABro/0IktdCq3eZY/s400/DSCF1536.jpg)
Straight down the pitch.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8YcbyMMI/AAAAAAAABrs/udMLX9SEpAM/s400/DSCF1537.jpg)
Before heading onward.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8h0OXwzI/AAAAAAAABr4/NWDmm8vG6ps/s400/DSCF1539.jpg)
The large terrace from on the pitch.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7d16q1uI/AAAAAAAABqQ/rASDG5-_y2o/s400/DSCF1515.jpg)
Almost at the corner we now see over the other side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8kyer0UI/AAAAAAAABr8/FSgtrEJpqmI/s400/DSCF1540.jpg)
The stand from this corner.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8nSs8NgI/AAAAAAAABsE/VCu6fLWhXFU/s400/DSCF1541.jpg)
Down at the front, this must be one of the best terraces at their level of the pyramid.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8vDp5jwI/AAAAAAAABsQ/2ZAo9epI75c/s400/DSCF1544.jpg)
Over the pitch, from this corner.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8sSWEg_I/AAAAAAAABsM/ET-W4hljQHA/s400/DSCF1543.jpg)
Moving along the last side now.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8pZVTWAI/AAAAAAAABsI/dIBFKVLFGiE/s400/DSCF1542.jpg)
We come to more open wooden plank terracing. This ground is such a delightful contrast.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8xRi_5KI/AAAAAAAABsU/FTaiBEO5HvA/s400/DSCF1545.jpg)
The centre section is covered.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8zjitrMI/AAAAAAAABsY/LsNQs8PXd5Y/s400/DSCF1546.jpg)
Well maintained, despite looking old fashioned.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv81rDsSFI/AAAAAAAABsc/gvuYtGI6SQk/s400/DSCF1547.jpg)
Looking from on the pitch, you realise it's actually two sections of cover.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7XwH35DI/AAAAAAAABqI/5jJfYJVDckk/s400/DSCF1513.jpg)
The first section.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7nYOSCiI/AAAAAAAABqg/mvKuMfYNVRY/s400/DSCF1519.jpg)
And the other one.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7jhhWO_I/AAAAAAAABqY/kt-u4BTi1Gs/s400/DSCF1517.jpg)
Back on the supporters side of the fence, we are behind one of the dugouts.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv84hhCBbI/AAAAAAAABsg/8JySNpLERT4/s400/DSCF1548.jpg)
A little worse for wear. Punched by a frustrated manager, maybe?
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv87Wet5QI/AAAAAAAABsk/uFBIXadao9Y/s400/DSCF1549.jpg)
Here we see the home dugout, with extension!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv7ln0N0FI/AAAAAAAABqc/jZ7gyPKGu7M/s400/DSCF1518.jpg)
From this side, we look over to the end where we started.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv8-lrAK1I/AAAAAAAABso/TrVC45AAxb8/s400/DSCF1550.jpg)
Past the cover is the last stretch of terrace, more of the wooden variety.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9Ag63T-I/AAAAAAAABss/e6r_ehhb6HM/s400/DSCF1551.jpg)
Our final look at the covered end.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_eG-h-3kiVVA/TAv9EdvNZ9I/AAAAAAAABsw/RjyL1Gt2MaQ/s400/DSCF1552.jpg)
We have now completed our circuit, at the corner where we began.
