Stangmore Stinks!

Car Parking: S.P. rating 3, Yes there is car parking, but there is not adequate car parking, there are no definitions of where to park, there is a steward in attendance but cars still park 'willy nilly' and I doubt if it holds more than 100 cars. If you want to use the car park get there early. Exiting the car park is no picnic either, as they tend to just open the one gate. The car park to my mind is too close to the ground, danger of cars being damaged by footballs.

Ground Access: S.P. rating 2, Turnstiles are antiquated, there are only two, so if there was a huge influx of fans they couldn't cope, staff are fine but not too courteous and none too helpful either.

Spectating Views: S.P. rating 4, If you are not at the front you can't see the touch lines and even then you have to lean out, there is no segregation which could lead to trouble although the banter is usually good natured, but I think it's a disaster waiting to happen. The stand is pathetic, they still think they're an intermediate club, it's time they got their act together, this is the 21st century after all.

Toilet Facilities: S.P. rating 5, The toilets for some reason are at least a 100 yards from the entrance, though small they were clean, but had the paper towels in upside down, probably a money saving exercise.

Playing Surface: S.P. rating 6, The much vaunted playing surface at Stangmore fails in my opinion badly due to the slope from the social club end to the other (I have no name for this end as yet), otherwise it's fair but seemed rather bouncy and in need of a roller, but for an Intermediate league club, fairly good.
