Crystal Clear!

Car Parking: S.P. Rating: (8) Crystal Park has a really good car park for a first division club, with a proper surface and clear car parking lines. It is not the biggest, but a lot better laid out than most Premier league clubs, a pat on the back for Banbridge Town and their directors.

Access: S.P. Rating: (4) Only two turnstiles, which with a large crowd could be dangerous, but adequate for a first division club, akin to Stangmore Park and the likes.

Spectating Facilities: S.P. Rating: (5) There is a small stand with two rows of seats which were ignored by most fans who preferred to stand at the back. The view wasn't by any means perfect, as parts of the touchline were out of sight, but compared to many, many, Premier league grounds it was fantastic.

Toilets: S.P. Rating: (9) The toilets about 30 yards from the stand were the best I have been in outside our own at the Showgrounds. They were small but the bar on the cubicle door actually functioned, there was adequate toilet paper, paper towels and sinks with water. There was also lighting, an unusual occurrence for an Irish league ground and they were 'clean', a credit to Banbridge Town and their directors again.

Playing Surface: S.P. Rating: (6) The surface at Crystal Park actually had grass on it (Crusaders and Cliftonville take note), it appeared to be good to play on as our team clearly demonstrated in the early stages of the match and it looked fairly flat, the club and their directors are to commended (again),on upholding the standards we all love, using a grass surface, sure it's the way football should be played!
