I had a ride past the old ground the other day got out and had a stroll across the farmers field to check the old ground out.

To my surprise its all still there but left to go to ruin.

Why Why Why???

 

Can anyone give me some history behind this also who owns it? and is there any easy access to it apart from climbing across the farmers field.

Does anyone know of any references to it on any websites???

 

Such a waste!

[Hookey]

I can hear Coups' hoofs thundering towards this thread as I type!!!!

PMSL

[MCP]

that would be never then yes

[Jenko]

Eton Manor enquired about using it. Apparently the guy who owns it won't let anyone use it agaon because the last senior to use it vandilised it or something from what I heard.

 

There are so many derelict grounds around London its sad.

Ron Ayes who owns the cafe and garden centre next door owns it. He's a bit of an of git unfortunately.

[MCP]

it also had a horrible pitch

[luckypinkpants]

I don't remember the garden centre pitch!

[MCP]

i was obviously talking about the cafe pitch

[Brewerytown]

You can find it on the Google Earth site, the stands are still there, but looks like someone has tried to plough the pitch up. Not much different from when we played there.

i remember playing on it in that supporters vs players game a few years back and it was completly horrible to play on then in the summer

i'm sorry to say i don't remember your goal was it in the first half as all i remember first half was larking about on the bench waiting to come on

one of my most vivid memories of that game was watching troy jump up in front of me and his feet being at about the same height as my head although i was a lot smaller then

[coupwotcoup]
