Positive experience: Pay to play is ok during the summer. In the winter they don't turn the pitch lights on for bookings less than 15 people, Me and my son ended up playing in the dark from 4.30pm onwards.. we gave up.

Kimberley Tiplady 2 years ago

Positive experience: The road in was chocker with parked cars blocking the road so we couldn't actually get down to the car park as the traffic was queued up that much. Then when we finally got to the hub the turnstiles cause a bottle neck and end up queuing there. The lines on the pitch are really confusing for the kids causing all kinds of confusion in the game.

MrMitsubishi2011 3 years ago

Negative experience: Facilities average, rude staff, £2 tax free Cash only payment on the door after ridiculously long registration process, experience made worse by home teams parents shouting obscenities at our children. The poor young child referee didn’t have a chance of controlling the game influenced heavily by his own home team parents the louder they screamed at him the more likely he was to buckle. Won’t be returning it’s all Downhill for this place and the classy parents.

Positive experience: Too non League ground

Jonny 5 4 years ago

Negative experience: Very good facilities but trying to get in is very over the top. Came here for a tournament and the staff were very rude at the entrance. You also need a qr code to get through a turnstile where you need to provide a ton of personal information. Its more strict than a Premier league football ground.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to take kids to play football large field

mark bowley 7 years ago

Negative experience: Mainly used for football though can be a number of dog walkers too. The Local council closed the changing rooms and toilets during the spate of cost cutting of their local amenities, expecting football teams and their players to risk being charged with indecent exposure! Players having to get changed in their cars now. Lot of scrambling motorbikes ride around the area now so can be a bit perilous for dog walkers.
