Nearly There!

Car Parking: S.P. Rating: (2) This is where Glenavon fall down, I have never found my way into their car park. Maybe that's my fault, but somehow I doubt it, I usually have to find on street parking. If I'm early (two thirtish), I can usually get a spot on the road outside the ground, probably on the ample footpath, if arriving later it's a matter of parking somewhere on the main road.

Access: S.P. Rating: (4) Like lots of other grounds Glenavon have both sets of supporters entering by adjacent turnstiles (supposedly they are going to have separate entrances in the near future) . On the plus side visitors are segregated from home fans once inside, but the turnstiles are akin to trying on clothes that are too small, breathtaking.

Spectating Facilities: S.P. Rating: (6) This is without doubt one of the best away grounds for seeing the action. From the middle of the stand it's not possible to see all of the touchlines as the stand is too close but it's pretty good. There's is a wee bit of a security worry as it's possible to get access onto the pitch, a worry for players and fans alike.

Toilets: S.P. Rating: (6) The toilets at Lurgan are among the best, not as good as Windsor Park, but at least 'they' were open. The building itself is quite cold but then again who wants to hang around in those places (only perverts), but they fulfil their need adequately.

Playing Surface: S.P. Rating: (6) The pitch is fairly good but there appears to be a low part running close to the centre for about 20 yards. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say this was a drainage ditch which had sunk, but all in all the surface appears to be good and is conducive to good football as both teams proved on the day.
