The amount of money in the area. Was let down with conditions.
The bar was dark and felt like a throwback to the 80s at best, and smelt like an old library but
The staff was good and friendly.
The pitch was in good shape, and the view was good
Their a slope of around a metre from one side to another, though.
Car parking is available for two quid but save your money and park on the road for free.

History (from Wikipedia)
Ground[edit]
The club originally played at the Meadows, a site donated to the village by Colonel Wiggins.[3] However, the ground was unenclosed and the club could not charge for admission. Following World War II, they relocated to the Guants, a field on Snake Lane. However, this was soon needed for housing. The club then purchased a field on Redditch Road for £1,000, building a new ground that became opened in 1957 and was named Lye Meadow.[3] A record attendance of 13,500 was set for an FA Amateur Cup quarter-final tie against Enfield in 1964–65, although it is estimated that there were up to 16,000 in the ground.[11]
