Suffolk Rules!

Car Parking: S.P. Rating: (4) There is a car park, but it's small and I now just park in a side street, not ideal but adequate.

Access: S.P. Rating: (4) There is a separate entrance for visitors and staff are friendly, although prices weren't displayed, but an adult and a concession totalled £16, reasonable enough.

Spectating Facilities: S.P. Rating: (6) Donegal Celtic are to be congratulated as they have a small but adequate stand for visitors. On the down side it's at one end of the ground and the dugouts restrict the view up the nearside wing somewhat, but it's a lot better than many aforementioned clubs, who shove visitors into a stand behind the goals.

Toilets: S.P. Rating: (8) Facilities here are excellent, clean, dry and hygienic. The urinal was clean, the cubicles had paper and doors that barred and the sinks had water,soap and driers. It was great to be treated like a human being, other clubs please take note.

Playing Surface: S.P. Rating: (8) The surface at Suffolk Road appeared to be excellent and our players certainly enjoyed playing football on it . All in all Suffolk Road is a credit to the D.C., it's only drawback being the need for visiting fans to be escorted in and out by the P.S.N.I., but it is streets ahead of many other clubs with it's first class facilities!
