Good to see my efforts are reaching their target audience....

Goos stuff. However, it doesn't mention the main problem with parking near the ground in that there is a 75% chance that either a) your hubcaps, b) your wing mirrors or c) all of the above are likely to have taken a stroll at some point during the 2nd half!


Worse that Liverpool on a Friday night :D

I was coaching there at the start of the season (with an AFC team I hasten to add!), and I cannot see how they can manage to fit in 700+ people at minimum! There is the main stand, which is a dump, and a smaller stand with around 80 seats, so this'll be an interesting one, and a good game too :D

Wasn't it condemned 20 years causing Rushden Town's demotion in the Southern League? :shock:

Probably, wouldn't surprise me, the state it's in, it looks like its being held as a temporary tip.

Still picking out the splinters in my a**e from sitting in that stand on my one and only visit to HR in the 80's to watch the Rockingham Rebels. :shock: Don't know if the Duke was playing that day because they all wore helmets so I wouldn't have recognised anyone. :D I think Bruce may have been on the PA. ;)

Anybody a bit concerned about this if the ground is so run down?

Surely if people stand all the way round the pitch, you could reach a thousand?

It certainly won't be the worst ground we visit this season....

I'm sure the UCL / FA Ground grading people will have thoroughly checked it out before passing it for football at this level.
