That was different! No idea what was going on in the match (then again I don't with football either!) Is the Lea Valley near Stone Wall FC and Westham's grounds?

Bracknell did indeed used to play in Bracknell. They moved to Sandhurst some 3 seasons ago when their ground (also 3 G) was sold for Housing. Sandhurst FC is also owned by same family. Husband is Chairman of Bracknell and Wife Chairman of Sandhurst.

Local B&Q must have had a special offer on black paint when they did this ground up. When I went here a couple of years ago kick off was delayed until 4-45pm due to the away team being held up in traffic. No food in the ground that day also, so I don't have happy memories of the place 🥴

The reason the pitch is so good is because Arsenal maintain it, their U21s play their too. So they fund the pitch up keep and Arsenal groundsmen tend to it. There are plans to build a North Bank equivilant at the South End of the ground too but planning permission has not been requested yet, it is still being figured out.

@alastairwood1745 Thanks for this info, ground is really lovely, hopefully planning permission is granted for the south end.
