A Meadow Barren of Goals

So the Greenhous Meadow Stadium was a modern one on the outskirts of town and lacked much character or originality but does it job well enough.  I must say the catering was excellent. Tea with real milk you added yourself and a fresh tuna baguette to munch on, nice.


The match was a closely fought stalemate goalless affair and the home crowd were a quiet lot. Both clubs look likely to make the play-offs but no more. Shropshire is a real country county and we ha a pleasant day.

No Dons of Football today

So Milton Keynes Stadium and the Dons.  A scorching hot day and probably not one to bext enjoy from seats firming in the sun all game. Still the shelter of the wonderful concourse was available.  More interesting than some of the recent modern grounds I have visited.  Very obvious scope for expansion though on te day current capacity wasn't filled.  Padded seats, good visibility, easy access and clean facilities makes this ground a nice place to see football. The away fans, from Huddersfield, were a very happy and vocal bunch.  For most of the game they drowned out an local support but given their team were winning easily maybe not surprising.
 All in all definitely liked the ground and it was a pleasant experience.

Leafy Lamex

Stevenage Boro have a ground with modest pretentions from the road view.  Once in though it is a lovely little ground with very friendly locals.  The football was good, both home and away teams were playing vibrant football.

A definite feel of its non-league roots but nice enough, enjoy.  The ground has a convenient free car park over the road.  The team played some nice football.
