For a local football club, this has great facilities, the pitch was in great condition, considering the weather we have had, and the clubhouse reasonably priced.
There was great smelling food and a tired but functional stand.
The only thing that shocked me was the entry cost of £10 per adult

I'm not a football fan but it was in my bucket list to go to a football match at some point and it happened on this day after being talked in to it by the children of a friend I met in the pub a few hours prior to the game.
It wasn't Man U v Arsenal (I presume), but I enjoyed myself thanks to the friendly crowd.

History (from Wikipedia)
Ground[edit]
Lowestoft originally played at the Crown Meadow Athletics Ground, which shared part of the same site as the modern Crown Meadow. In 1889 they moved to a ground in North Denes, but returned to the new Crown Meadow in 1894. It was opened with a match against Lowestoft Harriers on 22 September 1894. In 1922 the club bought the ground from the council for £3,150 after it looked as though the site may be sold for housing.[5] Floodlights were installed in 1964 and a social club built in the same year. The record crowd of 5,000 was set for the FA Cup match against Watford 1967.
In 1988, the pavilion (which was built in 1885) was demolished and part of the site was sold to a developer, with the proceeds funding the building of a new changing room and hospitality block.[5] Today the ground consists of a 466-seat stand with standing areas around the rest of the pitch.
