How do you work that out - you are 9th in your league?

Eh ?

 

We are top of the league have another look at the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division.

That's easy! Best is Rugby. A proper football ground with decent covered terracing and nice friendly people. Worst is AFC Hayes. Just imagine the polar opposite of what I said was good about Rugby.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Without doubt Rugby is the best. I also quite like Barton and Uxbridge, ground with a bit of character about them.

[wheelchair rebel]

Rugby is no good for wheelchair users. Access from the bar to the ground is poor,The door is too narrow for wheelchairs and there are steps

there anyway...As a wheelchair user you could go into the ground and climb up stairs-if you can-towards the bar but as already said ,there are still steps and  a narrow door.......

The disabled loos are in the bar and you can not get into the bar because-----

It does have a disabled area that gives you a good view and is not obstructed by people standing in front of it---

At least AFC Hayes is nearly flat all around the ground. But not a disabled toilet anyway on site and only stairs for access to the bar===No good for wheelchair users--

Very friendly people at rugby but not at hayes

[Mark44]

Rugby and Uxbridge my favourites

 

Don't like afc Hayes and not too keen on Potters bar

 

Is Dom Rhone still with you savage bee

[Sir Rebel1965]

Apologies - wrong Hanwell!

[Stuntman Mark]

Best ground - Rugby (also best pubs in town)

Best bar - Barton Rovers

Best pitch - Dunstable (bit of a soulless ground but decent modern facility)

Worst ground - AFC Hayes

[Hammer_rebel]

I personally thought afc Hayes were really friendly wen we went there's recently had a laugh with guys on door and lady who worked in tea hut was lovely! Toilets weren't so nice

Yeah Rhone has done well for us he has played mainly at left back and chipped in with 7 goals so far this season hasn't played much in recent weeks though think he has been away and injured.

 

Thank you to you all for your info regarding best & worst grounds   

 

Rugby FC does sound like my sort of non-league football ground so i hope they don't go up

 

Went to Uxbridge FC for the first time last season and I liked there ground as well a nice old main stand and cover behind both goals.

 

Ive seen AFC Hayes FCs ground but ive never watched a game there.

[staines_rebel_Jr]

I think I'm right in saying rugby is the only ground to have cover on all four sides of the pitch. (By far the best ground in the league)

 

Uxbridge worth a mention due to cover at both ends of the pitch plus good seating on the side.

 

Most grounds only have cover at one end but there are some with no cover at either end.

 

Holloways park (slough + beaconsfield) is probably about average maybe slightly above average

[Ian]

Uxbridge has covering on all four sides also.

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

So easy (and joining in here with everyone)

 

Rugby

Hayes (although Potters bar looks like a big bomb has hit it also)

[HorshamRebel]

What about Kettering's temporary ground, hardly up to scratch for this level, let alone the next.

Marquees put up for the covered areas

[Mark44]

True, Latimer park was not great when we went there, however, I hear they have done it up a lot since. I believe they have cut down all the trees behind one goal and pushed back and also I think we must remember that when we went there it was a horrible day so we noticed the cover more.

 

I think Leighton is a nice little ground. Quite a big stand on the side and a good amount of terracing and cover

[SloughRebelBoy]

Out of interest, does anyone still play at Ketterings old (Rockingham Road?) stadium?

 

Who plays at Rushden and Diamonds old stadium?

[Savagebee]

I think I'm right in saying rugby is the only ground to have cover on all four sides of the pitch.

 

Doesn't Egham Town FC have cover on all four sides ?

 

 (although Potters bar looks like a big bomb has hit it also)

 

Been to Potters Bar FC as Hadley FC who are in our league ground share with them they have cover on 3 sides of ground be it small cover behind the goal and a strange little small stand by the dug outs.

 

Any grounds with terracing that have old skool metal bars to lean on and hang flags off ?

 

Also what clubs sing for there team ? as Hertford Town FC supporters are the only ones that sing in our league. 

 

Thank you to you all for your info regarding best & worst grounds   

[Tom]

At least these clubs have there own ground

 

One day...

In terms of singing and chanting, hardly any teams do.

 

those with the big crowds do ie Kettering, Rugby and Slough. I think I remember Chertsey had a few chants when we visited which was a pleasant surprise.

 

most clubs either don't or just have one or two songs.

 

Not trying to sound arrogant but im fairly sure Slough are the loudest.
