Basic, as you would expect at this level,Step Seven, which is level eleven nationally, but better than some, fully railed off with dugouts, and and very nice club house, at this multi-sports facility.

The ground is down this side road, a few minutes from Fairlop, on the Central line. There are a number of sportsgrounds in this vicinity.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8efn5cZFMnA/T7-UpUE5ETI/AAAAAAAAAUo/Hzpbp8SdKuw/s400/DSCF8727.jpg)
The Redbridge Leisure Centre is along here too.

As you walk down, on the left, is Old Parkonians.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3pu2y8UD-ug/T7-UIY9rz6I/AAAAAAAAAUY/wGomfYz6hdQ/s400/DSCF8725.jpg)
At the end of the drive, turn left, along here, & the Frenford ground is at the end, club building past the car park.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EE3DXL8e7NU/T7-Tw4BUmFI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/8iGJRAtAO7M/s400/DSCF8724.jpg)
Follow the sign.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-29L_oUYTCaw/T7-TqhOdYRI/AAAAAAAAAUI/pjT-QKnS1Wo/s400/DSCF8723.jpg)
It's a good five minute walk from out on the main road, in total!
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PZM4jwv1RLM/T797HQCMOII/AAAAAAAAAIQ/Tvik4tUpa04/s400/DSCF8617.jpg)
Here we are, railed off pitch ahead.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ryhuJYu6urU/T797GwdrWnI/AAAAAAAAAIM/QXdN1FQNFo4/s400/DSCF8618.jpg)
Turning slightly, we see the dugouts, on this near side, which is where most of the specatators will stand.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-RAHgRjVUG0g/T797nNJ5EYI/AAAAAAAAAIc/ET_WlT13nQw/s400/DSCF8619.jpg)
Behind us is the car park, & the changing rooms & bar.

It's a smart modern building.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QRiyaBCrw-k/T7-DRD2dBZI/AAAAAAAAAMM/wqchkazazII/s400/DSCF8651.jpg)
This is inside the bar.

Impressive ceiling.

Back outside, we're in the corner, where we arrived, starting with our first corner flag shot.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CAQEAWWnFPs/T798Di_OLWI/AAAAAAAAAIs/MtX2coYKMvA/s400/DSCF8621.jpg)

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wGLTqHxzPa4/T798HBFaqXI/AAAAAAAAAI0/Z0uLTAj4oT4/s400/DSCF8622.jpg)
But we're going to head the other way round, clockwise. The pitch is simply railed off all the way round, grass underfoot, no hard standing at all.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-yZhNtUrt6m8/T798uHlyfCI/AAAAAAAAAJE/-77EGYkvglE/s400/DSCF8623.jpg)
Toward the dugouts, from behind the edge of the penalty area.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-oCXihR6YRKE/T798tNNMC-I/AAAAAAAAAI8/pFxh2fSuMGU/s400/DSCF8624.jpg)
At the goal now, with two club banners hanging up on the far side. Sadly I forgot to snap them properly before they were taken down, but we shall see one later...
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-oT-CqbutXz0/T799MKweMoI/AAAAAAAAAJM/f11dHnFWV10/s400/DSCF8625.jpg)
Directly behind the goal, a gap in the rail, for the goal to be wheeled away.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZOUVgQelRuA/T799OdHoUoI/AAAAAAAAAJU/QI5uSXKriHE/s400/DSCF8626.jpg)
And moving on past it, seeing over to the far side.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1e_ApzaDmU8/T799oteC2pI/AAAAAAAAAJc/8FY4B9a33C4/s400/DSCF8627.jpg)
The rail continues to the corner.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9lyr-ywk7rA/T799tCZ_NwI/AAAAAAAAAJk/H0yYQC7kkw0/s400/DSCF8628.jpg)
It turns at the corner.

![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kwmVv2vVyLc/T79_LMR3LPI/AAAAAAAAAKM/4xv_JBWTF0U/s400/DSCF8633.jpg)

![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2QA_kn_qPWE/T7-Bon3-RhI/AAAAAAAAALc/G69UOzt0qb0/s400/DSCF8644.jpg)
And a close up to the home dugout, with their fans' flag to the left of it.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JQ_qVV6nyzw/T7-BaM9E6cI/AAAAAAAAALU/abI85zpu7Mw/s400/DSCF8643.jpg)

Now we're behind the open stretch at this end.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--cU3J0BxEcw/T7-GTVK_pOI/AAAAAAAAANs/OAmHL3rTF6A/s400/DSCF8665.jpg)
A quick turn down the open side.

Down come those signs before i've taken a proper picture of them, should have done it at half time, instead of looking at the bar. Grr!

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fxh3bdMCxXI/T7-IP4_j-NI/AAAAAAAAAOk/y4O7uCqlgpA/s400/DSCF8672.jpg)
Behind us are the marking of a closed pitch, taken over by cricket for the summer.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gvxHbdtwm9g/T7-IV9fuDsI/AAAAAAAAAOs/t2b3HkHmjzU/s400/DSCF8673.jpg)

![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4FJSWI_1Mnk/T7-I1o9Y49I/AAAAAAAAAO4/ABoPsYGMG-I/s400/DSCF8674.jpg)
As I noted, most of the crowd hug the rail down this side.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-npT41lP4LFg/T7-I04BAmcI/AAAAAAAAAO0/XDEcTGfgHeY/s400/DSCF8675.jpg)
Some are fans of either side, others neutral groundhoppers.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3j6jsOBQXSE/T7-JUkltW9I/AAAAAAAAAPE/6cfSTzcVryM/s400/DSCF8676.jpg)
Almost at the first of the dugouts. I somehow don't think the woman in her own fold up garden chair is too interested in the game, but it was a nice afternoon!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qkc4WyOVFo0/T7-JVSPyZNI/AAAAAAAAAPM/Vpqkvlrdyl0/s400/DSCF8677.jpg)
