Bedfont Green

[jayjay]

The Club are delighted to announce signing with Windsor & Eton Football Club to share their excellent Stag Meadow ground next season.

 

The facilities at the St. Leonards Road are excellent with possibly one of the best playing sufaces in non-league football and will host BGFC until 2010 with an option to extend the deal.

 

We will add directions to the ground on this website very soon.

 

The Reserves and Under 18s will continue to play out of Avenue Park which is currently undergoing major works on the playing surface, due to be completed for the start of August.

Interesting move, a fair way out though. Stag Meadow is one of my favourite grounds. They must have done a bit of work on the pitch, as the last time I went there with AFCW (2 seasons ago?) it was terrible. Looked like a tractor had gone down one side!

[johncrow]

Its obvious that they need a ground of that size to get all their fans in.

O dear another chairmans folly!

[Teflon]

Strange as they had agreed to go to Hampton & Richmond, what happened to that agreement ??

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

probably still going to use that ground too, I think they are playing Monopoly website says they have half a dozen mens sides.

 

this groundshare thing is ridiculous,how does this one fit within the rules?

 

what news tomorrow?

hanworth villa to rent viking sports? staines llamas to share with staines town?

another two relegated from the coco?

 

 

luckily i havent been permanently mentally scarred by the guildford and dorking fiasco of the mid 70s.......

john crow you seem against all the groundshares being discussed apart from the one at Meadowbank.

 

If Ive got that right could you explain why you think the Meadowbank one works well for both parties?

[royals26]

I thought you (?) were going to move in with H&R for the season?

 

... and are you ever likely to use your own ground (Ave Pk) for first team footy (I still haven't been there - tried once on a B/H and couldn't find it!) At the time none of the 'locals' we asked had heard of you either. Was intending to go this season before Neasden F. went under.

 

I hear you've put up a slightly bigger sign on the A40 now?

 

Ta.

 

PS I'm not quite sure quite why RTFC/BAD - LDB has posted the link to H&R's ground above - presumably cos he too had read that you were based there next season?

Oh! and the link from the 'pyramidpassion' page to H&R is an old one - their newer site is now @:-

Hampton & Richmond website

 

Stag Meadow seems to be a bit of a NL Hostel - always seems to have somebody or other as 'lodgers'.

Stag Meadow is a lovely ground. Loads of work have been to the pitch over the last season or so, including automatic watering and drainage.

 

I know W & Etons Director of Football well, and have been invited there on several occasions. A very friendly club !

 

Nice one Bedfont Green.

[Jurg78]

BG here I coma as Stag Meadow is about 5 mins from my house!

[SurreyLegend]

And here I was thinking that you and JJ were coming to play for me

[duncs]

SL how did you find your first season in management was it easy for you or did it come as a bit of a culture shock,its not as easy as some would like to think and can often backfire if you can't take to it properly, remembering you have to be the one who is setting the rules and not a player anymore who just wants to play and have the crack.

[TRS]

There is a big sign on the A40 re Bedfont Green as have seen it a few times. I've also never been there though. When AFCW played the now defunct Viking Greenford in the CCL, it was switched to Hayes FC so missed out then.

 

I think H&R have had to upgrade their ground a bit more to qualify for the play-offs for Blue Sq Prem (they lost the play-off final in the end). Not been for a year or two, although will get to go next season now. They have also rebuilt the clubhouse which is now very swish. That newish stand behind the goal with the red & blue seats looks like a shrunken Holmesdale end at Selhurst!

[Jurg78]

I'll consider if JJ does!!

[Gussy]

JJ's Hartley Bound SL, and Jurgs is sniffing around Bedfont Green but big Lee Pearce will have something to say about that

[Jurg78]

He will probably try and eat me

[SurreyLegend]

JJ does not even speak anymore as he is focused on his Judo.

 

First year has been interesting as you dont relise how much work goes into the preperation as a player you just turn up. There is no summer rest as you chase good players like JJ and Jurg.

[duncs]

yer we haven't really stopped either we have allready spoken to and seen a few players must say things are looking pretty good, the problem is this year before you know it the season will be here, we have a number of freindlies for pre season but of course training comes first and we start on the 24th of june

[SurreyLegend]

We are planning on starting Pre-Season on June 26th. Nice light run through to get them back into things on the first night and then start building it all up. We are ready on the friendly side and training plans. Just got to speak to a couple of more players and we will be there ready to try and take the Lammas title, which they are favorites for again.
