I like it too. Shame I won't get to go there for a long time if ever again. Dorsetshire Constabulary have banned you from entering the County again, have they?  Wot? They who be Civiloised?? More to do with the total capitulation of the SUFC playing staff - but you knew that really didn't you!  |

Tis sad really. Even at our level, given a choice between, say, Telford, Dorchester, or Hucknall, Worcester; I know precisely where I would choose - but times change and nostalgia-mongers such as I have to live on memories....  Oi! What's wrong with the mighty Avenue cough *Jewsons* cough stadium?? I likes it. By far the purdiest ground in our league and I'm guessing will continue to be so in the Suthern league too. I'd like to think if I was a fan of another club then Dorch would be a great away day - pubwise we rule, 95% of our fans are nice and we sell thimbles! Cramanetly some people have high standards!! Nothing wrong with Telford either.  Would argue soul-wise it has come off better than most modern grounds. |

New Wembley's ok, but I did prefer standing among the 100,000 at the old one, more atmosphere??? Dorchester is lovely, except for the skinny turnstiles. Telford was ok from what I remember. Is Salisbury finished yet? Very good when it is, brilliant beer in the bar!! Like Havant. Looking forward (?) to Dartford. Don't like Kingsmeadow, nothing to do with the ground, although the enormous cob webs in the stand the last time I went were rather a put off. Hopefully AFC have got rid of them. Bring back Richmond Road!! Went to Derby recently, just like Bolton, Southampton and the like, prefer the old grounds!! As for GGL, well it really needs £1000s spent on it! Sorry all, but it's dropping to pieces! Anyone who has visited this season will agree. The main stand is ok, although the dressing rooms need full refurbishment, otherwise internally thanks to a willing band of volunteers, it's ok. The Gander Green Lane end, is not bad, but the covered terrace only covers 3/4 of what it should. (Planning problems) There are no toilet facilities at this end. The 'park' side of the ground, has another covered terrace. This ok, but only covers 3/4 of he length of the pitch, but there are toilet facilities toward the Collingwood end of the ground. The Collingwood end its self is just a large terrace. There has been no real investment in the actual infrastructure of the ground for years. I'm sure behind the scenes money has been spent, but with very little noticeable change. This is of course not ignoring the sterling work carried out by the decorating team, as mentioned above and the Trust who in real terms can only really scrap the surface of the problems. Rant over!! If Ambersal, AA, Nick, Nafi or any other Us supporters have any comments, please... |

Not at the moment.
I like Bath's house.
