calara99's review of Recreation Club

Visited as an away supporter in March 2025. It's a nice ground with covered stands on 3 sides (2 with seats), and no access at all to the 4th (cricket pitch). There's a club house selling the usual fare, and the pies looked really good. The team played attractive passing football - always a treat at this level.
Should you be looking for a pub for a pre-match drink I'd recommend The Sun Inn.

Location

Massive gripe here - although the ground is right in the town centre the only access requires that you walk right around 3 sides of the ground to get in. There's a large car park - but not everyone wants to drive. This must be as much a frustration for locals as it was for anyone arriving by bus.

View

Covered on 3 side - good standing area behind the goal and seats in the other two stands.

Facilities

Rather alarmingly the fire exit was locked with a padlock with no-one from the club nearby. That said with crowds of under 200 you may as well just get on the pitch in an emergency

Food & Drink

There's a bar and a hot food stand. The pies looked good but didn't try either.

Police & Stewards

No need

Atmosphere

Good support from the home fans - and welcomed as an away supporter. A nice ground and a good day out
