Best ground?

Which is the best Alliance ground you have played on and what impressed you most about it?

Our ground of course, the aftermatch Scouse buffet is Michelin starred

Ours!!

Semi Final venue, secure changing rooms, each team can lock own doors (very important), hot showers (a luxury compared to some!), a bar and most importantly as the home team....the pitches (both) are preapred in advance by the Huncote staff, corner flags, nets and they even roll the pitch in bad weather to ensure that as many games are played as possible!!

Can get very boggy, an also a bit of a hill!!

I believe our ground of Mossdale Meadows is one of the best, I've played there for 12 years for Kingsway, and now as manager of AC Wigston, only ever seen two games called of due to weather, secure changing rooms, showers, home team have there own showers , Tuck shop serving sweets, soup, hot drinks, bacon and sausage cobs with tomatoes or mushrooms.

Result!!

Have to say it was a good ground to play the semi final on. Only problem is the barriers on the oppposite side to the dug outs are fairly close to the pitch which makes some throw ins difficult. The pigeon shooting next door was a bit of a pain!!!!

its gota be blaby old boys!

Uplands Park!

accies all day long

I second that - but then I would!!

Uplands is pretty decent for a council pitch, but it has to be the accies ground

Must admit Uplands is nice pitch, but I agree with the above, LM United and AC Wigston have quality pitches that are well maintained, big, fairly flat!! Ideal for knocking the ball around on

no good for your lot then

Don't like Uplands at all. Our place at Mossdale Meadows is decent. Well run and nice pitches.

If you're on the pitch next to the changing rooms yeah, but not our pitch. All the bad weather last year and not one of our games got called off

Here here. A marvellous pitch that one. As flat as Holland that one!

Gutho old boys for me

Was Thurnby United's at Colthurst Way in Thurnby Lodge on top of the hill. Flat and wide. Looked good the other day when I saw a Saturday side on there

best ground is where all county and league cup finals played for our league......

only a few will have played on it but you know that is quality.....

Accies for sure. Holmes Park is top notch as well

Obviously biased as I've been playing there for over 11 years, but the Accies ground is by far the pitch in the league, better than a lot of Saturday pitches. Doesn't have the luxury of clubhouse sadly, but footballing wise, the pitch is awesome. Anyone on here from Trinity OB, Frolesworth, or Hurricanes, who have all played on it this season, would agree it's amazing at the moment. We call it home disadvantage, as teams turn up and play better than they normally would on their council pitches.

As for other top grounds, obviously Holmes Park is quality, but that goes without saying. On a Saturday, for anyone who's played at Medbourne in the Northants League, good facilities there. Clubhouse selling food and ales, and a pretty good pitch. Nice setup.

yeah accies is top notch.

although don't think they enjoyed it when we played them due to the 7-0 scoreline

Worst Pitch?????

Love the Uplands pitches and won 2/2 there

if you like Uplands pitches, there is one available this year....

How much do they cost Widds?

From memory, if you pay for a block booking of ten, they are about £37 quid each, if you pay individually you pay VAT on top of it mate...if you are interested let me know and i will drop you the contacts email address mate

Although they're much better pitches than Horsewell Lane, Horsewell is so close to all of us and served us well so as the price isn't much different, I reckon we will stay put! Cheers though Widds.

No worries mate

thats pretty cheap tbh

Yeah very cheap, and the facilities are really good as well. Not sure what pitches people say are boggy, but i dont think we have had a game called off for weather in two years there.....was in great nick this year

we were the only pitch in Leicester to get a game on one day last December!!!

Agreed, in 4 years up there we've not have a game called off , added bonus of never losing a ball either as there are no houses backing onto our pitch, although it can be a pain fetching them if your a keeper on our pitch!!

oh we do lose the balls over the hedge, but the nice lady throws them back (or rings me when she gets home and arranges for me to collect later on). They're not cheap!!

saff lounges pitch is a good pitch, lets hope that aylestone stick to their own pitch, which is the 1 at the back on the far right as you enter the ground
