The changing rooms are still pretty similar, though the refs room in the video got changed back into a corridor when we had to increase changing rooms by a small amount for ground grading. We reinstituted the old players entry door from the 20's when we did that.
Left Hand (Away Chg Room for AFCRD Matches)
Right Hand (Home Chg Room for AFCRD Matches)
And from the other side - the same mirror is still there.
Corridor that was the old Refs Room - Original Stand Entry door from the 20's was put back, and both changing rooms expanded by .5m each to comply with modern regulations/grading. (Refs now in portacabins at the back of the stand).
Corridor from the other way around - as players come in that way. Direct onto pitch also. Very quick access from coaches parked outside front to changing room (was very handy when MK Dons brought all their kit in pre-season - not far to take it all).
[Note: For AFCRD matches the HOME changing room is now to the left - signage updated. RHUFC use the reverse.]
