Cracking stand

It's a nice ground with good facilities. We went there last season. Pitch is flat not like their last one. Those tube trains go up and down within a couple of minutes of each other.

Looks it , never been. Appears to be in a bit of a dull part of London though.Our CK stand should be like that, just a little smaller. It should be compulsory for all grounds to have a working railway line next to them, love to see trains going past.

Yes great for trainspotting.
It was great to have a match stopped when the steam blew over pitch.

It is in Edgeware North London. Ten minute'ish walk from Canon's Park tube station on the Jubilee Line.
They've got plans to develop it further.

Bolton ( before my time ) Lincoln, Hull, Maidenhead , Pools ( screeching noise as trains negotiate the bend in the line near the old Clarence Road signal box ) all had railway lines near their grounds, any more?

Millmoor Rotherham. Exeter City. Walsall. Arsenal.

Kidderminster Harriers had the steam railway running along one side

so do ramsbotton, the east lancashire railway. used to love refereeing buxton in norfolk. the whole place was like a 1950,s film set for miss marple with a steam train at the bottom of the ground and a joan hickson type village.

stockport, blackpool pre beeching. halifax and bradford city are still very near but for some reason you do not know they are there.

Blackpool and Bradford back in the day , before my time, but seen the pics, had massive railway sidings running alongside their grounds. think Pompey might have had also. Love the old grounds next to railways, smoke stack industry and hemmed in by scrapyards and foundrys etc

2 more, vale park and hulls old ground where i think had its own railway station. then who could forget the backdrop to millmoor. all will live in our memories well after we forget poncy harrogate and the green desert of fylde.

I remember going to Oakwell when Barnsley were in the 4th Division in the 1970s and being gobsmacked by the end with open terracing (Pontefract Road End?) that looked like they'd just concreted over the side of a slag heap. It was at least twice the height of the Rink End. Standing on the top terraces there on a blowy winter's day must have been character building...

Twice the height of the Rink End? Probably was a slag or pit heap to be fair

Remember Leeds Road Huddersfield it was a crumbing wreck.
Seemed huge as well.

actually i remember the place before the concrete came and at the back it went up to a point at one end. oakwell had a distinct smell about the place. not obnoxious like the millmoor bogs but an industrial type smell more like a heavy engineering factory.

Shrewsbury as well, remember once getting escorted along the railway tracks from the ground to the station, only took 5-10 minutes.

better than 10 to 15 by train.
