Shepshed Dynamo - The Dovecote
|
| Website(s) : |
| Discussion Boards(s) : |
| Directions : M5, M42 until the end. Continue along the A42 for five miles and take the second exit off at the wonderfully named Ashby de la Zouch. Take the third exit on the roundabout and continue seven miles along the A512 until you reach Shepshed. Take the second right into the town (Leicester Road) and go straight ahead at the garage (Forest Street), the road sweeps around to the left (Loughborough Road) and the ground is on the right. |
| Parking : If you're lucky you can park in Butthole Lane, if you're luckier still you can even park in the ground. Although latecomers can use the pub car park down the road although we usually look for divine inspiration and park in the church car park. |
| Ground Description : The only height at the ground is the small main stand, the rest is pretty flat. Seating and cover are in abundance here with three stands in total, one behind the top goal and one along the side of the pitch. The Clunhouse has it's roof extended to provide cover for standing spectators and the only part of the ground that is uncovered is behind the bottom goal. |
| Food : Normal Northern fare. They even put mushy peas on the mushy peas! |
| Social Club : Medium sized club with nice comfy seats and Sky TV. |
| Supporters : A small but loyal band of supporters who make as much and if not more noise than crowds two, three or four times the size. |

Solihull Borough - Damson Parkway
|
| Website(s) : |
| Discussion Boards(s) : |
| Directions : M5 & M42 to J6 (the NEC & Birmingham Airport), take a left and head along the A45 to Brum. Watch out for the speed cameras and after about two miles take another left (at the Holiday Inn traffic lights) and go for a mile down Damson Parkway. The ground is on the right so you have to go to the roundabout and double back. |
| Parking : Plenty of parking in an unsurfaced car park, aided by a troop of old gents who love to point and confuse. |
| Ground Description : Half a ground with a nice but open stand and good cover behind one goal. The other two sides are open to the elements and 'blue ice' being dropped from aircraft landing at the nearby airport. The playing surface is one of the best in the league as it's maintained by Birmingham City whose reserves are based there. |
| Food : Forget the diet ladies and gents. |
| Social Club : Quite small, split onto two levels but absolutely memorable for the fantastic display of shirts, pennants and caps stapled onto the celing. Top notch! |
| Supporters : Solihull suffer from the number of clubs in a small area and struggle to get much support at all. |

Sutton Coldfield Town - Coles Lane
|
| Website(s) : |
| Discussion Boards(s) : |
| Directions : M5, M6 (South) to the Spaghetti Junction (J6). Take the A5127 through Erdington and into Sutton Coldfield until you get to the Cinema and then go right after you pass it. At the bottom of the road go straight ahead and into Coles Lane, the ground is on the left. |
| Parking : Fairly big car park and street parking. |
| Ground Description : Nowhere near as bad as many people would have you believe. There is a stand high off the ground, plus cover alongside half of the length of the pitch and behind the goal. |
| Food : Pretty decent and they also stock alcohol in the tea bar! |
| Social Club : Two big bars with a big TV Screen. |
| Supporters : How can I write this without mentioning the Sutton Gnome? |

Swindon Supermarine - Hunts Copse
|
| Website(s) : , |
| Discussion Boards(s) : |
| Directions : Take the A417, then A419 to Swindon. After Blunsdon Hill carry on along the bypass until you reach the Honda turn off, follow signs towards Highworth and the ground is just off the third roundabout. |
| Parking : Plenty of parking although you have to negotiate a ridiculous iron frame to get into the car park. |
| Ground Description : Hellenic. Two small stands and no cover for standing spectators. |
| Food : Not bad, on my first visit they had chisken and chips but this year it was burgers and hot dogs. |
| Social Club : A tidy clubhouse but smaller than Meadow Park. |
| Supporters : City fans made up more than half of the crowd and with a sometimes successful League side in the town it's easy to see why they're poorly supported. |
