Lovely club house with lots of seating, staff friendly and a nice selection of drinks hot and cold. Viewing around the pitch is also very good with plenty of seated area, what was nice on the other side of the ground there was hit drinks food and toilets so that you did not need to come all around the ground for either. Good luck in the rest of the season.
