RE Newbury : ... not sure how much they've managed to re-instate at Faraday Rd yet - they only really returned properly this season .....or late last?
Rumours abound the local council (W.Berks) may be set to approve plans for 'significant investment' - whatever that means?
(article on FootballinBerkshire.com suggest new surface and lights. )
- the old clubhouse was pretty decent but got burned down I believe
- best check their soc.med. outlets 'X' or FB to see what they say about facilities available for forthcoming matches
- would imagine they'd have 'recovered' enough followers to want to offer some on-site hospitality.
I hope to get back there myself before too long - one of my personal faves - one of the 'homelier' local grounds
- also always got large 'aggregate' crowds over a season simply because of it's 'central' location in the Hellenic footprint - as was.
