Horton Road
Hidden behind a petrol station in Horton Road used to be a football stadium. As a youngster I only ever went there once, I have vague recollections of an "It's a Knockout" type event that took place there and the place seemed massive to the young me, although in reality it probably wasn't.

My second visit was for a "free" friendly against a team of Loughborough Students on November 9th 1985. It finished 0-0 and I couldn't wait to get away!
