New (Grovesnor) Dump!

Car parking: S.P. rating: 3. Used to be the best ground for car parking, now it’s a joke. For some reason we’re not allowed round the back of the ground anymore, probably their version of progress.

Ease of access: S.P. rating: 3. Access is okay but there appears to be only two turnstiles and when we played there this season only one was operating, on the night that was okay, but if there had been a big crowd, I shudder to think what the consequences could have been.

Spectating facilities: S.P rating: 2. Spectating wise this ground is only outdone by Coleraine for inadequate facilities for us punters. To sit in the Grandstand is to view the action from a long distance and to stand under the cover at the far side is a poor view as the ground is beyond the greyhound track. On the plus side it’s now possible to stand beside the track as they’ve put up a boundary fence

Toilets: S.P. rating: 1. Only Porta-loos which is only slightly better than nothing.

Playing surface: S.P. rating: 4. Hard to rate this surface as to the naked eye it looks okay, but it suits the home teams type of play, ‘boot it up the field’ and hope it falls to a home player, rarely is there ever a lot of football played on it.
