Relatively old fashioned non league ground more than adequate for the National League. Admission is too expensive even after recent price cuts. I can watch Peterborough for the same amount and Cambridge United for less and usually do. Some of the younger fans can be over committed. Pitch is not the best and needs improvement.

History (from Wikipedia)
The club took over the Walks ground from King's Lynn, who had played there since being formed in 1881. Canvas screens were erected around the ground in 1892 to prevent people watching matches without paying.[2] In 1893 a match was played against Wisbech Town under electric lights.[2] A stand was built in 1896, although it was demolished in 1905, replaced by a 500-seat wooden grandstand built at a cost of £250.[2] In the mid-1950s the Supporters Club installed terracing for 4,000 and 780 seats on the northern side of the pitch. In 1955 the wooden stand was sold to a company in Spalding and a new grandstand seating 1,400 with a terraced paddock holding 3,000 was built at a cost of £27,000 and opened by then FIFA President and FA Chairman Arthur Drewry on 18 August 1956.[2]
Floodlights were installed in 1963 and used for the first time in a Culey Festival Cup match against Cambridge City on 25 September.[2]
